Marilyn MonHoe 11,011 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 President Trump hasn’t seen many good polls these days, but he might have just seen his worst of the 2020 election cycle. A new Quinnipiac University pollhas plenty of bad news for Trump — from his 2020 matchups with Democrats, to his own personal image, to his biggest asset in the 2020 race: the economy. The poll shows him trailing all five Democrats tested by between nine and 16 points. He trails Joe Biden 54 to 38, Bernie Sanders 53 to 39, Elizabeth Warren 52 to 40, Kamala D. Harris 51 to 40 and Pete Buttigieg 49 to 40. These represent his biggest deficits to date against all five candidates, according to RealClearPolitics’s compilation of polls. The poll also shows his approval/disapproval declining to 38/56, with just 27 percent approving of him strongly and 50 percent disapproving strongly. That’s the worst those splits have been in Quinnipiac polling since February 2018. He earns the approval of just 32 percent of independents and the disapproval of 60 percent. In every matchup with a Democrat, he trails among independents by at least 18 points. This is a demographic that he won in 2016 by four points. The bad news extends, perhaps most significantly, to the economy. While six in 10 registered voters still regard the economy as “excellent” (18 percent) or “good” (43 percent), for the first time since June 2016 more Americans say the economy is getting “worse” (37 percent) than say it’s getting “better” (31 percent). As recently as one year ago, more than twice as many people thought the economy was getting better as thought it was getting worse. The poll also shows, for the first time, slightly more Americans say Trump’s policies are “hurting” the economy (41 percent) than say they are “helping” (37 percent). The economic findings may be the most ominous of the entire poll for Trump. While we have yet to see a significant downturn in the American economy, there are increasing signs that it’s a possibility, and analysts are tying those growing odds to Trump’s trade war with China. The economy is by far Trump’s best issue: His approval is 38 percent or less on every other issue tested, including immigration and trade, but 46 percent on the economy. If it does decline, he’ll lose his most compelling case for reelection on an issue that is generally the most important to voters. But a new EPIC-MRA poll in Michiganon Wednesday also showed Trump trailing every Democrat in that crucial state, which Trump narrowly won in 2016, by between three and 10 points. And pretty much every high-quality national poll, including a Fox News poll earlier this month, has shown Trump trailing his top would-be 2020 opponents, including by large margins with the better-known ones. There’s plenty of time, and polls aren’t predictive, but for now it appears he’s starting from behind.

River 127,378 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The bad results of the right-wing governments across the world are starting to show up, so it goes against them now. Like in Italy now, Lega lost the battle and out of the government, in Brazil Bolsonaro will lose the support quickly after the Amazon fire and so on.. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing going for him is the so called "strong" economy and now that that's at risk from his own policies he is very likely to lose. And if the economy tanks as it likely will, he stands absolutely NO chance whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polls so far in advance are not reliable indicators, let's not forget how almost every poll had Hillary winning over Trump by a landslide. Besides, there are other more reliable indicators that point to him being reelected the way things stand right now. In the end it will come down to the state of the country a few months before the election (the economy being just one of many factors) and who he is actually running against. Disclaimer: I do not support Trump, I just think it will be very difficult for him not to win and thus we shouldn't disregard him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s amazing how facts can do nothing to change their minds because they just love their feelings too much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer: I do not support Trump, I just think it will be very difficult for him not to win and thus we shouldn't disregard him. I'll admit that he has a decent chance to win. It's roughly equal chances that either party wins the White House at this point even though he's deeply unpopular. Also, yes the polls mean nothing this early, and incumbents have the advantage. But it's a simple fact that the only thing Trump is even somewhat popular with is the economy. Should the economy falter or we go into a recession as the key economic indicators are pointing to, he stands absolutely no chance. His base will always support him no matter what, but they are a minority in this country. Independents and suburban voters are who put him over the top to win in 2016, and they won't be supporting him again in that type of a scenario. Unless Republicans cheat or use rampant voter suppression, which is already quite likely anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwing 518 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 With how things happened the past election, none of this brings me comfort. People knew what they'd be getting to or, at the very least, had an idea... and here we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwings 12,957 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I have said it multiple times already, but we have GOT to get the young people and minorities out to vote in this next election. In the Deep South where I live, Trump has a very reliable voter base of older white people. I've heard many of them say that even though they don't really care for him as a person and don't agree with everything he has done, they will still vote for him because he is the Republican candidate. They put party loyalty above everything else, and they are the one demographic that is the most consistent when it comes to turning out at the polls. As much as I hate to say it, he does have the possibility of winning, and Democrats are professionals at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, so we have to encourage the importance of voting!
