2020: New State Polls Show Trouble for Trump, Republicans in November

[mystery-ak]

New polls show trouble for President Donald Trump’s re-election prospects, as well as for Republicans wishing to take the House and hold the Senate in 2020.

While the election is still more than four months away, the polls indicate that Trump and his party face an uphill battle.

Polls are not infallible, and it is possible that these results are influenced by a growing climate of fear in the country: conservatives are afraid to tell anyone what they believe because of the risk of losing their jobs or exposing themselves to physical danger.

The Trump campaign has also accused some mainstream media outlets of using unreliable polls to suppress enthusiasm among his voters.

However, the fact that many of the polls seem to be headed in the same direction has many Republicans worried.

One poll shows Trump 16 points behind Biden in Michigan, for example — a state Trump won in 2016. Another shows Trump behind by 14 points in New Mexico — a state that the Trump campaign hopes will be competitive in November.

Polls in Arizona and Florida also look bad for the president. Arizona is particularly worrying to Republicans, because Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) faces a tough challenge from Democrat Mark Kelly, a former astronaut and the husband of former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ), who was severely wounded in a mass shooting in Tucson in January 2011.

Biden has even edged ahead of Trump in Arizona in one recent poll — and that polls also shows Jon Ossoff, who has tried and failed to win a place in Congress in the past, slightly ahead of incumbent Sen. David Perdue (R-GA). In Iowa, a state that Trump won handily in 2016, Trump barely holds a lead over Biden, who came in fourth in the Iowa caucuses.

We shall see. The fact that Trump is holding the rallies now might help him. He needs to realize that Biden is not going to be Hillary Clinton.

Trump has shown an uncanny knack for turning the lefts bullsh*t back on them. Lessee if he can continue this trend through the election season.

Much will depend upon whether it will continue to be so easy for the rat media to stampede the public.

I hope so

Trump will likely lose,  so I consider Job 1 to be the preservation of our Senate majority.   That means allowing our candidates to break with Trump when local conditions suggest it may be helpful.

Why oh why would anyone believe polls?  Especially these days.  Like Biden is the DEM dreamchild?  Come on. He's a white-haired, old school DEM, who has lied and manipulated his way through life and most of the time he doesn't even know what year it is. The only reason they made him the nominee is Trump got too close to exposing him and the rest of the DEMS with Burisma and his financial ties with China.

Trump will likely lose,

Wouldn't it be respectful to keep  your wet dreams private?

It is BS. Even the virtue signaling soccer moms are going to vote for Trump in the end. It’s going to be silent majority all the way because no one is going to say they support Trump and not BLM until they get in the voting boot.

If a Rat wins the White Hut, then there is no way the GOP keeps the Senate, and the Rats will win more seats in the House, too.  You are pipe-dreaming if you think the two/three can be separated.

Explain to me how republicans believe the polls instead of actual outcomes. 

Why is there such willingness to ignore Republican victories in the off cycle elections .. even in California? 

Why is there such a disposition to ignore extraordinary Republican fundraising ... especially the smaller donations from citizens chomping at the bit to vote for the President --- and the massive ground teams currently finishing training? 

Why does the enthusiasm gap between Republicans and Democrats not register on our radar screen -- at all -- never mind as a precursor to voter turnout?

Why don't we ever ask who are in this group of "concerned republicans"?  Are they charter members of the Lincoln Project or the Right Side Pac? Are they former office holders; Bushites?  Because something's not passing the sniff test when, at this very moment, the President enjoys a 96% approval rating among Republicans and folks have been camping out since yesterday to secure a seat at the President's rally scheduled for Saturday night.

Why do we accept that a candidate who must be kept hidden has magically reached an actual victory in the polls?

We continue to embrace loser think --- and I just don't understand what or who this benefits.

I don't think "we" believe the polls that have never been unbiased.

Love the analogy. But, instead of cattle, I picture sheep.

Ladies and gentlemen...I give you Knute Rockne! @Right_in_Virginia 

With violent thugs roaming the streets and on TV airwaves, I imagine—as @truth_seeker often reminds us—there’s a strong Bradley Effect in play, especially during this Republican presidential re-election and looting and rioting season.

I don't agree with you @Cyber Liberty

We only disagree on the exact meaning of "we," which is why I usually put it in quotation marks.

[Jazzhead]

I am finding the need to be nimble in my political advocacy.   In my professional circles,  there is little support for Trump but lots of concern about the Dems' craven willingness to kiss the feet of the mob.   Trump may be an embarrassment, but I do not ascribe to him the mendacity I do to the Dems.

We need to promote the idea of ticket splitting, in recognition that with Biden in the White House there will be nothing more vital than a GOP Congressional check against extremism and socialism.

Didn't Hillary have a 98% chance of winning on election day?
