More than half of voters would not consider reelecting President Trump in 2020, according to a new poll released on Thursday.

The Hill-HarrisX poll found that 53 percent of respondents said they would not consider supporting Trump's bid for reelection, compared to 39 percent of those who said they would support it.

Just 8 percent said they were unsure.

Support for Trump’s reelection broke down along party lines.

Eighty-seven percent of Democrats said they would not consider reelecting Trump, while  11 percent of Republicans said same the same. Independents sided with Democrats on the issue at 57 percent.

The poll comes comes amid rising fears of a recession, which could threaten Trump's chances of reelection.

Hey @mystery-ak Sorry, this may be great news for you … but the size of the photo is really messing with my phone.  Can you drop it to a 700 width?

Thanks.

No sane person would answer truthfully about voting for the President --- especially to an unknown pollster.  Thanks anyway Harris X, but we're not looking to be doxxed.  You'll just have to wait until November 3, 2020.

So, let me get this straight.   They're trying to talk down the Trump economy (like they did with GWB's economy).... so they do a poll at TheHell...er...Hill....

and then ....only half of those polled said they wouldn't vote for Trump?   Somethings wrong.   Most of those idiots are lefties, so why wasn't it more like 80+% not voting for Trump?

[XenaLee]

They didn't call me.

They never call me.  Or anyone I know or have ever known.   Odd, that.

[skeeter]

Yep - they'll be putting in alot of OT over there at The Hill between now and Nov '20.

Thing is, none of these polls will mean doodlysquat until the other party has an actual candidate.

Yes, it is.  Look at it again.  It is the Independents who decide who wins.  This country is about 45-45 Dem/Rep.  The Independents are the crucial votes, and, according to this poll, they are not voting for him.
I am not surprised, I thought the Independents were getting tired of Trump every day, every day, everyday.

If I see another poll like this later on, I will know the outcome of the election.  Working in this in Texas, we were alert to Independents.  One way we identified them was, rabid Republicans and rabid Democrats voted in the primary - Independents not so much.  We would compare names from a primary to the main voter list - those who didn't vote in the primary, we identified as possible Independents and contacted them to vote for our men/women.

Polling is a precise science and any competent pollster can guarantee you the result you want before the first question is written.

@Bigun

One poll is an indication.  More polls from different sources test that first one.  Eventually, you can come up with a prediction that is not all guess.

It all depends on what stats you look at. I don't hold much stock any any of the polling data, or registration stats as they are skewed.

According to the 2017 Gallop poll -- Independents far exceeded both DEMS and PUBS.  However, according to the Washington Examiner; Democrats lead GOP by 12 million registered voters, 40% D, 29% R, 28% I.

In another report;  More people are registering as Republicans than Democrats in states with gubernatorial elections this year and in some 2020 battleground states.

The polls mean absolutely nothing until a name is put to both candidates.

@skeeter

That is a true statement.  This poll, however, was testing the waters just for Trump.  Put in a "swell Democrat" (that is an oxymoron as there isn't one), and Independents not liking Trump's antics, might go there in numbers to elect that person.

Here is something that nobody's considering. Conservatives who did not vote for Trump, opting instead for third party or a write-in. But will in 2020 knowing the socialist agenda of any of the Democrats running, and the likelyhood of RBG hanging on until the next President before she retires. Count me as one. Still not of fan of him but count me and millions more like me to be  there in 2020 with our vote.

Sure.  Just like in 2016.

NOPE. If he messes with R2KBA, as he is fixin to, he is writing his doom, and likely every Republican with him.

Exactly!

I'm with @roamer_1  --- he dares trample on the 2A -- he loses.  I cannot vote for him if he does.  That will absolutely destroy our Republic very rapidly.
