After all that's happened recently, do you still believe Trump will win the 2020 election? And why? Both opinions please. Yes or No.
AND BIDEN IS STILL AHEAD IN THE POLLS.He's lost a lot with all the things that are coming out about him. I can see many changing their minds. His delay and denial concerning the virus. His cavalier attitude about people dying because of the lack of masks,etc. He has told many lies that have been proven. The die hard trumpers don't believe but some are easily discouraged. My reason for voting has not changed so I am in but There are many things that have come out that don't add to his pleasant side if there is one. I agree that he wasn't thinking of us when it came to lives that could have been saved. He still isn't when he could insist that all docs have that super dose he got that rejuvenated him. Despite my reasons for voting for him, I firmly believe he is all for himself.
What I am finally saying is I don't believe he got any new voters on his side because that would be dems and I think he might have lost many that voted last time. If only he had a different personality.AND BIDEN IS STILL AHEAD IN THE POLLS.
Really, that surprises meBut his personality is what many like about him.
Many of these young kids are like the sports hooligans. They trash the town if they lose. They trash the town if they win. I think anyone watching the news should realize that these protests no longer have anything to do with justice, injustice, or even Trump. They have just become nothing more than an excuse to party and have fun.He's just going to win, polls mean nothing as they meant nothing in 2016.
He held back for less time in this health situation than Obama did for H1N1, a lot less time. Trump makes a mistake they call it a lie.
Biden's lied for his entire 47 year career and as late as the last debate, Dems have a way of intentionally lying and making it sound smooth as butter, thus believable.
I have to vote for Trump because I can't vote for someone anti Israel or who supports the killing of 60,000,000 infant human beings. America needs to turn back to Gods ways, His policies, not a political take over regime tied to anti American radicals burning buildings and harassing our people and worse, even killing citizens, that is getting more radical every day and admitting it will get worse if he stays in office. I personally believe there is a huge come upping headed their way once we get past the election. Many of these people belong on trial for treason against our country and a sitting president. Change my mind ? After the actions we have seen in our street ? No way ! Will it get worse upon Trumps re election ? Probably but not for long.

Well, you certainly have some valid arguments. On the other hand I believe he lost many because of the way he handled covid and he is still on the wrong path in my mind. I think that those that were on the fence fell over to Biden's side because of the booboos of this year regardless that they may not have been Trumps problems, they believe he caused them because of all the negative publicity. It is overwhelming compared to Biden's negative news events. The dems accept anything that allows them to stay where they are. So considering that no dem jumped fence. Some republicans have according to the news. In my mind that means all of dems from 2016 and some Republicans that have joined. And the math is...........Assuming a fair election, yes.
President Trump's base is larger now than it was in 2016. Even the NYT acknowledges that.
President Trump has an economy which, up until COVID, was roaring along. Nobody blames him for the economic problems we've had lately. He has a demonstrated ability to create and manage a thriving economy.
#WalkAway is very real. I am friends with people who voted for [insert candidate] in the 2016 Democrat primaries who have told me that there's literally nothing about the modern day Democrat Party that they relate to.
I work in a liberal office. And by that, I mean pro-union, left-of-center, Sierra Club liberals. The office has a lot of upper and mid-spectrum Millennials. On quite a few occasions (before the lockdown), I heard co-workers saying things like "It's not that I love Trump or anything but he seems pretty normal compared to everybody else". They don't know what to make of this green-haired progressive stuff. They want nothing to do with it.
Whether President Trump's most ardent haters want to accept it or not, he does look like "the lesser evil" to a lot of people who happily voted for Hillary four years ago.
President Trump enjoys higher levels of support among the black and hispanic communities than previous Republican candidates. He doesn't need a majority of either group to win the election. He just needs to chip a few points away. By itself, that could be enough.
As to the polls, allegedly the oversights of 2016 have been fixed and the polls coming out now are 100% trustworthy. Maybe they are. But we live in a time now where wearing a MAGA hat can land you in the hospital. Or even the morgue. Trump supporters have good reason to either not participate in polls or else to give false answers.
In most previous elections, it stands to reason that people weren't afraid to express support for so-and-so candidate. But those days are over. Right now, there is a perceived social, profession and possibly physical cost associated with supporting President Trump. Under these circumstances, it's kind of dumb to assume that polls respondents are telling the absolute truth. Maybe they are. But I don't think that should be assumed.
The Rust Belt states that decided 2016 have no reason to change their opinion now. President Trump has a track record of bringing jobs back to those blue collar communities. There have been setbacks, perhaps, but there have been serious and noticeable gains as well. President Trump has done more for those communities than probably the previous six or seven Presidents have done. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think they'll forget that. And if they're courted properly then they could be become a permanent client group in the Republican Party.
But all of this assumes a fair election and I think the jury is still out on that.
Your last paragraph, very funny.Yes. Two reason 1) People vote with their pocketbook and despite everything the economy has been good. 2) Safety. Trump supports the police and condemns the lawlessness that many Democratic mayors and governors allow.
Remember people often tell the pollisters one thing in public, but vote another in private.
