Poll: Voters say Trump's Twitter use could cost him reelection (Steaming pile of fake news alert)
Politico ^ | May 1, 2019 | Steven Shepard

Posted on 05/01/2019 6:01:34 AM PDT by Zakeet

In recent days, President Donald Trump has turned his Twitter account into a stream of 280-character invective against Democratic front-runner Joe Biden, giving the former vice president a somnolent nickname and calling him "not very bright."

Despite the ability to broadcast his electoral weapon directly at his 60 million followers, could the president’s participation on his favorite social media network actually hamper his chances at winning a second term?

Nearly half of voters, 46 percent, in a POLITICO/Morning Consult poll say that, yes, Trump’s Twitter use hurts his reelection campaign - more than twice the number who say his direct-to-voters Twitter account is an asset.

Seven in 10 voters say Trump uses Twitter too much, while 14 percent say he uses it the right amount. Believe it or not, 1 percent of voters say Trump doesn’t tweet enough.

That’s one of the main reasons he won the election.

One of the people polled was probably Mittens.

The media is desperate to shape the president’s behavior so he will lose. His refusal to conform to their standards is driving them crazy.

Never forget that Politico was started by Hillary Clinton followers after Barack Obama beat her in the 2008 run for the presidency. This outfit is a Democrat propaganda arm and cannot ever be believed.

Bullshit!

I’d rather hear the story from President Trump.

The media filters, editors, and talking points from the Democrat Party are not my cup of tea...If I want that kind of blather, I will click on Yahoo News, Google, or any of the MM sites.

For 40 years, a majority polled say they hate negative and attack ads. And yet both sides use them effectively over and over again. What people say they hate and what they actually respond to can be two different things.

Politicians have the ability to run their mouths and say almost nothing. President Trump is brutally honest all the time and he does not do political nothing speak.

Trump needs to take on two new issues that will get him re-elected. Stop phone companies and cable companies from raising rates without telling the users. What would happen if your electric and gas did that. You start with a 35 dollar electric bill and regardless of usage you end up paying 235 dollars for electric. Old people are getting killed and young people have just dropped the service.

Next are home phone spammers. People that call and try to get you to give up your SSN or other information or money. They are just spamming our most vulnerable people, our elderly.And often they are pretending to be some form of the government like the IRS or police. I can’t figure out why we let this still happen. Don’t tell me we can’t stop it. And don’t tell me its not making the phone companies money.

Trump should go hard against both of these practices.

You have that right. His use of Twitter lets him bypass the MSM. I get at least one good laugh every day. And he is the only person I follow on Twitter.
