President Trump has chipped away at big Democratic leads in a key 2020 election survey, and top aide Stephen Miller said that internal polls show the president doing even better than in 2016 when he beat Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In the new survey from Zogby Analytics, the gap between leading Democrats including former Vice President Joe Biden and Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders has tightened, though the Republican still trails considerably.
Trump, however, beats rising Democratic star Sen. Kamala Harris by three points.
Overall, the data points to Trump making gains with his base and key groups such as NASCAR fans and Walmart shoppers. The president is also making small gains with key Democratic groups such as Millennials, Generation Z, independents and women, while his Democratic rivals are losing ground with these groups,” said the analysis of the poll, a redo of a January 2020 survey.
“This is all simultaneously happening while Republicans are making gains against Democrats regarding the congressional midterms,” it added.
Since January, Biden’s lead over Trump has dropped 5 points, to 48 percent to 38 percent. Biden is doing well with some voters associated with Trump.
“President Trump struggles against Biden because Biden beats the president with his base of voters-those who frequently shop at Walmart (43 percent to 42 percent) and voters with no college education (Biden leads 44 percent to 40 percent), while Trump wins 53 percent to 39 percent with NASCAR fans. All these categories have tightened between the two candidates since January, but Biden still leads with most groups, especially important groups that are favorable to Trump,” said the poll.
The lead held by Sanders also dropped and is at 48 percent to 42 percent. Sanders is winning men and independents against Trump, said Zogby. “Sanders numbers are down slightly outside the margin of error this time around, especially with many key groups such as Millennials, Walmart shoppers and minorities,” the survey analysis explained.
Warren also saw her lead over Trump cut by three points, and is now 43 percent to 37 percent.
Unlikely 2020 candidates Oprah Winfrey and former first lady Michelle Obama also do well over Trump. Winfrey leads 53 percent to 47 percent. Obama’s lead is 48 percent to 39 percent.
Rising potential Democratic candidates, Sens. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris, struggle against Trump.
Harris loses in the new poll, 36 percent to 39 percent for Trump.
Booker is tied at 38 percent.
Top Trump aide Stephen Miller told Secrets that the administration’s internal polls are better.
“Our poll numbers are better today than they were on Election Day,” Miller told Secrets.
“In today’s country with the nonstop negativity in the media and everything else the political success that we’re having in what you’re seeing in the numbers, the generic ballot and everything else, is all enormously positive,” he added.
Biden would have won in 2016 and is the only serious threat in 2020.
Let’s not count our chickens before they’re hatched. We have a long, HOT Summer ahead of us...
Let’s just follow PDJT’s LEAD (so HAPPY to have a LEADER in the White House, again!) and keep our noses to the grindstone and crank it out each and every day to thwart ALL members of the Socialist Democrat Party and to...
...MAGA! :)
Re: Harris and Booker.
America won’t elect another POC ago the White House for 100 years.
Oh, Please!
Biden will be 77 years old then and has been feeble minded since he was 50.
He is no threat, whatsoever.
“America won’t elect another POC ago the White House for 100 years.”
I agree with you on that point, though! :)
Same thoughts here. Fake polls?
But people such as those two could be running mates, of whoever the Dem nominee is.
I heard that the 2004 ticket of Kerry and Edwards, could be the last Democrat ticket of two white men, heterosexual white men, on a presidential ticket. Because of the tribal politics the Democrats push so much, there will be enormous pressures to have other than white heterosexual men on a presidential ticket.
I can understand how they think. Suppose a white man such as Sander or Biden is the presidential nominee. He would be under enormous pressures to pick a VP from one of the grievance groups, such as woman, ethnic/racial minority, not strictly heterosexual, even Muslim.
Biden is actually dangerous, and not just in a groping way.
He does really well with blue-collar men, the rust belt in general, and would be a shoe-in to take PA. He is also quite likeable in person when he is not talking politics, and is a very good debater. I’m sure everyone remembers how he cleaned Paul Ryno’s clock in the VP debate of 2012.
Biden has to answer for Seal Team Six which will blow him out of the water.
Trump will smash Bbiden like a guitar. I hope he runs.
Plus the videos of Biden with his arm around young girls should sink him.
Joe has never, ever got out of a Democratic primary. He’s not getting out of one in 2020 at 77 years old.
Agreed. I don’t think he would be popular with the younger voters.
Biden has to answer for Seal Team Six which will blow him out of the water.
bttt
But now that DJT has shown the voters what he’s made of, I think he’s a lock in 2020.
Unlikely 2020 candidates Oprah Winfrey and former first lady Michelle Obama also do well over Trump. Winfrey leads 53 percent to 47 percent. Obama’s lead is 48 percent to 39 percent.
...
IOW, this poll is nonsense.
