Donald Trump is facing the prospect of a landslide loss
CNN ^ | June 25,2020 | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 06/25/2020 2:31:17 PM PDT by Rennes Templar

(CNN)A half dozen new swing-state polls released Thursday morning suggest that not only would President Donald Trump lose if the election were held today, he would lose in a landslide.

The surveys, conducted by The New York Times and Siena College, show Trump trailing former Vice President Joe Biden by double digits in Michigan (Biden +11), Wisconsin (Biden +11) and Pennsylvania (Biden+ 10) and by mid-single digits in North Carolina (Biden +9), Arizona (Biden +7) and Florida (Biden +6).

Trump won every one of those states in the 2016 election. Switch them from red to blue and you can quickly see just how bad hings look for Trump at the moment.

And, thanks to CNN's handy dandy "Road to 270" interactive electoral maps, we can do just that! Give Biden those six states -- Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona and Florida -- and keep the rest of the 2020 map just as it was in 2016, and the Democratic nominee has 333 electoral votes to just 205 for Trump. That would be a larger Electoral College margin than President Barack Obama won with in his 2012 reelection.

But even that doesn't capture how dark things could get for Trump. Consider: * A Quinnipiac University poll in Ohio released Wednesday showed Biden at 46% to Trump's 45%. (A Fox News poll released in early June showed Biden at 47% to Trump's 45%). If Ohio went to Biden, he would be at 351 electoral votes. * A Des Moines Register poll earlier this month put Trump at 44% and Biden at 43% in Iowa. Give Biden Iowa and he's at 357 electoral votes.

Great point about the turnout at primaries. People are turning out in record numbers for Trump in the primaries. I think a lot of people are genuinely afraid to tell the truth to pollsters right now given how insane the left is behaving.

... There is a lot of negative Trump hating crap yet to hit the fan .... For instance ... Despite the President's multiple attempts to stop it from being released .... That ... "Tell All" ... gossip book from the President's Niece supposedly exposing all of the Trump Family secrets will be coming out soon. Normally I wouldn't care but it sounds like the entire Trump family is even upset about it coming out stating that ..... "No amount of money' can undo damage if published..."

.... Sounds like there will be a lot of personal and family damage control that will be necessitated from the fallout from this one ......

How did that Access Hollywood tape scandal work out in 2016?
We’ve been through all this sh*t before. And Trump is President. And Hilary Clinton is not.

..... Well .... Personally I think It's going to be an uphill battle all the way .... We are in for the fight of our lives ....

..... Not only is there a Federal Election coming up with one candidate in mental decline but being bolstered by the Communist Media Machine that is withholding that fact from the public ..... But we are also in the midst of a fledgling Civil War with tens of millions of Quarantined and Bored brand new activist voters spawned in our Indoctrination Centers that we call Schools and Higher Education Facilities that weren't even voters in the previous Federal Election ..... . And further add into that a heaping serving of Election Fraud and Scandals that still have to surface ..... Then Voila ........ We are facing a big unknown that will be impossible to predict ...... It Ain't gonna be easy ....

I know it’s anecdotal but one thing I’ve noticed is that there are very few yard signs for either candidate.

What I believe is that Biden has very little enthusiasm among his supporters and Trump supporters like me do not want to bring attention to my support for him .

I live in a pretty calm neighborhood in Las Vegas but just won’t take any chances with my home or family.

I just pray, pray, and pray some more for God’s grace in this coming election. I vacillate between confidence that He didn’t give us President Trump to then just pull the rug from under our feet and fear that He has abandoned us as He said He would do in Romans.

I went for a walk today in my neighborhood, and for the first time, I noticed that several of my neighbors have put American flags up. I almost wondered if some kid was going around the neighborhood selling flags, but every flag was different.

You aren’t going to beat him with Joe Biden. That is for sure.
Which really makes me wonder if the Dems will change candidates.

I think there is much more "anti-Trump enthusiasm" than there is Trump enthusiasm. Which is why the red meat is being tossed out every hour of every day, no matter how rancid it is.

Biden's best bets are to (1) avoid debating Trump as much as possible, and (2) let voter fraud run rampant this election cycle. Biden very likely is the weakest presidential candidate we've seen since McGovern, yet he could very well win.

Cilliza was a Marxist shrill 4 years ago, even at the Wash. Post. Trust nothing he says.

I’ve noticed flags in my neighborhood too.

One I’ve seen in the last week is black and white. No thin blue line, just black and white. I tried to find out what is signified but can’t seem to find info on it.

These poll numbers are implausible.

One stat that worries me though, Trump was overwhelming the choice of those that hated both candidates (presumably mostly suburban GOP leaners), being the incumbent now and with Biden lacking Hillary’s historic hatablity that may no longer be a the case. One must hope foolish soccer moms won’t vote for looting and tearing down statues of Grant.
