YouGov Polling: Biden Skeptics Are Moderate Democrats

...YouGov’s 2016 re-contact survey suggests that Clinton lost a substantial share of Bernie Sanders’ primary voters, with 16% of Democrats who favored Sanders in May voting for Trump, Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, or some other candidate in the general election.

Biden main vulnerability at this point is within his own party, but in a different way than Clinton’s in 2016. Biden has shifted some of his policy positions to appease the left, but this move carries risks of losing moderates in his party. According to YouGov’s July 1 poll, a little over 25% of Democrats consider themselves “very liberal” ideologically; another 30% thought of themselves as merely “liberal,” while 42% consider themselves “moderate,” “conservative,” or “very conservative.” Interestingly, in that same July 1 poll, Biden showed some weakness most among the more moderate members of his party.

At the moment, Biden appears to have the support of over 90% of “liberal” and “very liberal” Democrats — moreover, virtually none of the defecting 10% say they would actually vote for Trump. By contrast, Biden is only at 81% among moderate and conservative Democrats, with 12% saying at this point they would vote for Trump. Surprisingly — given Biden’s moderate reputation during the primaries — the danger to him in November appears to come from center-right Democrats, rather than liberals...

I am skeptical that a Moderate Democrat exists. Certainly not enough of them to affect the polls or the election results.

Agreed.

It’s the blue collar white voter that usually went for the dem in places like PA, MI and the rust belt.

“the danger to him in November appears to come from center-right Democrats, rather than liberals” — Those are the people Trump will have to learn how to win over by making the looney left Biden’s joined-at-the-hip, even-crazier twin.

Partner, there are too many right center members of the DemonRat party that are voting for President Trump, period.

The far left leaning DemonRats which are mostly your Bernie Sanders communists/anarchist fans will vote for Biden.

Then we have members of the DemonRat party that are at the center, which President Trump will or maybe already has peeled off some of these voters. Some of these will vote for Biden.

You also have the members of the DemonRat party who will vote DemonRat Biden no matter what happens or who is running for the POTUS position.

President Trump will get all the Republican voters and quite a bit of the Independent voters.

The above analysis says that President Trump should win easily against the Alzheimer's/Dementia Joe Biden.

The MSM has been in full throttle of telling lie after lie. The infantile and immature MSM is lying thru their teeth everytime we hear about the virus for example.

The Doctors here in Houston say that there is no problem with the virus and the deaths have dramatically gone down here in Texas. The cases of the virus have gone up simply because they are testing more than ever before.

I have not been tested here in Texas but I take 7000 mg of vitamin C and I take about 3 Zinc pills a day.
