The loyalty and enthusiasm of Donald Trump voters could very well mean the difference for the president in the November election.
The most recent Emerson College survey found that not only does Trump outdistance Biden in voter enthusiasm, but a solid majority of voters believe he will win the election.
And according to the latest Emerson College Polling’s survey, Democrats appear to be throwing in the towel. While Biden leads President Trump in a head-to-head matchup, 48%-42%, when voters overall were asked who they really think will win in November, it’s a Trump blowout, 57%-43%.
Trump’s supporters have legendary loyalty and have stuck with him through the impeachment process and in the coronavirus fight. Both should have also energized his critics to vote him out of office.
But the Emerson voting enthusiasm numbers show that isn’t the case.
Emerson found that Trump has a sizable 19-point advantage in the enthusiasm gap, 64%-45%. Some 36% of his supporters said they are “extremely excited” to vote for Trump, and 28% said they are “very excited.” For Biden, those numbers are 22% and 23%.
Biden wins the “mildly excited” category, with 29% to Trump’s 22%.
Would the Democrats have been more excited if Bernie Sanders were the nominee? I think the “very excited” number would be higher, but overall enthusiasm would still find Trump far ahead. There are enough sane Democrats left who realize what a Bernie Sanders presidency would mean and not be enthused about voting for a socialist.

The Dems are going to have some real problems in this area.
- Bernie supporters are going to be steamed that their guy got pushed aside a second time for a candidate whose health is collapsing.
- Many will look at Biden and feel too sorry for him to vote him into a stressful job.
- BernieBros will be doubly-torqued if they ditch Joe at the convention and insert a nominee absolutely nobody voted for.
tku-we could use some good news-I tune into Red Eagle politics on Youtube once in a while and he highlighted this
The entire “Trump-wins-this-by-a-landslide” narrative was always overblown. It has always been the case that if he wins re-election, it will be by a sliver much smaller than 2016.
The media has gone into overdrive on the lies that have poisoned the weak-minded voters in this country. That is the factor that makes winning re-election such a challenge. In another post, a poll shows that a majority of the population STILL believe that Trump colluded with the Russians to win the election, even after a year-long probe disproved it.
Good point about Red Eagle politics. I like him a lot and he is very savvy.
The polls are a bunch of crap.
I tell every BernieBro I know that Bernie should be the nominee if Biden can’t for some reason just to get them to hate the eventual real nominee.
Public sector employees: Trump’s economy was the best thing that ever happened to the solvency of your pension funds. Millions of the people who pay for your salaries, pensions, and bennies are now jobless. Dems not only want this situation to continue, they want it to get even worse.
Why in God’s name would you vote for the people who are doing this to you?!
...and it’s been that way for Trump voters for the last 4 1/2 years or so. MAGA
And by all that is right and fair, he should be.
“I tell every BernieBro I know that Bernie should be the nominee if Biden can’t for some reason just to get them to hate the eventual real nominee”.
I do that, too. I’m acquainted with a few and I never let them know where I’m coming from and they think I’m a Bernie supporter. It’s actually very easy to do. I love doing it.
Make it so.
You can also consider why many stayed home in 2012. It was probably that better thing in the long run to have Obama and Hillary continue to seriously damage the Democrat brand on their own versus having Romney in all likelihood be that very serious disappointment for our side.

Excellent post. Yes, it’s flabbergasting that they can’t connect the dots.
Polls are subject to so much manipulation that I don’t put much stock in them in most cases. But even if this one is close to accurate, it doesn’t take into consideration the actual campaign that is likely to kick in after Labor Day. Because of the virus, it’s hard to say what it will look like, but one thing we do know is that Biden is losing his cognitive abilities at such a rate that his handlers hardly allow him to appear at live events. Do they plan on keeping him in his basement through November?
“...a poll shows that a majority of the population STILL believe that Trump colluded with the Russians...”
??????Where was this (probably selective) poll taken??? Baltimore?? San Francisco??? Chicago???
Anyone voting for Senile Joe has to be more brain damaged than he is.
Cenk said to the young jerks...cities will burn. Analysis BUMP! Good stuff, McFrog. Thanks.
“- Bernie supporters are going to be steamed that their guy got pushed aside a second time for a candidate whose health is collapsing.”
I think the fact Biden doesn’t appear to know what day of the week it is might do him even more harm.
They (Biden’s team) will do all they can to avoid debates.
It simply would not be a fair fight.
Pres. Trump needs to emphasize the reality that Democrats hate each & every one of us who voted for him in 2016, and are turning to violence to get their way this November.
“It’s not me they’re after, it’s you. I’m just in the way.”
