Months before election, Trump finds himself at odds with most Americans' views

WASHINGTON - The temporary fences that separated protesters from the White House have come down. But its occupant, President Donald Trump, appears to be more isolated than ever.

Recent opinion surveys, including a poll from Reuters/Ipsos this week, continue to show Trump trailing Democratic challenger Joe Biden significantly with just over four months until the Nov. 3 election.

But more revealingly, they show a president increasingly disconnected from the American electorate whose views have changed rapidly following the May 25 death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, while in Minneapolis police custody.

The lightning-quick shift in public opinion has caused the National Football League and NASCAR to embrace athletes protesting racial injustice, and some companies to rename brands criticized for racial stereotypes, such as PepsiCo Inc’s Aunt Jemima pancake mix and syrup.

Trump takes the less-popular side of issues that Americans right now say matter, such as the coronavirus pandemic and police reform, according to an analysis of Reuters/Ipsos polling data since March.

It also shows him steadily bleeding support among a broad swath of voters, even ones that have been most loyal to him such as rural Americans and white evangelicals.

Biden now has a 13-point lead over Trump, the biggest recorded by the Reuters/Ipsos poll.

That’s why a million people have requested tickets to see the president - at a venue that holds 20,000. Yes, it’s because he’s at odds with most Americans. Idiots.

Only purpose of this “report” is so that when President Trump wins by about 10 to 15 points they will say it is fake and they will question the results.

Wish we could block certain feeds here. I have Reuter’s blocked on all my other platforms. I will not listen to a bad news source that is 100% incorrect.

These 3 writers of Reuters makes an assumption that most Americans are for disrespecting the flag and our national anthem, anti-Police and for defacing and taking down our national monuments.

I don’t think they’re talking to MOST Americans.

The only thing he might be at odds with is that he didn’t send in the national guard to begin with over the wishes of the Democrats who are running this insurrection.

I stand by Trump. All Lives Matter. Woe to you who are fighting against MY country. You haven’t BEGUN to see nationalism yet.

American businesses are selling out to the BLM because it is easier to do than to stand for any convictions. They see the BLM as a bigger threat to their bottom line more than Conservatives not buying their products.

Likewise, professional sports are bought and paid for by the sponsors. If the sponsors say lurch left or we pull our sponsorship, they lurch left.

“Biden now has a 13-point lead over Trump, the biggest recorded by the Reuters/Ipsos poll.”

Yeah, keep that 13 point lead in your pocket for election day, Rooters. You’re going to need it.

Meanwhile, be sure and report to us on the thousands of people who throng to Biden campaign events.

You need a team of three liars when the lie is so big that one liar can’t carry it.

I seriously doubt that they talked to any Americans. Like that alleged “letter” to the West Point Graduates that was “supposedly” signed by 700 Alumni. Not buying that load of crap, either.
