Rough polling stretch has GOP operatives asking: Could Trump drop out? ( BARF ALERT! )
Fox News ^ | By Charlie Gasparino, Andrew O'Reilly, Lydia Moynihan

Some GOP operatives are wondering if the president could drop out of the presidential race if his poll numbers don't improve.

A stretch of lackluster polling for President Trump has some Republican operatives nervous about the president’s reelection prospects in November – with some even floating the possibility for the first time that Trump could drop out if his poll numbers don’t rebound.

“It’s too early, but if the polls continue to worsen, you can see a scenario where he drops out,” one GOP operative who asked to remain anonymous told Fox News.

Trump’s poll numbers in recent weeks have trended downward amid criticism over his administration’s handling of the coronavirus epidemic and the White House response to the protests and riots following the death of George Floyd in late May while in Minneapolis police custody.

A recent Fox News poll had the president trailing Democrat Joe Biden by 12 points, while a RealClearPolitics average of polls had Trump down almost 10 points to the former vice president. Biden also was leading Trump in many key battleground states, and polls from Republican strongholds such as Texas had Trump and Biden neck-and-neck.

Would you support Jeb or Nikki if Trump steps aside and the GOP chooses one of them? Or maybe Pence?

Me, Id vote Third Party

A troll is who floated this, and don’t pay attention to the nonsense. Just like the one that says, “my friends are waiting for leadership...a speech...blah, blah, blah”. Just like clockwork. Expect pearl clutching and couch crashing to exponentially increase here over the next few months.

I do not believe Texas is in danger of going for Biden over Trump.

Be prepared to be bombarded as a Never Trumper if you keep posting that.

I also think it is possible

I think these rumors are real.

Whether they are true is unclear.

Buck up Trump. We need you.

Yes, knives are in his back

F’em.

btw, someone who has followed Pence for his career made a comment about him long ago

I dont remember how it went but the gist of it is....dont mistake him for some mild mannered politician
He is ruthless

I agree that America as founded, and as we have lived it, has no future if Pres Trump should drop out, and he is not going to. He has endured and fought for this Republic in the face of the demonic wrath of his enemies and no reason to not continue the battle. He knew when he took the job of Leader of this Republic just who, and what, he was up against. That is in fact precisely why he did run. He knew it was now or never to stop the tearing up of this Republic by the globalist elites. If America is so far gone that it cannot be saved it will not be any fault of Donald Trump. And if Americans can still vote for the communist democrat party after seeing their future with the rioting and tearing down of American culture, then the coming generations will know who is responsible. If Pres Trump does not win reelection, what follows with the election of the globalist communists is on the American people. We are seeing our future with the communists in control. God bless Pres Trump and continue to give him the strength and wisdom needed for his role in the future of America.

After everything Trump has endured i hardly think an unfavorable poll is going to do him in.

Headline and authors made me raf out roud. Gasparino is a babbling imbecilic never-Trumper. He and Cavuto are fondling each other's nads under the desk when he's one.

Trump would drop out over his dead body.

“He and Cavuto are fondling each other’s nads under the desk”

That’s so funny — and so TRUE! Two little twinks living with the green-eyed monster over Trump’s successes in life.

I like Pence but he’s a wimp, when he was having that press conference and the commie reporter kept on going after him for Trump having rallies, he didnt know what to say, I would have said “Well geez, it was fine when people protested, it was fine when people looted stores, destroyed businesses, and rioted..but I guess its ONLY an issue when its an agenda YOU dont support”

Gasparino should know better...producers insert these garbage articles into your b-roll, which is your cv as a talking head, then at contract time, FoxNews will use them to suppress Gasparino's Q-rating with his target niche, so when he re-ups, they can keep him from asking for more.

"Hey we trace your loss of trust to this June suppression poll that you validated..."

I mean, the guy is a gullible Guido, not in any danger of replacing Hannity, but Fox can f with him not just denying a raise in his per-hour, but cut his car charge renumeration, or even shitcan him for a transqueer friend of Murdoch's, and the dumbass will barely have an idea why or how it happened.

The electoral college won't really elect him
Trump is likely to quit before taking office
Trump is unlikely to stay in for the full four years

The level of mental illness on the left is reaching demonic proportions.

Fox is now full deep state lies 24/7.

They will dump Carlson and Hannity as soon as they have an excuse.
