Trump ‘coming back’: up with independents, losing suburbs
Wash Examiner ^ | Oct 13 2020 | Paul Bedard

President Trump continues to close the election gap with Democrat Joe Biden, gaining with independents and voters under 50.

In the latest Zogby Poll, Biden leads Trump 45.5%-43.4% among likely voters.

Pollster Jonathan Zogby said his survey is different from some others because it also included third party candidates who typically win 5% or more of the vote and in this case Libertarian Jo Jorgensen has 5% and Green candidate Howie Hawkins 2%.

“The race is close and is a far better representation when you include third parties,” said Zogby, who heads Zogby Analytics.

Even if he was, most suburbs are in CA, NY, and IL. They would be offset by the heartland.

Yes, he is losing the suburbs. Those of us who live in the white privileged burbs want antifa and blm to come out here and burn and loot our homes and businesses.

Peace and tranquility is so yesterday.

It’s conceivable that Trump will lose every suburb surrounding D.C.

Yeah, all those riots where they burned down cities, terrorized citizens and threatened to take it to the suburbs are scaring those independents right into the arms of the Democrats.

Last Zogby poll was also Biden +2.

Libertarian vote at 7% in swing states? If you’re a true libertarian you should walk on broken glass to keep Democrats put of power.

Biden +20 with seniors. I guess they are more afraid of COVID than riots.

Right! He’s losing suburbs all right but in places (deep blue states) that don’t matter as far as the electoral college goes

I've seen this. Go to a retirement or early retirement site. Dear Lord, they're scared to live outside the house, and while most of those sites supposedly limit or discourage political talk, there is an underlying political slant to the left these days. I can't stay on the forums very long.

“ If you’re a true libertarian you should walk on broken glass to keep Democrats put of power.”

No, true libertarians live inside their heads, constructing fantasylands. They aren’t interested in the real world.

Non major parties traditionally do better in polls than actual votes.

Third party voters are less motivated to show up to vote, and then when they get to vote it is easier to just vote along major party lines than to split the ticket.

How many electoral votes will the Liberaltarian and/or Green Nut parties take, hmmm? Approximately ZERO, Zogby. We don’t decide Presidential elections on percentages.
