President Trump calls them suppression polls, the endless surveys the liberal media puts out there showing how the support for this administration is in the toilet. It’s meant to demoralize his base. It didn’t work in 2016 and it won’t work in 2020. The polls were wrong. Right now, 2020 general election polling is trash. It’s worthless. It’s way too early. Everyone knows that—and even some Democrats would admit that they’re not going to win by a nine-point of double-digit margin next year. If anything, the media just reminds Trump voters that they need to vote next year. In the meantime, the Democratic Party has a three-way race at the top for the 2020 nomination between former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Sen. Bernie Sanders. There are at least a dozen more running and still—anything can happen. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) had a strong showing in the first round of debates. She gained attention, and then some looked at her record. She has dropped 12 points in the latest Democratic candidate polls.
Biden has been bashed; he’s a gaffe machine right now. President Obama’s record was also torched during the second rounds of debates on CNN, which raised eyebrows. Beating up the most popular Democrat in recent memory will get you the nomination? Nope. As the Left continues to slash, punch, stab, and shoot one another in the primaries, the Trump White House has been running what is essentially a general election campaign. The war chests are being stuffed, the RNC is raking in cash, and he’s holding rallies in key swing states. Yes, this is what Obama did in 2012—and Democrats know it. Members of the Democratic National Committee spoke with The Daily Beast who voiced their concerns. Panic could be aptly applied to what they said, especially about how there’s a feeling that Trump is beating them on all fronts. There’s also some frustration about chair Tom Perez continuing to ignore Rust Belt voters. Overall, it’s this fear that the Trump team is already reaching swing voters, while the Democrats are just content with their base (via Daily Beast):
Jim Zogby, who co-chairs the DNC’s ethnic counsel, a group that represents people across different ethnic, racial, national origin, and religious identities, says he has been pushing Perez and other party leaders to expand its outreach to voters in the same areas that Trump successfully captured: Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and—a Democratic sore spot in post-2016 politics—Wisconsin. But that outreach to the committee has fallen on deaf ears. “In Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, if we do events in those states that focuses on everyone else but them, that breeds resentment,” Zogby said. “That’s why [former Vice President Joe] Biden and [Sen.] Bernie [Sanders I-VT] do well, because they talk to those folks.” Zogby was specifically referencing voters from Irish, Italian, Polish, Eastern Central European, Arab, and Armenian-American communities highly concentrated in the Midwest. “I am frustrated beyond belief at the sheer neglect of the constituencies I represent,” he added. Zogby’s chief concern—raised by several other current DNC members who spoke with The Daily Beast—is that the Trump campaign is already reaching swing voters while the Democratic Party is overwhelmingly focused on expanding their existing base. […] "Donald Trump is in general election mode while we’re still in primary mode. We see it in Ohio,” David Pepper, who chairs the state’s Democratic Party said. “He’s absolutely carpet-bombing Ohio online. We’re doing our best to respond.” […] …a DNC official directly familiar with battleground states’ efforts suggested all the messaging hasn’t trickled down to much action on the ground level yet. “There’s some deep concerns brewing under the surface. Nothing that’s spilled into the public yet,” the member said. “Where’s all the support? They keep talking about the calories coming. People generally are feeling Trump is beating us on all fronts right now.” The national party’s fundraising woes continue to present a problem when up against the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign’s significant advantage, multiple members said. “The DNC is cash-strapped right now,” one member said plainly. In June, the Republican National Committee more than doubled the DNC’s fundraising haul, totaling $20.7 million to $8.5 million, respectively.
Now, that’s good news, but Trump and his team cannot let up. Keep doing what you’re doing. Democrats are motivated. They want to boot him from office. Yet, the GOP has an awesome opportunity to define the Democratic Party and their 2020 nominee eons before they can. Given the debates thus far, they’re a party that supports gun confiscation, more taxes, more regulations, taxpayer-funded abortion virtually up until the moment of birth, health care for illegal aliens, open borders, and the destruction of private health insurance; that’s the only way that Medicare for All can work. The issue where they dominated the GOP in terms of trust with voters—health care—could have been a lethal tool in the 2020 messaging wars. Now, that’s dead. It’s a debate about whether to nuke 100+ million employer-based health plans now or later, with the added bonus of instituting the mother of all tax increases for the middle class to help pay for it. Trump has 3+ million jobs, economic growth, bigger paychecks, lower taxes, less regulation, and small business and consumer confidence levels reaching their highest marks in years. It’s not a hard choice next year.
I’m afraid they won’t.
My concern is that the vote fraud is going to do Trump in.
Their internal polling has to be horrendous....as it should be.
They absolutely cannot win on any of the issues....none of em.
All they can do is lie, cheat, steal, violence, fraud....all that good RAT stuff.
That’s all they’ve got...nothing else.
Very slow
> My concern is that the vote fraud is going to do Trump in. <
I agree with you. Trump will not be the favorite in 2020. Ten thousand fake votes here, and ten thousand fake votes there. It will make a difference.
Yup
The lowest in my area of my town is $2.09.9
I was listening to Ben Shapiro on the radio today and he was citing polls shows Trump losing big because of white women being negative towards Trump. Ben likes to take swipes against Trump. On Mark Levine show, Mark was talking with a guy who cited a poll of farmers who responded to a question on if they would vote for Trump. The answer was 67%
The guy on Mark’s show was saying that China officials would meet with US billionaires and discuss Trump and the traitors would help them by having news articles put out that were negative against Trump.
Nothng but wishful thinking by them. BTW the republican approval rating of President Trump is 94 Percent. It can’t go much higher,
“Jim Zogby, who co-chairs the DNC’s ethnic counsel” (council?)
How many whites on the ‘counsel’?
“doubled the DNC’s fundraising haul, totaling $20.7 million to $8.5 million”
soros hasn’t chosen the messiah, yet. Watch the money flow after that.
Good . Hahahahaaaaa .
Here in the middle Ga area it’s 2.21 and falling.
The democrats want to “level the playing field” by making it a criminal offense to criticize them. That could work.
“Guess it’s time for Hillary step in?”
don’t you mean it’s time for hillary to hobble in?
I worry about the massive debt levels daily. Trump never talks about it. He used to mention it during his 2016 campaign. Not any more. I bet he's actively thinking about it. I know Trump wanted to up military spending first, and had to cut a deal with the Rats. He's done that, and now the mounting unfunded liabilities need to be addressed - immediately. The unconstrained borrowing I see is the only reason I keep "prepping" annually, Trump or no Trump... it's extremely worrisome.
MAGA! Go Trump!
The robots are coming! They will service the massive debt, not our children. You should worry though about no jobs left for people.
Did I say we HAD another like Trump stand up to them (the Delusional and Vicious Lying Left)?
No, I said all you NEED is someone like Trump who [will] stand up to them.
What’s astonishing is why can’t we find others who are ready, willing and able to stand up to them.
For the Presidency, this is Trump we're talking about and he will probably turn the ambush on them.
>I’ll believe it when I see it.
I know how you feel.
