President Trump trails potential Democratic challengers in 2020 test
Washington Post ^ | Septembert 11, 2019 | Dan Balz and Emily Guskin

President Trump overcame formidable odds and discouraging poll numbers to win the White House in 2016. More than a year out from the 2020 election, it appears he might have to repeat that performance to win a second term, according to a Washington Post-ABC News survey.

The new poll tested Trump against five potential general election challengers, and in four of those cases, the president trails, significantly or modestly. He does worst against former vice president Joe Biden, but also runs well behind Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and slightly behind Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.). Against South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Trump is numerically behind but the gap is within the range of sampling error.

Polls lie about Trump, here’s how:

1) a poll of “registered voters” – not likely voters, reduces Trump’s numbers by 5%

2) a lopsided weighting in favor of the Democrats reduces Trump’s numbers by 9%

Wishful thinking from the Media Universe - that universe where Hillary won and we’re all now disarmed slaves subsuming our hopes and ambitions to fulfill the much superior goals of our betters like the little bartender girl from Westchester, the angry old communist from Vermont, the buttplug model from Indiana, the whore from kalifornistan, etc.

In 2020, just like 2016, the votes only count in WI, IA, MN, PA, NH, MI, AZ, NV and NC.

The left just keeps using the same strategy over and over and over. BS propaganda. That's all this is.


Ignore opinion polls.

Most important, these are never “battleground” polls.

When you look at likely voters in battlegrounds, Trump has already 306 and likely will also carry NH and MN this time, with a good chance of taking NV.

“And Hillary was going to win in a landslide.”

Apparently you do not remember recent history, as Hitllery did win in a landslide. It’s just that those pesky Russians, working in collusion with Trump, skewed the voting. /s/
