Pollsters: Trump expanding base with 'economically vulnerable' voters, impeachment critics
Washington Examiner ^ | November 04, 2019 09:22 AM | Paul Bedard

Impeachment is a virtual lock. His approval ratings are stuck in the mid-40s. And 2016 popular vote winner Hillary Rodham Clinton is toying with a repeat run for president.

So why is President Trump and the Trump-Pence campaign feeling confident of a 2020 reelection?

Because, according to pollsters, insiders, and election experts, Trump is expanding his base of Republican and conservative supporters to include more independents and minorities and attracting voters who are angry at Washington but who skipped the 2016 election.

“Everybody is doing incredibly well. The poll numbers are looking great, and the economy is doing wonderfully, and we’re executing our agenda successfully to bring the change that people voted for, and we are supremely confident,” said senior White House policy adviser Stephen Miller.

At a time when the conventional wisdom in Washington, especially among Democrats, is that Trump is headed toward an easy and well-earned defeat in 2020, a collection of polls and contrarian views from critics who took Trump seriously early in the 2016 election suggest that he is in a good position.

Zogby Analytics pollster Jonathan Zogby told us that Trump is making solid inroads with new voters who feel good about the economy, including those in urban areas and the poor, traditionally part of the Democratic base.

“An interesting area where Trump has caught steam is among economically vulnerable groups. We categorize these groups as: lost a job, at a job that pays less, afraid of losing a job, and gone without food for 24 hours,” said Zogby.

What’s more, his polling has found weak enthusiasm for the 2020 Democratic candidates, and that could open the door for Trump to woo minorities.

Democrats have no agenda except socialism, open borders and bottomless hate for our President.

This is what they want to sell the country. And in spite of everything they’re doing, he’s still in the game.

And in all likelihood, Trump will be re-elected next year.

Indeed. The Trump campaign has been polling the attendees at his rally’s and they are reporting very impressive numbers of democrat, black, latino, women, independents and people who haven’t voted in years (including 2016) in attendance.

All positive signs for our president.

I have no doubt that Americans are very unhappy with the D.C. political class attentive not to veto our vote. What sane person wants to be ruled by faceless bureaucrats that they cannot fire at the ballot box?

In fact, I believe that federal laws limiting the ability of the Executive to fire members of his administration disenfranchises my vote. I voted for President Trump but unconstitutional laws passed by Congress allow the bureaucracy to defy the legitimate exercise of executive power.

His approval number is 50 from Rasmussen. I am growing tired of those accepting fake news/polls.

So am I. Saw an article that showed Reagan was losing 54% to 44% against Mondale. Polls are BS right now!

Here you go:

Parscale is the Director of Digital or similar for Trump. He's a genius, and if you haven't seen his Frontline interview, it's great, well worth the time.

It looks like a bad tooth :)

It also looks correct.

Rasmussen has him at 50 and i’m surprised it’s that low.

I still think 5 to 10 percent don’t want to say they’ll vote for him.

Like 2016, we’ll know the winner by the size of the rallies. In 2016, Mrs Clinton couldn’t draw anyone but her staff and the lickspittle state media while the President had people standing in line for hours in freezing Minnesota

Partner, I could not have said it any better. Great job!

A lot of Freepers have said they are beyond P.O.'ed and so are we.

This should translate to a lot of votes for the Republicans since a lot of D's will vote for President Trump since he is doing such a great job for all Americans.

Hillary Clinton is behind all of these pranks right now with help from the Swamp in D.C. Hillary does not even realize what a Big Joke she is on all Americans.

In other words, the same people who elected him.

Wow. If there was 20% black people at the rally I am really encouraged. Really? 1 out of 5 persons attending were black? If true, Trump is going to win easily. Turn out the lights the parties over. It also means Black Americans are selecting a road less traveled that hopefully will result someday in true equality instead of the victimhood only offered by the Democrats.

One of the dirty little secrets about 2016 was that Skunk Cabbage was RADIOACTIVE in much of the Midwest, which is why she never went to Wisconsin. She didn’t skip it due to overconfidence (they had, by far, the best pollsters in the country), but rather because her campaign thought she’d do better if she kept low, while blasting Trump non-stop through commercials on TV and radio. It did get her close though!

I didn't think mental illness was so contagious either but the insanity of leftism spreads nonetheless. Small weak minds are easily manipulated I guess.
