..."Not only are they overwhelmingly with Trump at this point, upon reflection, these voters who voted Obama and Trump would now vote for Trump over Obama in a hypothetical match-up, according to Thau."
..."Beyond the numbers, though, it’s critical to understand why so many of them continue to support Trump.
They think a businessman is best suited to turn the country around economically. They feel Covid-19 was not Trump’s fault, and he’s doing the best he can to contain it. They conflate the Black Lives Matter protesters with the rioters attacking federal buildings and retail shops. They don’t want historic monuments torn down. And they dismiss defunding the police as ridiculous."

Great news, although I’m not going to click on CNN to read the entire article.
Thx for posting.
I found it on Redstate, but could not post their take here.
Excellent... thanks for posting this!
Conlfate (n.) To recognize an obvious connection despite the media's best efforts to hide it.
A very salient point that I have been making for several months now. I find this resonates well even with people who are not fond of Trump.
These long business shutdowns combined with the overall FUD of this whole COVID-19 circus, have adversely affected the livelihoods of many, many people. That financial pain has cleared, at least somewhat, the thinking of a lot of folks across the economic and political spectrum.
Still plenty of time to push society to the brink by reducing COVID paycheck payments or stopping them all together.
It’s going to be a wild ride to the first week in November.
Yup.
I monitor bits and pieces from the enemy. I noted Fredo Cuomo comparing yesterdays financial news with Germany’s. US -32% !! Germany -10% ..SO THERE ALL YOU TRUMP FOOLS.
-32% is an annual rate (which never actually materializes, of course) -10 % was Germany’s Q2 , which would similarly translate into -%40 annual loss.
Fkn liars.
Dang, these people sound like Americans.
Love him or hate him, Trump is our firewall. I, and probably many others, can get past the cringe-worthy stuff for that reason alone.
Come nightfall, the “Peaceful Protesters” morph into either actual rioters or the rioters’ enablers who provide essential cover for the rioters. She who covers for a Molotov cocktail thrower is as guilty of arson as the thrower himself.
I have been alive and been following presidents since Eisenhower and President Trump is the first president in my lifetime that kept his campaign promises.
He is also the only president that has had to fight an opposition party, an opposing press and even traitors to his own party to do it.
Think how magnificent this country would be now if he actually had support from those sectors.
“What are they worried about?”
Trump’s voters are more committed and determined than in 2016.
There’s more of them too. And he hasn’t lost anyone.
The released media polls were DESIGNED to show the results you saw. It’s an attempt to suppress the Trump vote through shame, intimidation and depression.
After 5 years of withering fire, the Trump voter is more determined than ever.
It causes the entire world to wonder “how can this be?”.
And it scares the hell out of them.
Is there a Youtube? Don’t want to give them clicks.
With all the slanted and even fake polls out there that show Biden winning, this focus group study provides far more accurate information than any poll that shows Biden with a lead.
Better yet, any one of us can conduct our own personal focus group poll to accurately predict how the dozen or so folks in the our focus group will vote.
Re conflation... you beat me to it.
Trump is governing the country we thought we had prior to his election.
