The voters who are still backing Trump [Dynamite]
CNN ^ | 7/31/20 | NICK ARAMA

Posted on 07/31/2020 10:15:44 AM PDT by chiller

..."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."

Thx for posting.

Conflate? There’s no conflation.

Conlfate (n.) To recognize an obvious connection despite the media's best efforts to hide it.

This will afford comfort for those of you worried about the election.

I think the "fear" may be due to fraud

"They think a businessman is best suited to turn the country around economically."

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.

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.

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.

Trump has been pretty much true to who he said he would be and what he said he would do.

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.

I'm with you there. His current approach to COVID is giving me daily cranial explosions, but he's the only game in town. Sticking with him come what may.

“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.

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.

Trump is governing the country we thought we had prior to his election.
