Over Half Still Say They Are Likely to Vote Against Trump
Rasmussen ^ | Oct 13 2020 | Rasmussen

Posted on 10/13/2020 3:50:03 PM PDT by OttawaFreeper

Slightly more than half of voters still say they are more likely to vote against President Trump, a finding that hasn’t changed in a year of regular surveying.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 46% of Likely U.S. Voters are more likely to vote for Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Fifty-two percent (52%) are more likely not to.

This is not intended to be a Debbie Downer, as the main thing that caught my eye about this was the observation "a finding that hasn’t changed in a year of regular surveying".

In it's own way, is this a gauge on the enthusiasm (or lack thereof) for Biden and Trump's number continues to hold consistently? Any thoughts?

Trump will win. Gallop just posted survey where 56% said they were better off now even after the pandemic than under Obama/Biden.

Is Rasmussen using horribly bad grammar here, or is there more to the story? (rest of article is behind a paywall). What does “more likely” mean here? There has to be something, someone, or a time being compared here, or else that phrase is meaningless. Are they saying that they’re more or less likely to vote for Trump than they were at some past time. If so, when?

Rasmussens poll last week found only 76 percent of Republicans are going to support him despite setting records in voter totals in the primary one of these two things can’t be right cause even Mitt Romney got 85 percent Of the GOP vote they literally believe he will approach GHWB support in the General...we shall see cause if these never trumpers truely burned down their own party for the next ten years

Some of the 52 percent anti Trumpers will vote third party, so this poll is consistent with a 3 point popular vote deficit and an electoral college toss up.

There are those people that refuse to tell pollsters the truth...

Sleepy Joe has no enthusiasm.

Rasmussen was wrong in 2016. They had Hilary ahead by +5

I agree the numbers have not moved much since 2016.

That was the year the pollsters were totally wrong, of course, and there is _no_ evidence they have improved their methodology.

None.

Trump will win re-election, maybe adding a state or two to his 2016 totals.

But—the numbers have not moved much at all—I agree with that.

Good chance of that. They gained experience impersonating human beings and decided to go for broke.

Also, there is some evidence Dems are liars and cheats in every election. Why change now?

PDJT is up by 10-15%. Cannot prove people even really get called on any of these polls. Truly...the treachery they imbibe in, what would keep them from just picking a percentage of anything at the planned date and time they need to use it? Tell me.

“likely to vote against” is not a very committed stance. Who bothers to vote against a candidate, especially when the other choice is Biden? Add the “hasn’t changed in a year” also says they expected a better option, but that didn’t happen (Biden happened).

I just don’t buy it. People who bother to vote believe their candidate is the best person for the job. You don’t waste a vote, even to vote against anyone, unless the other candidate is better.

Over half are going to vote against Trump, but I still
figure he’ll get 60% of the vote.

Good luck with this meme.

The poll does not include the Trump voters who do not talk to pollsters or who lie to them. That was a thing in 2016, and given the possibility of punishment is likely a substantially bigger thing in 2020.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 46% of Likely under sampled Republican U.S. Voters are more likely to vote for Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Fifty-two (52%) percent of over sampled Democrats are more likely not to.

Fixed it.

It comes down to where the votes are cast. The game is to get 270 electoral votes. Nothing else matters in a presidential election no matter what the Dems whine about the “popular” vote.

This whole charade that Biden is trying to run a “safe campaign”, and doesn’t want big crowds, betrays the fact that tens of thousands of Liberals and loads of Liberal politicians were willing to march in BLM protests....We know the Lib Establishment wants to depress the Republican vote....especially the squishy ones who can’t handle Trump’s tweets.... What better way to do that then for tons of people to show up for Biden’s rallies, and send the message that even though they’re worried about COVID, and not so crazy about Joe, they are still fired up to vote for him....but instead, Biden’s campaign is keeping his schedule secret.... They know people won’t show up, so they have to pretend they’re “following science”.... Think about it, though..... they’re lying about the polls to scare Republican voters, but they can’t scare us with big crowds, because this is the most pathetic Dem ticket, preceded by the most pathetic Dem primary season ever....I guess they can’t engage in their usual practice of giving lowlife’s free lunch, cigarettes, and $20 to get on a bus and pad the crowds at a rally, when there’s no crowd to pad!
