Trump wins generic vote big, 30% Democrats back him
Washington Examiner ^ | October 10, 2023 04:30 PM | Paul Bedard

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign juggernaut is roaring through the country with such force that now, he is winning the general election generic vote with 53% support from likely 2024 voters.

Coming on the same day that a Morning Consult survey had him leading the GOP race with a high of 61%, a Rasmussen Reports survey said that more than a majority of voters plan to vote for him.

THIRD-PARTY CANDIDATES WHO HAVE DERAILED PAST PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS

And that includes Democrats.

Asked, “How likely are you to vote for former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election?” 30% of Democrats said “very” or “somewhat likely.” Some 50% of black people agreed, as did 80% of Republicans.

What’s more, voters appear so focused on Trump that they don’t care who he picks as vice president.

Likely voters overwhelmingly said that his choice for a running mate wouldn’t matter. Asked, “Would the choice of a vice-presidential candidate not make much difference in whether you vote for Trump?” 57% agreed. The rest were divided over his pick of a woman, a black person, or a nonpolitician.

The results showing Trump’s support appeared to surprise the analysts at Rasmussen, which has had the race close for months, unlike others such as the Washington Post showing a Trump blowout of President Joe Biden.

THIRD-PARTY CANDIDATES WHO HAVE DERAILED PAST PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS

“Eighty percent of Republicans are likely to vote for Trump in 2024, including 64% who are ‘Very Likely’ to vote for him. Perhaps surprisingly, however, 30% of Democrats also say they’re at least somewhat likely to vote for Trump in next year’s presidential election. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 50% are at least somewhat likely to vote for Trump in 2024, including 32% who say it’s ‘Very Likely’ they’ll vote for the former president next year,” Rasmussen said.

The polling outfit added, “Majorities of every racial category — 53% of whites, 50% of black voters and 52% of other minorities — say they’re at least somewhat likely to vote for Trump in 2024. Twenty-five percent of black Trump voters say they would be more likely to vote for him if he picked a black running mate.”

If that holds up, it might be beyond the margin of Democrat ballot harvest dumps.

Hey, remember back in the good `ol days?

That kind of a pick would be based on the VP candidate having the obscure talent known as "good-at-the-job?"

Ahh, good times...

LOL!

All these polls that FReepers love quoting that show Trump beating Biden in a Reagan/Mondale landslide are gonna look a helluva lot different after Trump secures the GOP nomination.

Maybe, probably not.

However, aren't you glad there is no chance in Hell of DeSanctimonious ever being the GOP Nominee??

If he were by some demented twist of fate to become the GOP Nominee, he would get beat worse than Mondale with Reagan, it would be a Democrat 50 state Blow-out!

Thank God that will never be the case!!!

Hard to say.

Unlike Trump, DeSantis has never lost an election.

Disagree. Many traditional GOP states would vote for DeSantis. You really think they would vote for Joe Biden, because of not liking DeSantis?????

I’m guessing people are so fed up, that all the name calling by the Republicans are not going to intimidate Trump supporting voters.

Thanks to President Trump, DeSantis has never lost an election.

And DeSantis returned the favor, endorsing Trump wholeheartedly in 2020. Trump would go on to win Florida by an even bigger margin than he won it in 2016.

And then a week before DeSantis' crucial re-election, Trump tossed the name "DeSanctimonious" out to the crowd. What a standup guy.

The DeSanctimonius nickname followed the DeSantis Campaign releasing this ad.

Watch it and see if Trump is out of line.

Thats 13 months of baking in the fraud and planning for late night ballot arrivals.
