Pollster Rich Baris: Why Trump Is Stronger Today Than He's Ever Been

"Is it true that Donald Trump is stronger today than he was in 2020?" Kirk asked.

"Yes," Baris said. "It's also fair to say that he is stronger now than he was in 2016 when he won. We got this new poll coming out and I've been trying to beat this like a dead horse... It's just not 2020. It's not 2016. They are just totally different races and he's doing so much better with e-groups, which we can get into than he was in either '16 or '20. I'm not a lawyer but as a pollster and it is just very clear why they trying to do what they are doing to him."

BARIS: They can't beat him. When we look back at 2020 and I know a lot of people especially Trump supporters think that he won in 2020 and that's fine. And you know how I feel about that personally as well. But the truth is he still could have done better with certain groups that would have made it even more difficult for them to pull something like that off.

Look at new voters for instance. Biden won that by 30 points in 2020 and in September of 2021, that turned into a Trump +2. Now in this poll, it is going to be roughly Trump +8. Massive shifts, new generation Xers and millennials that are men that are working that are coming into the fold. Non-whites that are coming into the fold. And underclass voters. It's a total disaster for the Democrats. A total disaster. And we do poll other candidates and I have to make this clear, it is only Donald Trump.

Trump is so far ahead of others, I am surprised anyone wants to waste their time in primaries.

I hate corrupt people far more than stupid people.

The far left love corruption.

They want to destroy the system.

They claim it is all corrupt anyway, so much better for them to be the beneficiaries of corruption.

They actually want to reduce us to a totalitarian state, figuring, somehow, they will be in charge.

But mostly, they are just Nihilists, wanting the authority and power to destroy.

It is much, much easier to destroy than to build.

They aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive.

I mean, you could plausibly argue the corrupt ones that get caught also are stupid.
