Months before election, Trump finds himself at odds with most Americans' views

WASHINGTON - The temporary fences that separated protesters from the White House have come down. But its occupant, President Donald Trump, appears to be more isolated than ever.

Recent opinion surveys, including a poll from Reuters/Ipsos this week, continue to show Trump trailing Democratic challenger Joe Biden significantly with just over four months until the Nov. 3 election.

But more revealingly, they show a president increasingly disconnected from the American electorate whose views have changed rapidly following the May 25 death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, while in Minneapolis police custody.

The lightning-quick shift in public opinion has caused the National Football League and NASCAR to embrace athletes protesting racial injustice, and some companies to rename brands criticized for racial stereotypes, such as PepsiCo Inc’s Aunt Jemima pancake mix and syrup.

Trump takes the less-popular side of issues that Americans right now say matter, such as the coronavirus pandemic and police reform, according to an analysis of Reuters/Ipsos polling data since March.

It also shows him steadily bleeding support among a broad swath of voters, even ones that have been most loyal to him such as rural Americans and white evangelicals.

Biden now has a 13-point lead over Trump, the biggest recorded by the Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Viewpoints on anything important do not change rapidly.

Is this the same guy that will have a massive rally on the 20th?

Here is how I see the inner sanctum at Rueters.

The boss hands this note to the writers: “Trump finds himself at odds with most Americans’ views”

Then the boss says: “Ok, guys, I want to see 500 words within two hours on this topic.”

Did Reuters see Biden giving a “speech” yesterday? Even though he was obviously reading off the screens, he was halting, difficult to follow, his voice so low you could barely hear him and at the end stared straight ahead like he was lost - and wouldn’t take questions — this was in all of about 60 seconds. Even “Candy” Crowley can’t save this act.

...they will say it is fake and they will question the results.

That's the plan for both sides.

Really?! Are the “walls closing in”? Is this “the beginning of the end” for Trump?

Journalism, or what passes for it these days, is pathetic.

Yeah. Let’s ask President Hillary Clinton what she thinks about Biden’s “triumphant” polling.

I believe he won the last election by 15% not the numbers they gave us.

The liberals did all the vote fraud they could, and he still topped it.

THEY WILL GO ALL OUT this election, unless we get a handle on it

I suggest Trump call for a MANDATORY MINIMUM 10 YEARS jail time for any government fraud (including vote fraud)

Just the idea (even if it doesn’t pass in time) will scare SOME of them.
