Of those 56%, I have no doubt that 80% of them might actually change their minds...
Oh, and also don’t forget that 97.5% of statistics are made up on the spot! heh
You’re wife is kinda being.......silly. Never “went” presidential? The guy is as genuine as it gets. I find that refreshing. I’ve had it up to here with ahole, self important, self centered, elite politicians looking down their noses and wagging their crooked fingers in our faces and telling us how to
live, eat, breathe.
No mas
This.
FR is not a monolith of America.
Trump is not well-liked by a majority of people.
People listen to the media, they don’t care about results.
Trump is not in a good political standing right now. Period.
It’s a bad number, but elections are choices between two candidates, not one named Republican and a generic Democrat.
I think this country has reached the point where there is no President that will have more than a 40 percent approval rating.
I believe the poll for what it is. It is no news that Trump is not widely popular.
But does that mean that they are definitely going to vote FOR a radical like Harris, Sanders, or Warren? I don’t think so.
Unnamed Democrats were destroying Bush in every poll in the 2004 election. But Democrats couldn’t run an unnamed Democrat, and the most “electable” candidate they could come up with was John Kerry. The results were predictable.
They’re going to have the same problem this time. No matter how much they try to pretend otherwise, Kamala Harris is no Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren is a female Howard Dean, and Bernie Sanders is Bernie Sanders.
There’s never going to be a popular President again. We are just simply too divided for that.
WaPo Poll: 56% Say They Definitely Won’t Vote For Trump Next Year

That’s what they said last time. If we could keep illegals from voting and shore up all the chicanery involved in provisional ballots, there’s no way the Left can win.
Agree.
[My wife refuses to vote a second time for him, because she doesnt like the way he never went “Presidential”, that he remained the troll that he is. She doesn’t personally like him. While she remains a conservative and supports conservative policies, she just doesn’t like him.
I have tried my best, but we simply agree to disagree on that one.]
I assume, by a given cutoff date, if his polls tell him he’s got no chance in the general, he’ll bow out in favor of the GOP nominating process, and endorse whomever that nominee is. Because if a Democrat wins the White House, they’ll be coming after him in ways that make Mueller’s inquisition look like a bunch of softball interviews.
Only 50%? Ok...So 50% will vote for Trump...with Coffee Boy running as an independent and Mike might run as an independent, I like the chances. The Socialists will split...
Oops... I thought it said 50%! Still I like our chances...
If their poll can't predict anything two weeks into the future, how am I supposed to believe it's going to predict anything almost two full years into the future (November 2020)?
Not until Supreme Generalissima Aelxandra Ocasio-Cortez is re-elected to her 6th term with 98% of the vote, like Saddam Hussein or Vladimir Putin.
You’re right, of course, though I think unpopular Presidents and polarized electorates are more the rule than the exception if you look at all of American history.
Even “Saint” FDR had a lot of people who hated his guts, even Democrats.
I didn’t vote for Romney, nor McCain, and not Bush #43. I did #41, once, first time out, then dumped him. I’m all Trump, all the time, and should he be forced out, I’m gone (and I bet I’m not alone).
My point being is that even those who dislike Trump, when facing the alternative, will still wind up holding their nose.
Detailed internals are missing. Another thing I wish they would add to poll internals is what part of the country by % are they polling.
