Donald Trump is facing the prospect of a landslide loss
CNN ^ | June 25,2020 | Chris Cillizza

(CNN)A half dozen new swing-state polls released Thursday morning suggest that not only would President Donald Trump lose if the election were held today, he would lose in a landslide.

The surveys, conducted by The New York Times and Siena College, show Trump trailing former Vice President Joe Biden by double digits in Michigan (Biden +11), Wisconsin (Biden +11) and Pennsylvania (Biden+ 10) and by mid-single digits in North Carolina (Biden +9), Arizona (Biden +7) and Florida (Biden +6).

Trump won every one of those states in the 2016 election. Switch them from red to blue and you can quickly see just how bad hings look for Trump at the moment.

And, thanks to CNN's handy dandy "Road to 270" interactive electoral maps, we can do just that! Give Biden those six states -- Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona and Florida -- and keep the rest of the 2020 map just as it was in 2016, and the Democratic nominee has 333 electoral votes to just 205 for Trump. That would be a larger Electoral College margin than President Barack Obama won with in his 2012 reelection.

But even that doesn't capture how dark things could get for Trump. Consider: * A Quinnipiac University poll in Ohio released Wednesday showed Biden at 46% to Trump's 45%. (A Fox News poll released in early June showed Biden at 47% to Trump's 45%). If Ohio went to Biden, he would be at 351 electoral votes. * A Des Moines Register poll earlier this month put Trump at 44% and Biden at 43% in Iowa. Give Biden Iowa and he's at 357 electoral votes.

Exactly. But that’s how “independents” roll. They go with whatever is the flavor of the day.

I have more respect for liberals, who at least stand for their principles, than weak, spineless “Independents”

Sorry, Trump will win in a landslide. In Georga’s primary, Trump decimated past Republican president’s numbers. Trump just had a 20 million viewing of his Tulsa, OK rally.

We’re winning special elections since 2019. People are sick of the party that encourages criminality and anarchy. Where was Biden while all these riots and anarchy occurred? That’s right playing with his toes in the basement.

My first thought exactly.

Furthermore, anyone who prognosticates "landslide" elections in this day and age is a complete idiot. Landslides like Reagan vs. Mondale 1984 were possible because back then self-identified Democrats were willing to consider Republican candidates (and vice-versa), whereas that's now only true for a tiny fraction of the population. We know for a fact that about 20 states are guaranteed to go to Trump and another 20 are guaranteed to go to Biden, so there can be no "landslide." This election, like most, will be decided by close margins in a handful of states.

What is President Hillary’s comment on this poll? If my memory serves me correct she is not president and Trump is.

This the same crap polling as in the past to try and shift the election.

Black Lives Matter is a far left wing organization that has hundred of millions in donations. They are actually Marxists. Vast amounts of their donations go to the DNC candidates. Not one candidate in the democrat party has denounced their violence.

Thus Black Lives Matter and the DNC are one and the same. It is that simple.
