XCR1250 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Politics Americans Increasingly Predicting Trump 2020 Victory: CNN Poll Andy McDonald , HuffPost•October 14, 2018 The percentage of Americans who believe President Donald Trumpwill win a second term is increasing, a new CNN poll finds. Forty-six percent of those polled think Trump will defeat his Democratic opponent in 2020, as opposed to 47 percent who think he will lose. The poll comes with a 3.8 percent margin of error, so essentially it’s a draw. However, the surprising takeaway seems to be that the public thinks Trump’s odds are improving. In March, 54 percent of Americans believed the president would lose in 2020. Of course, as CNN’s report notes, these predictions have proved wrong in the past. Polls from 1995 and 2010 showed a majority of Americans predicting presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton would lose re-election. Regardless, the uptick in people foreseeing a Trump win may be related to how Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents feel about the party’s potential 2020 candidates. The field is large and support is currently scattered. The poll shows former Vice President Joe Biden leading the pack at 33 percent, followed by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont with 13 percent, and Sen. Kamala Harris of California at 9 percent.

And as CNN’s Ryan Struyk points out, the Republican field in November 2014 ― two years before then-candidate Trump defeated Hillary Clinton ― looked vastly different than what the GOP ended up with. In 2014, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney led with 20 percent support, followed by Ben Carson with 10 percent and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 9 percent.

Sal Rosenberg Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Trump’s own party continues to support him by a vast majority, the poll shows, with 74 percent wanting to see him in office for a second term That number is way to high and a problem for me . I'd like to see it at maybe 25% because 75 % of that party is a huge piece of dogshit too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have anyone and whoever it is they will run a campaign on 100% mudslinging. Trump gives them plenty of ammo buy it will be a disgrace. A far left party will emerge and probably take the Dems out. We are fucked either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Trump will be and should be looked back on as someone who is doing this country a great service by making the masses suspicious of our democratic process and those we elect. He is throwing the stick in the spokes of government. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And once he is done they are going to take measures to make sure nobody like him gets to that level ever again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny part is the actions of the political class over the last few decades is what led to a guy like Trump. The voters had plenty of opportunities to vote establishment candidates and chose not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I still have a hard time believing he'll run instead of endorsing somebody. I'm hoping for a better candidate from both sides. However, if this current political/social climate still exists by then, well then....he's needed for another four. Some people are hard of learning. They seem to be the "intellectually elite" in a strange twist of irony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had what 12 establishment Republicans and the most entrenched Democrat they could muster and the votes on both sides went to out of the mainstream canidates. Career politicians should take the lessons of the 2016 elections as a warning but they won't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
