That is the current trend. We shall see where we land in November
The truth is that Trump is as far behind Biden as he was in 2020. He's at least 4 points behind. But the media and polls want to make this seem like a close race, so they use biased polling models that lean right and show a closer race, maybe even one leaning right for Trump. But both candidates have about the same percentage of their respective party base, so they are neck and neck there. But the reality is that the independent vote leaned slightly left before the Trump judgement in NY and is now leaning even more left after the judgement in NY. And after the debate, when Trump's dementia devolves into more shark, battery and boat stories, the independent vote will lean more left. Trump needs some major media swing by September to stop the slow and steady attrition of his non-base support. Because right now, he's in a slow and steady nickel and diming of the middle 40% of the electorate.
Both of you are clueless.
Trump overperformed 2020 polling. Substantially. Just look at 2020 polls and the final outcomes. RCP has them. The polls were definitely within margin of error for the 2022 midterms. The Ds won almost all the close elections but those were tiny wins. Just look at the polls!
And the last post is either someone trolling or someone delusional.
No, I'm not trolling or delusional. I have just paid attention to the two elections post RvW. In 2022 and 2023, anytime abortion rights have been on the ballot, an unprecedented number of 18-34 year old and suburban women have come out to vote and have voted between 65-85% in favor of abortion rights. And these are people that normally don't vote, so this is not swaying undecided voters to vote a particular way. These are people who normally do not vote or register to vote and have decided based on the issue that is very relevant to their lives, to come out, register and vote to protect abortion rights and the right for people who are of childbearing age to have a right to make their own medical decisions. In Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas and Virginia, these people came out to protect abortion rights. Now, the abortion issue will be on the national agenda, because Biden is pointing out that Trump and the MAGA republicans are going to try for a nationwide ban on abortion rights and once again, these demographics, who are not yet accounted for, will be coming out largely in favor of Biden and the Democrats.
And take note that those who are 26 now, were not legal to vote in the 2016 election. Those that are 22 were not legal to vote in 2020. So, there are many 18-34 year olds who never had the change to vote against Trump and who are going to be very affected by the overturning of RvW that will now be able to vote to protect their rights. And they will come out in record numbers to protect their self-interests.
Trump got many of the conservative fringe like the Oathbreakers, Proud Boys and other militant groups, plus the white supremacists and neo-nazis to come out in 2020 and that was how he got his record number of voters. But there are not that many new ultra-conservative finger types this time around that haven't already been accounted for. Trump is not going to get more popular, only less so between now and November.
