Trump is out polled head to head, anywhere from 1% to 10%, by each of the top five democrats according to a recent Fox News Poll.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-democrats-want-a-steady-leader-biden-leads-trump-by-10-points
A wide margin, 60% - 35%, of voters believe a politician with low ethical standards cannot be a good leader. The good news for Trump is, by 55% - 40% margin, voters believe its more important to share views on issues than to be highly ethical. Further, more voters would be enthusiastic and fewer would be scared, if Trump were reelected than in 2016.
What does this say about our culture and our society???
Says our society is still highly influenced by constant exposure to propaganda.
Yep - the constant 24/7 MSM inundation of negativity, lies and half truths about Trump will at a minimum have an impact. I still think in the end enough voters will vote with their pocket books (as has always been historically the case) and re-elect the President, but the constant and unrelenting application of the "big lie strategy" by the MSM will likely keep it from being the no brainer slam dunk that it otherwise would be.
I no longer believe that a strong economy will get Trump re elected .
The media will destroy him .
The same media that went all-out to keep him from winning in 2016?
The same media that tried to make his SCOTUS nominees look like Nazis?
One thing you should understand about polls, is when and how they work. Polls taken in the last weeks of a general election are very different from polls taken during primaries, and polls taken more than a year from the election are taken for very different reasons than the others.
The media -
all media - exist to create attention to their stories. And people answering polls in June 2019 should not be understood to think the same way people will in October 2020.
I'm old enough to remember how the media went after Reagan. I have read enough to know how they went after Goldwater in 1964. I know that the Washington Post has
never endorsed a Republican for President, and the New York Times last did it for Eisenhower (
yes, the WaPo wouldn't even support Ike!).
This is not new at all, it's just a new flavor and it will succeed only so far as Americans allow it to go. The thing about Trump that people miss, is that while some will desert him because of the media war since 2016, others will be on board because he surprised them by keeping his promises after getting elected.
Read through those polls, and notice that none of them ask if the respondents are happy with the Supreme Court picks, or feel good about their job situations. There are no questions asking if they like the change in tax structure.
The questions asked are the things liberals care about, like abortion rights and whether Trump can be trusted. Those kinds of questions won't be liked in places like Nebraska or West Virginia, meaning the results will be skewed by the wording chosen.
These are not polls designed to check the real mood of voters. It's advertising, nothing better.
