Trump Is Already In A Hole As 53% Of Americans Refuse To Vote For Him In 2020

Donald Trump is already in a world of trouble heading into 2020 as a majority of the American people say that they will “definitely vote against” him in next year’s general election.

According to a new NPR/PBS/Marist poll, just 44 percent of the country said they approve of Trump’s job performance. But the number that should concern the president is 53 – the percentage of voters who say they refuse to cast their ballot for Trump next year.

That number is slightly higher among independent voters with 54 percent of the key voting bloc saying they won’t be voting for Trump in 2020. Overall, just 42 percent of independents believe the president is doing a good job.

The economy won’t help Trump in 2020

While most incumbent presidents would get a boost from the current economy, the polling shows that Donald Trump’s fate seems to be completely detached from the economic conditions that he inherited from Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

voter suppression impacts millions of votes like it did in 2016.

We have 16 months to get folks registered and get them to the polls. This news should be a spur for us to bury this motherfucker with votes.

Every person in NY and California could vote against him and he could still win.

There are a lot of Americans who call themselves "independent" but they vote as a progressive or liberal. In other words, they could be a Democrat that just never bothered to join the party. That's how I was for over 30 years. I finally joined the Democratic Party in 2008 because I wanted to vote for Hillary in the primary.

We still need to reach out to these independent voters and give them a candidate they can get excited about. Our biggest challenge is - not Chump - but indifference.
