1. Keep up the pressure-- the election's over a year away and anything can happen.

[JHB]

2. The show ain't over until the fat Russian sings...

...and Trump has a grating singing voice.

[NewJeffCT]

3. Interesting

I'd seen him closer to -10 or -11 in PA before.

But, those numbers are a disaster for Donny Dollhands, if they play out that way. If he loses NH, WI, MI, IA, NV, PA, AZ and OH, he's lost in a landslide.

[smirkymonkey]

4. Keep the pressure on and keep ridiculing him!

He is bound to continue fucking up and freaking out even more over the next 15 months. That can only work in our favor.

[sandensea]

5. They're breakin' away

[OliverQ]

6. Those numbers are still depressing. 40%+ everywhere.

The man shouldn't have more than 10% approval.

[Hortensis]

7. Always my reaction too! This will rebound, but if it

stabilized averaging even only 2% lower, though, that'd be an advance.

My state Georgia's UP 2. Must be flawed data...surely.

[yellowdogintexas]

33. my husband grieves daily about these numbers nt

[flying_wahini]

34. I'm a sceptic. I think somebody crunches those numbers.

They haven’t seemed to move much and that makes me curious. And somebody’s ? DJTjr comment about rounding up tRumps numbers.

[area51]

35. +1

I'm amazed Donnie has even 40% approval ratings anywhere.

[Vinca]

8. You'd think all the noncorporate farmers would be heading for the hills.

China is buying zilch from them. I bet there are a whole lot of bankruptcies in the Midwest before the next election.

[GulfCoast66]

12. I'm in Agriculture. I don't know a single non-corporate farmer

Who makes his or her entire income from Farming.

Not if they are growing commodities.

The days of milking the cows, harvesting the eggs, feeding the pigs and then cultivating the grain has been gone for over 40 years.

Almost every big farm actually farming for their entire income is a corporation. Your crazy not to be. It protects your home and personal assets from creditors. When you hear on NPR about the guy farming 500 acres of beans, corn and maybe wheat in Iowa who is suffering, you are hearing a story about an incorporated farmer, same as the incorporated small business Wal-Mart was driving out of business in the 80’s. And many of them don’t just farm their land but lease more land than they own.

A modern tractor with all the necessary implements will set you back half a million or so. We’re talking industrial scale production. You are not competing with 80 acres. Hell, even 200 acres on the plains.

Farming is and always had been a business.

[SCantiGOP]

17. Chris Hedges showed the breakdown tonight

Top 1% of farms by size, meaning large corporate farms, got an average of $165,000 in Trump’s tariff bailout, while the bottom 50% got less than $5,000. Just another way to redistribute the wealth to those who need it least, but contribute the most to politicians and PACs.

[Vinca]

42. You misunderstood my point, but I didn't state it very well. The person who

responded to you about the subsidies is what I was thinking about. The guy growing beans on 500 acres got $5,000 out of the socialist subsidy while the megafarmers got 6 figures.

[5starlib]

9. Florida is so disappointing

I give up on this state. I'd much rather put effort in NC and GA than Florida. Between Republican domination of their government, voter suppression, and voting shenanigans, we shouldn't put any hope in this state in 2020. I don't care what polls show, it's just too untrustworthy.

[Vogon_Glory]

11. I'm inclined to concurr with you

I don't think it's just the Florida Republican Party machinery and the Republicans' control of the Florida state legislature. The 2016 election saw that wave of gullibles come out of the retirement villages to hand the Sunshine State's electoral votes to Donald Trump. I expect them to do that all over again next year.


Texas might be in play next year, even if the mass shooters behave themselves and the Far Right dials back its Mexican-bashing.

Another incident like El Paso, though, and I suspect that even the relatively passive Latinos of Texas might decide that they've had enough of "Pinchy Cool Arrow" Donald Trump.

[GulfCoast66]

14. Give up on Florida that Obama won twice?

But hold out hope for a state that hasn’t voted Democratic in the presidential election since 76?

You see things differently than I.

[5starlib]

25. Charlie Crist was governor then...a decent man

He even ordered the polls to stay open longer to allow for everyone to vote. There are cretins in charge down there now. It's so funny how polls always show Dems winning, but Republicans always win by the narrowest of margins. Funny how that happens?

[GulfCoast66]

28. Well, Crist might be a good man. But was no good democrat.

What party was he with at the time?

But Obama won in 12 as well.

I’m not saying Florida is a lock by any means. But responding to a post that said Texas gives us a better chance, which I consider just wrong headed.

When was the last time Texas elected a Democrat to state wide office? Ann Richards? We did it last year.

[5starlib]

30. I'm not saying give up on Florida, but assume it'll be Idaho

and plan to win the EC with other states. We can't count on Florida at all. Also, the Latinos there are probably the most Republican leaning in the country which doesn't help. All this talk of socialism won't help with them either.

[dixiegrrrrl]

18. gun stores in el Paso area were swamped after the shooting

Hundreds of people hit the gun stores, citing the fact the killing was in Wal-Mart, targeting Hispanics, so they need to protect themselves on their own now.
Not too sure how a handgun is gonna work on the ak-47 type weapons tho, or how you can draw, aim and fire a handgun at a shooter while people all around you are running to escape....
did I mention knowing how to actually fire a handgun, accurately?

[GulfCoast66]

13. Yeah, give up on a state that Obama won twice.

And who just elected a Democratic Agriculture Commissioner, one of the most powerful elected positions in our state.

And ran a good man and candidate for Governor who made a fatal error.

And he could have won. But during the primary, against a great Candidate Gwen Graham he was worried enough to invite Sanders here for a much publicized rally. And supported Medicare for All. Ironically he would have won the primary regardless.

But for the rest of the campaign had the socialist labeled pinned on him in ads and every opportunity. And he could not deny it. Sanders is a socialist. I live here. I saw it.

And all the BS about the republicans machine. They have run the state since 2000 yet Obama won twice.

Give up on us if you want, but we will help nominate a candidate that can and will win here.

[elleng]

15. Has been for a long time.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

26. NC & GA - very odd.

He is far more popular there than we would expect.

[bearsfootball516]

41. NC is purple. GA is still a red state, although it's starting to move toward purple.

[MyOwnPeace]

10. Yeah, too early, but..........

it can lead to depressing thoughts!

Today, in Pittsburgh, the "loosing-their-mind" Post-Gazette had a reader poll asking "who would you vote for today - IQ45 or the Democrat nominated.

IQ45 was ahead the last I looked.....

[BootinUp]

16. How is it possible that 48% in NC

Approve of this Jack ass?

[mwooldri]

19. NC is a purple state.

And there are plenty of people in NC who will disregard his race baiting and immigrant bashing.

[Takket]

20. only figure that matters is turnout..........

His base is RABID. anyone who supports him will be out in force and those that disapprove are going to be targeted with fake news just like Hillary was to make the Dem look worse. This is how elections are undermined and swayed.

G
O
T
V

or LOSE

[regnaD kciN]

22. Yep...

In all those states, add 5% to Trump's total just for the Russian disinformation campaign sure to come. And probably another 5% (or more) in Republican-governed states for voter-suppression.

We'll need every vote come November. Every. Single. Vote.

[NoMoreRepugs]

31. Was going to bring up the same 10% margin needed to overcome

Rethug chicanery.

[nitpicker]

40. I already pump up the Repug percentage by five points

Because of the usual turnout difference.

So of the listed states, as of this moment:

Forget about NC/GA/FL.

PA/OH/AZ: tossups.

Only MI/WI/IA/NV (and NH) are looking decent right now.

But anything could change by Nov 2020.

[GulfCoast66]

29. They were Rabid in 18 as well. We plowed them.

You are spot on. We vote, we win

[bucolic_frolic]

21. Pennsylvania an incredible disappointment

People here are dumb as rocks

[DFW]

36. The trouble with Pennsylvania is...

Between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh lies Alabama.

[SayItLoud]

23. The shocking take away from these numbers continues to be

the 40%++ that approve of the racist bigot traitor liar.....

[AllyCat]

24. Putin to the rescue!

We have done nothing to secure our elections.

[struggle4progress]

27. Um. Chickens. Hatch first. Then count

I'll look around and count after 3 November 2020

[colsohlibgal]

32. Encouraging

If he loses Michigan, Ohio, And Pennsylvania bye bye Orange Crooked Creep.....and hopefully hello Prison for him.

We are so close to losing our democracy and our way, this election is so critical, do what you have to do to get out and vote, vote early if possible. Let’s humiliate and reject Drumpf and his enablers, including McConnell, let’s take back the Senate.

[DFW]

37. In the Soviet Republican States of America, always remember their great leader

No, not Reagan. Stalin.

« Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything. »

[Turbineguy]

38. After that

he'll spend the rest of his life in court.
