61% Of Pennsylvania Voters Want To Dump Trump For A New President

61% Of Pennsylvania Voters Want To Dump Trump For A New President

Trump needs Pennsylvania to win reelection, but 61% of Keystone State voters want to dump him for someone new.

According to the latest Franklin & Marshall Poll, “Two in five (38%) registered voters believe President Trump has done a good enough job to deserve re-election and most (78%) of these respondents say they will vote for him no matter who runs against him. On the other hand, three in five (61%) voters say it is time for a change and four in five (85%) of these voters say they will vote against the President no matter who runs against him. Taken together, half (51%) of registered voters are firmly supporting a change and a quarter (29%) are firmly supporting no change, leaving another quarter who are still deciding. Not surprisingly, attitudes about re-electing the President are strongly associated with party and political ideology, but the desire for change is also affected by ratings of personal finances even after accounting for political ideology. The effect of personal finances on support for the President is srongest for moderates.”

It also corresponds with the general level of supporters of racism in the country.

For an incumbent presiding over a good economy, with no major unpopular wars, +38% is abysmal.

the "failing-fast" Pittsburgh Post-Gazette had a "click-on" poll earlier this week and more said they would vote for IQ45 than they would for any Democratic nominee. Yikes!!!!

and I understand that those polls that they run don't really reflect reality for the most part, but still...


Then again, there are times that I'm in the dumpers because there's still between 30 and 40 percent of Americans that approve of what he's doing. Is that really the kind of place I want to be living (and even supporting with my taxes!)?

However I'm not so sure if the nominee is a woman. We Pennsylvanians had some female issues in 2016, and it breaks my heart to say that. But it's true. Most of the regular Democrats did pull the lever for Hillary last time. However many independents and occasional voters wouldn't give Hillary their vote, even though they did go for Obama twice. Go figure!

Yes the PA voters have female issues, and I suspect we're not the only state that does. A lot of Chump voters will stay home and not vote, rather than vote for a Dem.
