President Trump's support has eroded among key groups of voters who backed him in 2016 — a major reason why he continues to trail former Vice President Joe Biden and a prime motivator for the president's reelection strategy of emphasizing violent disorder in the nation's cities.

Trump's decline among parts of his 2016 base is a chief finding so far from the USC Dornsife Daybreak Poll, which tracked voter preferences daily four years ago and is doing so again this year. Overall, Trump has lost support from about 9% of voters who backed him in 2016, the poll finds.

The poll shows no major shift in the race during the last two weeks, belying much speculation that the back-to-back national political conventions and violence in Portland, Ore., and Kenosha, Wis., might have changed what has been an unusually stable contest.

1. Turnout is EVERYTHING. The polls weren't wrong in 2016, it was the shitty turnout.

I hope this American Carnage is enough to get them off their asses this time. We'll see.

3. I maintain that they stole it

and I know history will absolve me

4. I know they stole Michigan. I will go to my grave believing it.

That thing was up by 13.7K votes when the recount started and the MAGAt AG filed suit to stop the recount when the margin was reduced to 10.7K. Then there was the little matter of the republican Secretary of State throwing almost 187K voters off the rolls in Detriot prior to the election under shady circumstances. That's a huge reason we now have a Democratic Attorney General, Secretary of State, Governor, & Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court and why we changed Michigan's Constitution to allow for easier voting. We saw the shit they pulled in 2016.

5. I know it too

It was literal hacking of machines
Just within the margins of credulity so people were like “wow that was just barely the votes he needed to edge Clinton!”

Yeah. Funny how it was just enough.

I think the security officials know it too but don’t want to tell the public.

6. which is one of the reasons why they don't want mail in ballots

You can hack machines

8. Yes. Exactly.

Paper ballots leave paper trails.

Computerized machines are easy to fuck with.

7. It was Comey and the polls actually did show her support going down after that

2. Trump "won" the electoral college by razor thin margins in 3 states...

Depending on location, of course, a 9% slip is devastating to Trump.

Definitely need to continue GOTV efforts in key states and nationwide.

Have to fight voter suppression efforts everywhere.
