NBC/WSJ Poll: 4 in 10 Americans say they would re-elect Donald J. Trump as President next year

That means there are 60% that currently don't want him... these are bad numbers for him. Let's all hope for no independent spoiler candidate that actually has clout.
I have a bigger refund this year, but that is because I didn't do as much untaxed side jobs last year. Also, I wouldn't let that influence my opinions on how Trump and the GOP are handling the country.
I don't think it's unreasonable to expect Donald Trump to get like 60 million votes in the next election. That's probably the minimum for most any Republican candidate at this juncture. Hillary Clinton received nearly 66 million in the last election and Trump had roughly 63 million for reference.
Just saying, people freaking out over 4 in 10 Americans saying they would vote Trump is a major overreaction, especially given context of why he won last election.
It's a given that Trump will win over 40% of the vote, nothing to fret about.
And 2 of those 10 are completely ignorant and could be swayed to trump by another Buttery Email.
Yeah, and one of those is Pennsylvania. Joe Biden losing Pennsylvania would be like Mitt Romney losing Utah - impossible in any universe.
4 out of 10 is still enough to win with an electoral college.
The fact that 40% of the country wants this guy, literally the most uniquely unqualified person for this job, ain't a great look.
It is, but with some of those key swing states already flipping in 2018 that he would need to accomplish that it's a much bigger uphill battle for him than it was in 2016.
Not everyone polled here is going to vote. Not to mention Schultz running could hand Trump a win.
That includes people who said they'd reelect Trump...and he also could hurt Trump more tnan the Dem... have you not been paying attention or see 2018 results...?
That number is way to fucking high but America is fucking stupid sometimes
Why would we want to suffer another 4 years of this

4 out of 10 Americans need to check the arsenic levels in their local water supply because it is far too high.
It is too high but its been this way since he was elected...it was this high when dems had a wave victory in 2018..
I thought they'd take the house, but wasn't as sure as I am of Trump being re-elected,
Lol. And what has you so sure? That his base is shrinking? That more and more moderates are opposed to him? That the states that gave him the 80k votes to squeek by have flipped to dems? Please do tell what EVIDENCE there is to show he's in a better position today than in 2016.
And it shows that Trump is not going to win the popular vote once again. In most countries, that would be the end of the story. But with the electoral college, he still has a chance. Start with the 2016 map, and give the 2020 D nominee back MI, WI, and PA (plus Maine 2) and they win the election. Lose any of those 3, and Trump is President. They could also win by picking up other states like Florida, but good luck with that state that singlehandedly placed a black mark on an otherwise amazing 2018 election. There could also be dark horse states like TX, AZ, and GA, but you would probably win Florida before you win those. And I think Iowa and Ohio are out, NC is a slight possibility.
I think we need to greet both those results of Socialists being unpopular and that news that 40% would vote to re-elect Trump with the knowledge that in the general election there is always an evening out of the two candidates' poll numbers.
Trump's numbers could easily improve from here once his opposition becomes clear.

If he gets say 42% of the vote then he loses the election by the largest margin since 1984. Shit he can get 45% and he would still lose by 8ish points.
It's absolutely terrible yes but don't let that get in the way of people wanting to freak out.
The real problem is that in future, there will be someone who has all of Trump's shittiness, but non of his stupidity.
In a sense, his complete lack of competence is actually uniting a lot of people against him, but that some of those moderates might side with such a person in future elections.
Only if you assume all 10/10 go to vote anyway.
He didn't have a majority the last time, either.
why are we still making threads about individual polls
at least try to style it up with more than a link and a meme sentence
throw in an actual thought or two and talk about his overall approval rating aggregate and you'd have a perfectly respectable thread

But that isnt fun!! That wouldnt get the 'Dems in dissaray' theme going.
I want him to lose as much as the rest of you.
But you should also prepare yourself for the possibility he wins.
Americans have gone crazy town. Nobody personifies crazy and stupid better than our current president.
It does make we wonder who is going to replace him and what conversations we are going to be having about politics in 4-10 years. The optimist in me is hoping it is more sane and progressive, but the realist in me is definitely afraid. It could also somehow get worse.
