"Trump gets just 41 or 42% in head to head match ups against 7 likely Democratic candidates for President."

"He trails Joe Biden 53-41, Bernie Sanders 51-41, Kamala Harris 48-41, Beto O’Rourke 47-41, Elizabeth Warren 48-42, and Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand each 47-42."

PPP polls. (Full results here.)

Also in the poll: 45% think "members of Donald Trump’s campaign team worked in association with Russia to help Trump win the election for President." 43% say no. And 45% "think that Donald Trump has committed any crimes since he began running for President." 41% say no.

There's also a series of "Who do you trust more: X or Donald Trump?" where X is an MSM outlet. Trump loses every matchup, even against Fox News.

alanc709 said...

Polling is dead, in my mind. I get constant calls from polling firms, because I still have a landline. I refuse to participate. If I'm not an outlier, it must be extremely hard to get more conservative viewers in a poll to respond, which leaves the poll hopelessly skewed.

I haven't seen the polls, and I don't need to see them. Any polls reported in the media are propaganda, nothing more. Maybe--MAYBE--the polls the politicians commission for their own internal use have more validity (though I doubt it), but the polls published for the public to see? Battle space prep and propaganda, nothing more.

So I don't believe a fucking word. I know who I trust and who I don't, and these polls have it exactly backwards.

LMAO. 50% of the public couldn't identify any of those people by name, much less by photograph, except for Joe Biden and probably Bernie Sanders, and even Biden would be unidentified by a quarter or more despite being VP for 8 years. Hell, 50% of the population couldn't identify Mike Pence right now by name or picture.

Polls like this are worthless because you are asking people to choose between an incumbent and someone the pollee has no current or even old information on.

LYNNDH said...

I don't believe the polls either. It is amazing that Trump polls in the 40's considering all the flak sent his way.
Having said that, I don't think he will win either. I hope I am wrong. My wife reminds me I didn't think Trump would win in '16.
The idea of a President Harris is truly frightening. I have a new governor that is very far left and a statehouse that is all controlled by the Dems. Shit city.

rcocean said...

Several points:

1) Trump lost by x million of votes in California - and he'll lose California by X million of votes in 2020. but it doesn't matter whether he loses the state by 1 vote or 5 million.

2) The same if true of Hawaii, NY, New England, and almost every "Blue State". No Republican is going to win them - ever. Unless the R's nominate Kamala Harris.

3) All that matters is how Trump is doing in the swing states. Frankly, I'm not optimistic. The D's are willing cheat, and the MSM is willing to Lie.

4) But then I thought Trump would lose big-time in 2016.

Bay Area Guy said...

The polls are weak, Dems will lap it up.

It's good to look at the Electoral Map. Ohio is back to solid red; Florida is marginally red.

That gives Trump 260 Electoral votes - needs 10 more to win.

Penn, Mich, Wisc or Minn -- Trump wins one of these, he wins in 2020.

Original Mike said...

"45% think "members of Donald Trump’s campaign team worked in association with Russia to help Trump win the election for President.""

So I guess 45% know what Mueller knows. Or something.

bagoh20 said...

A lot of people were favored over Trump until he got to work on them. The question is: will he run out of names for them all as each one steps into the ring.

All things considered, Trump performs remarkably well in a Democrat-oriented poll.

I'm Full of Soup said...

I'm with Rcocean especially on cheating etc,

PA's far left liberal Dem governor has proposed same day voter registration, mail in voting , early voting., etc and I suspect the Repub legislature will cave in on these things like all good RINO's tend to do.

The Philadelphia area alone probably has 40-50,000 out of state college students and many will be eager to "stretch" their interpretation of voter laws to justify their voting in PA election and who do you think they will vote for?

Chuck said...

So while Drago continues with his obsession with trying to paint me as a Democratic operative, I will happily point out to the few remaining non-psychopathic Althouse readers that Public Policy Polling out of North Carolina is a noted contractor for Democrats across the country. So take with the appropriate grain of salt.

I have dealt with PPP before - adversarially - and they sometimes do polling like this without a retainer; that is, it may not have been a WaPo or an MSNBC or a DCCC that paid for it. PPP does them for fun, and to promote PPP. They get massive attention, when a hundred or a thousand Althouses all link to it.

mockturtle said...

rcocean said...

Since 1932, a majority of the USA voters have been morons, who despartely want to vote the D's as President. They voted for FDR. They Voted for Truman. Then:

1952: D's get us in Korean War - Ike elected
1960: Thank God we got a D back as President
1964: Woo Hoo All the way with LBJ!
1968: Vietnam war, riots, inflation - guess I'll vote for Nixon
1976: Thank God we got a D back as President.
1980: Recession. Interest Rate in double digits. Iran hostages. Guess I'll vote for Reagan.
1992: Thank God we got a D back as President!
2000: Gore is an awful candidate. Guess I'll vote for Bush
2008: Thank God we got a D back as President!
2016: Hilllary is so bad - Guess I'll vote for Trump

bagoh20 said...

There is a percentage of people who willingly participate in these polls. For whatever reason, the percentages are not the same for all types of people. How do you think that percentage among Trump supporters compares to anti-Trumpers? Without adjusting for that, the polls are useless, so they are useless, especially 2 years out.

Fox News will be completely destroyed the day they seriously speak against Trump, and they know it. Yes, they host Cavuto, Shep, and Ben Shapiro: that is not because they are popular. It is because they are being shills. If Dems don't improve in industrial states, and it may already be too late after that trade deal which HUMILIATED Clinton/ Obama, then this thing is over. No matter what nonsense the polls contain. The "blue wave" failed where it counted: there will be more uncucked Senators. A new SC judge. And a lot of people facing judgement.

The really stupid part is that the media insists Trump is thin-skinned, desperate for popularity, etc... but no serious person thinks he will end the shutdown outside his terms. The Dems haven't started losing yet.

But they will.

Mike Sylwester said...

In 2020, our President Trump will win all the same states he won in 2016. Plus, he might win two states he almost won in 2016 -- Minnesota and New Hampshire.

The key is that Carter Page will remain free to travel internationally through 2020. As Page did in 2016, he will travel between the Trump Tower and the Kremlin. When he travels to the Kremlin, he will carry instructions about which states to target with Facebook ads.

People living in the targeted swing states will see a lot of Facebook ads that show Jesus arm-wrestling Kamala Harris (or whomever). Such Facebook ads will affect the votes just as effectively in 2020 as they did in 2016.

It was Achilles who said that Republicans would hold a big 60-seat majority following the 2018 midterm election. I begged him for a bet on that. Repeatedly, I proposed terms for him to put money on it. He wouldn’t do it. So while Achilles is a trash talking pussy weasel, he’s not a completely stupid trash talking pussy weasel.

Mike Sylwester said...

During the debates, our President Trump will smack around the Democrat candidate.

For example, if the Democrat candidate is Kamala Harris, Trump's first question will be whether she ever has talked with anyone at the Kasowitz Benson Torres law firm.

Harris will squirm visibly and will stutter a nervous response.

In the second and third debates, Trump will ask her again whether she ever has talked with anyone at the Kasowitz Benson Torres law firm.

Harris again will blatantly seem to be evading the question.

The electorate will be watch and will wonder whether Harris is trustworthy enough to be President if she cannot say clearly whether she ever has talked with anyone at the Kasowitz Benson Torres law firm.

narciso said...

The MSM gets to frame the Overton window. It's a guilt edged frame, and most people are embarrassed to admit their support for Donald Trump. There's a reverse Bradley effect with Trump.......Still, Trump knows how to frame the window with gilt. That's how he used to make his living. If the economy is strong, he will be framed with gold and win the election. He's got his own handle on the hermeneutics.

SteveR said...

Simply put, if Joe Biden is consideration then it’s all a freaking joke.

Drago said...

William: "If the economy is strong, he will be framed with gold and win the election."

Powell and the Fed are currently working to see if they can knock down growth significantly before 2020 by continuing to raise interest rates to protect us from that Demon (though non-existent) inflation.

As even Cramer on CNBC said of Powell: What the hell are you doing??!!!

elkh1 said...

He got less than 10 pts chances of winning 2016 against Hillary.
Go figure.

If there is a recession, he probably will lose. If the economy is humming, he will win.

It's still the economy, stupid.

OTOH, he should really think before he tweets. It is fun to punch your Fake Media enemies in the face, figuratively. But it is irritating for a president to punch waaaay down every time the brainless few speak.

Drago said...

SteveR: "Simply put, if Joe Biden is consideration then it’s all a freaking joke."

That would also be a fun matchup just to see how LLR Chuck threads the needle in defending Biden's 5 deferrments and accusing republicans of wanting to put African-Americans back in chains while Chuck simultaneously attacks Trump.

Blogger mockturtle said...

I help your recollection out here.

The national polling average had Hillary with an advantage of about 3.2%. And she won the national popular vote by about 2.1%. The polling was, in a word, within the margin of error and within about a percentage point of absolute accuracy.

No single poll could have predicted victory for either candidate. You’d need 50 state polls to do that; more, with the Nebraska and Maine quirks.

Leland said...

The polls on Nov. 7, 2016 said Trump would lose too. Just last week, Buzzfeed suggested that campaigns could get media groups to influence poll results without anyone possibly knowing until a criminal investigation might expose it. Where would they get such an idea? Twitter just suspended the account that started this Covington student controversy, which appeared to be a California teacher but now is reported by CNN as a Brazilian based blogger. That account was able to fool journalist across the US of various political persuasions. And Fox News put up a graphic showing RBG had died.

If the media told me the sun would come up tomorrow; I'd read Althouse's blog and comment section before considering the media might be onto something. And then, I would still wait 48 hours to see if any new information came out.

That is defined as a defensive wall, rampart, fortification, parapet, stockade, palisade, barricade, a person, institution, or principle that acts as a defense....."the security forces are a bulwark against the breakdown of society".

Those are the last things I think of when I think of the Kristol RINO's. The sole exception is Kevin Williamson.

The purpose of the PPP polling is to provide fodder for negative "news" stories to demoralize Trump's base and suppress voter fall-out.

Don't fall for it.

2020 will be a close vote, just like in 2016. At this early point, Trump probably has a slightly less than 50% shot at winning. But once he gets to pound on the flawed Demo nominee, it'll get to 50-50 - as long as the economy stays strong.

Bottom line: no worrying about Trump's reelection chances. Just gotta grind it out, steady and slow.

I cant wait to see how LLR Chuck, the gang at National Review and the openly allied with lefties cucks at the Cuckly Bulwark Standard try to spin this and blame it on Trump.

that's a good catch, tim, I should have written many of ann's commenters, who boast that they don't read widely, say xxx
Many of Ann's readers agree that it's better to have a Russian intelligence asset in the Oval Office than to have Hillary as President. Many think it's Hillary that's the traitor. Trump's lies and crimes will bring him down, sometime soon, or hopefully sooner. And those that defended his lies and crimes will bear the yellow stain of the coward and traitor, and deserve the infamy that history will heap upon them. Ann, you still got a chance.

Instead of pooh-poohing the polls, I plan to use them to motivate me to help Donald Trump win re-election. I plan to contribute my time and money to help him win. People reading this thread, and who like what Trump has done with the American economy, in negotiations with North Korea, in the Middle East, in improving job prospects for minorities, in wage growth for the middle class, in improving our military readiness, and so on, I urge you to fo the same.

The US has begun exporting oil for the first time in our lifetimes and the US is exporting natural gas to Europe and the US is now the largest energy producer in the world.

Latest Covington Catholic video from the Lincoln Memorial incident on Friday has surfaced where one of the students yells, "It's not rape if you enjoy it!"

Those Covington boys, just a bunch of choirboys...

SeanF said...

Her very next tweet, Inga - "Don't know if this boy attends Covington..."

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

LOL Inga- read the toxic shit spewing from Amee Vanderpool in your link.

She's not sure if it's a Covington student- but Oh well. Guilty anyway.

The desperation of lying leftwing cunts.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Ugly lying leftwing cunts.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

Catholic high school boys heckled a woman BEFORE confrontation with Native American protesters and shouted 'make America great again' and 'build the wall', according to victim who filmed the incident

“Boys from Covington Catholic High School heckled two women near the Lincoln Memorial before they faced off with Native American protesters, one of the women has claimed.

Twitter user Linds, who took video of the incident, said she and a friend were walking past a group of Covington students on Friday when they began shouting 'MAGA' and 'build the wall' out of nowhere.

The footage stands at odds with claims by Nick Sandmann, the teen filmed going eye-to-eye with Vietnam war veteran Nathan Philips, who said the boys were minding their own business waiting for a bus home before being provoked into an altercation.”

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Inga- did you actually watch that video? I did. You cannot even tell what the group are saying, or who the group is comprised of. Is that your evidence? If os, it's pretty weak.

Oh well - gotta find the desperate evidence so that you leftwinger hiveminders can hurl death threats at some teenage boys who went to a pro-life march.

Drago said...

LOL

You just knew Inga would fall for the next hoax!

And who is this linds gal?

Well, just a gal who likes to use the N-word over and over and whose twitter feed reveals a compulsion for insulting blacks, asians and mexicans!!!

Great job Inga!!

But wait, it gets even better!!

"War hero" Nathan Phillips never served in vietnam, was not a "recon ranger" (there is no such thing, Rangers are Army), and was trained as a refrigerator mechanic.

Wait for it.....wait for it....

....un 4 years of service he went AWOL 3 times.

The good news? It was only 3 times!

LOL

#IngaOnlyReadsHeadlines

Inga...Allie Oop said...

Now a new video clip has surfaced that shows a student in the group making an ugly comment about rape that he probably thinks is a clever joke. On the video the student can be heard saying “It’s not rape if you enjoy it!” while others gasp or laugh.

“While this short clip doesn’t show the students from the other, now infamous ‘MAGA Teen’ video, a longer video of the incident shows that the student making the rape comment is part of the same group of students who gathered at the Lincoln Memorial when all this ridiculous bullsh*t went down and is presumably a student at Covington Catholic. (The comment comes at the 13:40 mark.)”

Drago said...

I should add, Phillips went AWOL 3 times during his arduous service at El Toro Marine Base in Los Angeles.

My God, no wonder he is so cynical and jaded after seeing so much death and destruction.....but enough about what happens at the homes of major dem donors.....LOL

From inga's link

"A lifetime ago –wait– three days ago, a video emerged of a group of MAGA hat-wearing teens from Covington Catholic High School hooting and shouting while surrounding an indigenous protester. The video was seen by many as a clear example of right wing bigotry, racism, and hate.


It's the same old BS story.
The left refuse to buy anything except these boys are criminals. Proof be damned.
The left cannot watch the long versions of events. Only short little clips of things that contain zero context.

now there a short clip of a young adult who may or may not be part of Covington, saying a joke about "It's not rape if you enjoy it."
We don't have context because the segment is only a few seconds.

Awesome!

Drago said...

Nathan Phillips, fake democrat "war hero" attempted to disrupt catholic mass at the capital.

So, you know, lets destroy some more high schoolers and threaten them with death.

Said every lefty everywhere.

Others claimed the video was misleading, pointing to longer videos of the incident and saying the interpretations of the students behavior and motivations was incorrect (an explanation that most weren’t buying.)

Refusal to get off the narrative. Wow.
The boys were waiting and the drummer emerged with a camera person and got right in their faces. The boys never surrounded the drummer.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

"It's not rape if you enjoy it."

That is a goofy thing to say but, A) So what?
B) it also sounds like a response to something.
C) if the video is spliced to remove all the context out, your motives are suspect.


Where is the context? Why is the clip clipped?

Static Ping said...

Do remember that in elections you do not need to outrun the bear, you only need to outrun the person next to you. That's more or less how Trump was elected in the first place.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

We can depend on leftwing liars to find out if the kid who said "It's not rape if you enjoy it" goes to Covington.

If so - you leftwingers can destroy his life.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

What we need are MORE leftwing speech police.

Quaestor said...

It's not rape if you enjoy it is a rather flippant yet nonetheless accurate summation of the law as it is everywhere except in the fevered imaginations of feminitwits like Abbie Normal, who believe it's rape if the woman changes her mind.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Behold: The desperation on display by leftist Brownshirts on a total witch hunt to FIND something these teen boys did wrong. They did or said something wrong, damn it.

Bravo.

After you find something crude out of a young boys mouth , then what?
ooo we know. Go all Kathy Griffith. HARASS. DESTROY. RUIN. THREATEN VIOLENCE. etc...

Again - Bravo, brownshirts on the left. Bravo.

Matt Sablan said...

I wonder when we'll see the full context clip from the woman and see if it matches what she claims. They're currently batting zero. I will say this; the sounds of the words are not coming from the direction they turn the camera of the kids. Also, that's not nearly the same amount of kids as we see later. Maybe it is the same group, but... eh, I'm not believing it without something better than a poorly filmed clip.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

David Hogg - who travels in luxury as he profits off the death of his dead classmates, would make a terrific Leftwing Speech Police Commissar.

Don't you think?

walter said...

It's a bit of a problem when the kids are being held to a higher standard than the adults there.

Drago said...

"Behold: The desperation on display by leftist Brownshirts on a total witch hunt to FIND something these teen boys did wrong. They did or said something wrong, damn it."

Indeed.

Earlier today the LLR cucks and their lefty pals pulled up a pic from 8 years ago when the high school had a typical "black out" basketball game against a rival.

What do you think Ingas pals did with that?

You already know, dont you.

Yep, the lefties accused the high schoolers of going in "blackface" to "taunt" minority opponents.

Inga and her pals are doing everything in their power to set off another of their antifa/Hodgkinson storm troopers to go after these kids and their families.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

The leftwing machine WILL FIND something. Teenage boys are bound to say or do something stupid. Even if that kid does not go to Covington - he's still a racist misogynist MAGA hat wearing creep. Oh wait - I didn't see the MAGA hat on that guy. ooops. oh well. He's guilty! Burn the witch.

Their lives must be destroyed. For the common good.

All while low IQ David Hogg enjoys Harvard. He's up and coming leftist speech police guy. He'll be great at it.

Drago said...

These Covington kids better stay alert.

The lefty activists are going to be out there everyday waiting for them to set them up.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Drago - the left are desperate to find something that proves these teens boys are scum of the earth and deserve total Kathy Griffith-style bloody severed head destruction.

Matt Sablan said...

You know what's sad/funny? The Linds person who made that video?

Apparently, has multiple racist slurs and homophobic slurs against Republicans in her old Twitter feed.

So, she MIGHT have just innocently asked a bunch of kids how old they are and suddenly was on the receiving end of a vicious, unprovoked backlash. Or, maybe, that's not what happened. I don't know, and I'd like to know before judging. I jumped to judgment the last time these same kids (maybe) were made out to be random villains, so, I'll keep my powder dry for now.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Drago - exactly. These kids are marked like Jews in Nazi Germany.

Drago said...

I'm recommending additional concealed carry permits for these families in case a LLR Chuck-like type shows up to attack them in order to garner favorable head-patting fron his lefty betters.

Dems always poll well a year or two before the election. That is cause polls don't mean squat. Then as the election tightens you see the shift near the middle.

Trump will win in 2020, just like he did in 2016.

Matt Sablan said...

Now, it's possible these are all ironic tweets, including her "the Holocaust is a lie" one. But, uh, I'm going to wait to see if she can corroborate that those were: A the same kids and B, actually unprovoked, before I get burned again.

John henry said...

There is no law against lying to a pollster.

I could make a case that there is a moral obligation NOT to tell them the truth. Politicians only use polls to better lie to us. "My polls say people are for X, I better pretend that I am really for X even though I am for Y"

Do NOT refuse to answer the polls. If they ask, answer politely and give them all the time they need. Make them think you are telling them what you really feel.

Then LIE your ass off.

If Handsy runs for Prez and wins, he will only be the 2nd former VP to become Prez.

You know who else did that?

Nixon.

Bush was the only sitting VP to win since Martin Van Buren in 1836.

Overall, the history of presidents who served as VPs is pretty abysmal. With the exception of Coolidge.

Though some people also think T Roosevelt was a bit better than abysmal.

"Even if that kid does not go to Covington - he's still a racist misogynist MAGA hat wearing creep."

Nah, he was wearing Bengals gear which automatically implicates him as a criminal.


An aside -- I don't know why someone like Inga is so invested in finding out more about these stupid teenagers. They're just dumb kids who will, on occasion, say something completely idiotic. And I'm not sure what's criminal about any of this, even the rape comment. We used to be a much less fragile nation. Now we spend our lives trying to out-victim one another. Who the fuck cares? Worry about your own shit and your own family and your own people. Someday we will all be dead and no one will remember what any of these kids said or did.
