Defeating Trump Is Bigger Motivator Than Re-Electing Him
November 7, 2019 at 8:17 am EST By Taegan Goddard


A new Kaiser Family Foundation/Cook Political Report poll finds nearly three times as many voters offer responses related to defeating President Trump (21%) as offer responses related to re-electing him or not wanting a Democrat to be elected (8%).

Defeating President Trump was offered as the top motivation to vote in 2020 by 39% of Democratic voters while responses related to re-electing President Trump/not wanting a Democrat were offered by 21% of Republican voters. Twenty percent of independent voters offered responses related to defeating President Trump while 7% of independent voters offered responses related to re-electing President Trump.

Overall, 23% of voters offer issues such as health care, the economy, and immigration, as their motivation for voting in the 2020 presidential election.

The Democrats should launch attack-ads with clips of Trump and the tag-line: "Do you really want 4 more years of this?"

but I will only start to feel like we are on the recovery track as a nation if he is absolutely DEMOLISHED in the election (the reverse of Nixon's '72 victory) AND we remove as many R's from House and Senate as possible, including Moscow Mitch.
