Trump Plunges In Pennsylvania As 57% of Voters Don't Want Him Reelected

BY JASON EASLEY at Politicus USA

A new poll of Pennsylvania found that Trump’s approval rating is at 40%, and 57% think he doesn’t deserve reelection.

https://www.politicususa.com/2019/11/14/trump-pennsylvania-poll-reelection.html

"SNIP.....

According to the Morning Call/Muhlenberg College poll:
Six in 10 state voters say Trump is dividing the country and not trustworthy, and more than half say he only cares about himself. And Pennsylvania voters are divided on whether he should be removed from office before next year’s election.

….

Among the field of Democrats seeking to succeed Trump, former Vice President Joe Biden performs the best in a head-to-head match-up, leading Trump 52% to 43%. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren also topped Trump, 50% to 45%, though that result was within the poll’s 6 percentage point margin of error.

….

Among independents, 55% disapprove of Trump’s job performance and 33% approve. Among his fellow Republicans, 79% approve and 17% disapprove, and 92% of Democrats disapprove of Trump’s performance while 7% approve.

Joe Biden, from Scranton, remains the strongest Democratic candidate in Pennsylvania. The state’s swing voters are centrist, and Biden’s message plays perfectly in the Keystone State. The numbers also reveal that Elizabeth Warren is being plagued by some of the same gender gap issues that harmed Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania.

And, I suspect, rural areas still worship him as the stupid, corrupt, incompetent fuckhead that he is.

This is why Trump will dump Pence and take on Nikki Haley. Pence no longer helps Trump since evangelicals and Indiana are solid. Trump needs PA, Michigan, and women.

If he resigns or is removed and she is the nominee, then yes.

an amount that just about equaled the vote for Jill Stein in the state.

I was actually on a telephone town hall this evening with my Congressional rep. Dwight Evans (PA-3) He did a series of constituent "poll" questions throughout the call on various topics (vote by pressing numbers on the phone) but the one that stood out was the first one which was on impeachment. Based on the call attendees who voted-by-phone (not sure how many were on), the results were -

Should the President be impeached?

84% = YES
7% = NO
9% = NOT SURE
