Trump Is Getting Crushed By 'The Haters'

Political Wire (paywall)

The latest Monmouth poll finds 21% of registered voters do not have a favorable opinion of either Donald Trump or Joe Biden.

Mark McKinnon calls this group of voters “The Haters,” since they don’t like either party’s nominee. It’s a segment Trump did very well with in 2016. Exit polls showed Trump ultimately winning their vote over Hillary Clinton, 47% to 30%.

But that’s not happening this time. According to the poll, Biden holds a huge lead over Trump among these voters, 55% to 21%.

As pollster Patrick Murray explained: “Clinton was the insider candidate who approximated an incumbent in many voters’ minds. There is no mistaking who wears that mantle this year. Trump’s problem is that voters who aren’t enamored with either candidate tend to go for change.”

I have a friend who supported Sanders, she hates Biden because she blames him for Sanders loss. She has told me she will vote for Biden if she has to, but she may leave President blank. I just want to shake some sense into her, but she has been nuts since she started following Bernie.

Ask your friend whether she wants to live or die. The choice is exactly that stark.

I hardly talk to her anymore. We used to work for the same Democratic candidates until Bernie, now she hates all of them and thinks they are all against Bernie and her for some reason. Granted she was running with some really rapid Bernie supporters but it is crazy what she is saying.
