(5,557 posts)The electorate is not as aware, engaged, or progressive as we tend to think it is.
The average voter is stupid, fickle, ignorant, and profoundly selfish - and there is no fixing that on less than a generational timescale.
Adjust expectations and priorities accordingly.
people think it is our side and their side.
It isn't.
It is our 1/3, their 1/3 and a 1/3 you just described, that FAR too often falls for the right wing bullshit.
We have been pushing mud my entire life.

(50,955 posts)At one point they say, "The abortion issue has faded in importance." RepubliQans are working REAL hard to make us believe that. It's total bullshit.
Our uteruses are still here. It's still life and death.

(15,943 posts)Whew 375 people who will vote for him. Now thats amazing!
I always check to see how many people get polled. Thats the only way to get to the meat of polling. Then once that polling data is revealed, you can pretty much determine theres nothing to worry about.

And he was born in Tennessee. Not your typical Tennessee guy.

(77,081 posts).... just anecdotally thinking about my FB friends, specifically white women I went to high school with (GenXer, HS in the late 80s) - I would say a slight majority (very slight) are Trump voters. Not hardcore, vitriolic MAGA types but they voted for Trump nonetheless. So perhaps that 52% figure isn't that far off the mark.

(89,252 posts)White women voted for Trump before so why would this be so surprising ?
Jspur
(578 posts)you said they voted for Trump in the past. I'm not shocked by this at all. I grew up in the South and I encountered a lot of white women who were nice and friendly and then would vote for Republicans. No one should be shocked by this. Women regardless of race tend to e prone to being down with nationalism when it comes to their race. This is why republicans are good at getting the majority of white women.

(3,861 posts)so there is no reason to believe in its accuracy.
I don't.
I seriously doubt either poll is correct.

(21,768 posts)That is, are they tracking the same group and finding they have changed their minds, or are they asking two separate groups and finding different results.
With such a small sample (375 people), if it is two different groups, this is just noise.
I reckon their are more than 375 suburbs in America, so they polled less than 1 person per suburb. Sounds less than definitive.
