Poll: Trump trails Biden, Sanders, Warren in potential 2020 matchups

[highplainsdem]

Source: The Hill

President Trump trails top Democrats in potential matchups of likely 2020 White House candidates, according to a new poll.

The Politico/Morning Consult poll released early Wednesday found that Trump lags behind former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) by 12 points each.

The president also trails 4 points behind Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) in the poll.

Notably, however, Trump fails to secure more than 30 percent in any of those matchups, suggesting a large section of the population would be undecided in a matchup between Trump and a candidate with less name recognition in 2020.

1. It's almost like Trump's base isn't big enough to carry him in a national election...

And he'd need overwhelming support from independents to win.

I'm a Cory Booker fan myself, but would be very happy to vote for Joe in the general and see him in the Oval Office again. He's smart, experienced, is a tiger who doesn't back down from Trump, and is popular in the midwest/blue collar areas. He stands as good of a chance as anybody in 2020 if he wants to run.

8. You're correct, the Idiot's base isn't big enough to carry him

that didn't happen in 2016 either - he won because the russians and GOP rigged the system. I'm willing to bet the only way he would win this time around is by cheating, again.

Re: Joe, RUN BIDEN RUN!!! Among the fields of young and senior, Joe has my top vote if Hillary can't be prez.

2. I'd like to see a poll on a head to head matchup

between d Rump and ''a cockroach that just came out of the sewer and is leaving filthy little footprints all over the respondents' white kitchen countertops''.

[The Genealogist]

16. You'd like to see a match up between Trump and himself?

[Mc Mike]

17. VERY unfair to the roach. I say it wins by +20.

Just on the character issue alone.

[The Genealogist]

18. +15 at least

[Mc Mike]

34. The latest Reuters/ipsos Yougov data core political release has roachy +17

in the important 'soccer moms turned security moms' demo, in the category of job performance approval rating.

[dubyadiprecession]

24. I don't believe Trump will run again...

Even if he's not impeached.

[Mc Mike]

25. Then the roach will win the nomination on the first ballot at the gop convention.

[beachbum bob]

3. we have no idea who our candidate will be but it won't be any one of those 3

[Freddie]

14. From your lips to God's ears

PLEASE somebody new and younger. I like Gov. Inslee.

[beachbum bob]

15. the name is out there somewhere and I don't neccessarily believe it needs to be a "politician"

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Until ALL voting machines are secure, I'm not swayed by polling.

You could have a 75-25 poll against Trump and the voting machines could flip that ratio in certain states.

[Meadowoak]

5. I predict, trump will be gone, before the week is out.

[onetexan]

9. i was telling my hubby that this morning

that my hunch is the Idiot's downfall will play out the same way Nixon's did. My guess is those close to him are urging him to resign to somehow save face, so that they won't have to impeach him.
update: Forgot to add i'm sure the GOP enablers are now wanting him out of the picture for Pence to step up as prez so they can continue to carry out their agenda to devastate/hurt the middle class, the aged, the disenfranchised and the poor.

[highplainsdem]

11. I'm sure many top Rethugs hope he'll resign, but his base will turn on them of they don't defend him

and right now they seem more afraid of his base...and probably of Putin, who almost certainly has plenty of dirt on them, thanks to hacking.

20. The main function of #NRAROUBLES has been to create Kompromat

on every Russiapublican who took the bait (money or sex) from Mariia Butina.

[bullsnarfle]

21. Somebody in D.C. (I forget who)

said that Trump will have to be dragged kicking and screaming from the White House, that he did not have the "class" to resign like Nixon did. I laughed my ass off!! Dude, when Richard Frigging Nixon is perceived to have more "class" than you do, you are one sorry scuzzbucket, hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

[bearsfootball516]

10. God, I would love that, but I don't see it.

[lagomorph777]

19. Or at least unlikely to run in 2020.

[still_one]

6. Unlikely that Sanders and Warren will be the Democratic nominee. It is such a worthless poll

because all it is a measure of is name recognition, and the fact that they have so many "undecided voters", if other less known Democrats are added to the race.

Coming from the Hill this does not surprise in the least.

Until actual prospective candidates are know, these polls are meaningless

[Recursion]

7. Remember he trailed Clinton significantly in the actual vote, too

This doesn't mean he would lose.

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. I doubt Biden will be part of the 2020 picture

but there are plenty of other good possibilities.

[StevieM]

31. I would be surprised if Biden didn't run. I fully expect Sanders and Biden to run for president.

I think Warren will probably sit it out.

I plan on supporting Tom Steyer.

[TheCowsCameHome]

32. Biden had to cancel two events recently

including a planned vacation on the Vineyard, per doctors orders.

No details were given, which makes me wonder if he has health issues.

[retread]

13. A Presidential poll with 40-50+ undecided? Have I slept through midterms? How did they turn out?

[aintitfunny]

22. In reality

His support numbers should trail Bo and Sunny Obama. These two fluffy dogs would do less harm.

[MissMillie]

23. I don't see Biden or Sanders being all that viable

(though they would both be terrific).

And I want Warren where she is for selfish reasons.

We have more than 2 years. There has to be some fresh face that would work for the Democratic Party.

I think we need a purple-state newcomer--a Democrat. Where is the next Obama?

(I realize a lot of conservatives think that Obama is a Liberal, but I think there might just be someone out there that can convince enough people that those polices were in no way "extreme.&quot

[Meadowoak]

26. We need to stay focused on 2018, if we don't take the house, there won't be a 2020!

[awesomerwb1]

27. I love Joe Biden

out of all the names mentioned. But we need some new blood.

Warren's ok. Bernie is a no thanks from me.

Names for the future: Swalwell (he's great, no fear to call out twitler), Castro, Beto (he's another great one). Kamala, etc etc

[hughee99]

28. I don't think he'll run again. He's over 70, there's people gunning for him (figuratively) from

the other side of the aisle and from his own party, and he knows that retired presidents can cash in. He'll huff and puff until it's time to shit or get off the pot, but in the end, he'll use his family as an excuse and not run in 2020.

[question everything]

29. But... no one younger than 65?

[djacq]

30. Hope is still on Kamala Harris!... Cory Booker as second choice!

Interesting that this poll didn't favored better for people of color (Harris, Booker, and Holder) or a strong feminist (Gillibrand).

The whole dynamic will change significantly after the midterms.

[apnu]

33. This is way to early, even for silly season.

Plus Trump's numbers will shore up closer to his election day as R's off the reservation start flying home as they always do.
