'Trump is ineligible': Top election officials urged to bar former president from ballot The Constitution makes clear that "Trump is ineligible to appear on the presidential primary ballot," said FSFP.
A new USA Today/Suffolk University Poll of unlikely voters — those who are eligible to vote but say they probably won’t — give Donald Trump a lopsided edge over President Biden. “Registered voters who say they aren’t likely to go to the polls back Trump over Biden by nearly 20 percentage points, 32% to 13%, with 27% supporting a third-party or other candidate. Citizens who are eligible to vote but haven’t registered also favor Trump by close to 2-1, 28% to 15%; 27% prefer another candidate.” “If they participated in the election, Trump’s advantage among them is so wide that they could shift the political landscape to his advantage.” David Paleologos: “Here’s the irony of ironies: when the unlikely voters were asked why they were registered but not voting next year, about 13% used the words ‘election is rigged/corruption/unfair/don’t like the voting process/mail-in ballots.’ These have been Trump’s words for the past five years, and the very people who could help elect him have totally soured on elections and voting.”
So Trump has the same edge that Obama had in 2012.Thats not good for Biden.Many of these voters will decide to vote last minute just as they did in 2012.
Dan Pfeiffer: “Political narratives can be misleading. On the Republican side, the conversation is about Donald Trump’s stranglehold over his base. Republican voters’ devotion to Trump is portrayed as being so strong that the former President is compared to a cult leader. Reading press coverage of Joe Biden these days, one would think that Joe Biden was holding off an insurrection among his own voters. But that’s not what the polls show at ball.” “Biden and Trump have nearly identical favorable ratings from members of their own party. In the recent New York Times/Sienna poll, Trump’s is 77/21. Biden’s is 77/19. In the most recent YouGov/Economist poll, Trump’s favorable rating among Republicans is 75/24 and Biden’s is 81/17 among Democrats. Republicans are about 10 points more enthusiastic, and both Trump and Biden will need to raise those numbers before the election, but the idea that Democratic voters are walking away from Biden does not show up in the polls.
