Mod: There is something about Donald the lascivious old goat that just isn't working this year. What could it be?
Lady Troubles: Trump ‘losing female vote to Biden by a historic margin not seen in more than 50 years’ (
The Sun link):
President Trump is losing the women's vote to
Joe Biden by a historic margin that has not been seen in more than 50 years, according to new research.
Biden is leading
Trump among female registered voters by 59 percent to 35 percent, polling compiled by
The New York Times reveals.
It was a 19-point disparity between the two rivals earlier this year, and
Hillary Clinton had a 14-point lead in polls leading up to the 2016 election, won by
Trump.
Democrat Lyndon Johnson won the women's vote by 24 points in 1964 when he toppled
Barry Goldwater, according to
CNN, but Biden has a chance to surpass that number.
Women have generally leaned to
Democratic candidates, but that trend has intensified with
Trump. "We think it's a reflection of a trend that started quite some time ago, with the gender gap, that really accelerated after
Trump got elected, interestingly,"
Morley Winograd, a senior fellow at
USC's
Annenberg School Center on Communication Leadership and Policy, told
US News in May.
"It has continued to grow at an accelerated rate ever since."
Biden has an overall 52-41 edge among voters, according to
The Times. He also dominated young voters, leading 56-34 for those people aged 18 to 34. Registered voters 65 and older favor
Biden, 51-44.
Stunning Poll: Majority of Americans Think Trump is Racist and Below Average or FAILURE as President (
Mediaitelink):
Trump has gotten a lot of bad polling news recently, as his approval ratings have cratered and his general election opponent
Joe Biden has widened his lead over the incumbent. A new
Yahoo! News/YouGov poll is arguably worse news for
Trump, as the results cut at his character and place in
American history.
When directly asked “
Do you think that President Trump is a racist?”, 52 percent said yes, while only 34 percent said no — an 18 point spread. Even a hefty plurality of white voters agreed
Trump is a racist, 46-39, while only 14 percent of
Republicans said yes to the question. Crucially, among independent voters, the spread was even wider than the overall number, with 53 percent saying Trump is a racist and only 31 percent saying he is not.
Respondents were also asked “
How would you rate the following Presidents?”, and given choices ranging from “Great” to “failure” in assessing
Trump and former
Presidents Barack Obama,
Abraham Lincoln,
George Washington,
George W. Bush,
Bill Clinton,
Ronald Reagan,
Jimmy Carter,
John F. Kennedy,
Dwight Eisenhower, and
Franklin Roosevelt.
It did not go well for
Trump. A whopping 54 percent rated
Trump either a “failure” or “below average,” with the results overwhelmingly tilted to “failure” at 43 percent. That’s more than double the number who said the same of President
Obama, whose polarizing presidency scored 21 percent in that metric. That’s versus 45 percent who said
Obama was “great” or “near great.”
