Trump LOSES In Head To Head Polls Against Most Democrats

Early polls are showing that Donald Trump’s path to reelection is getting narrower by the week, and he would currently lose to candidates like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, and several others. But those polls don’t really mean much of anything – we saw the same thing in 2016. What’s buried in recent polling is that the “electability” argument is pure garbage, and only two Democratic candidates have been consistently polling better each month. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins talks about the poll numbers that actually matter.

The recent round of polling available this week shows the Democrats are in a pretty enviable position heading into 2020. Now I know we have not yet even got to the first democratic debate. I know we've got to, you know, year and a half before the actual election, you know, more than half a year before the first a caucus. However, Democrats in head to head match up poles are beating Donald Trump. Joe Biden right now, according to the latest polls, beats Donald Trump by 11 points. Bernie Sanders beats in by 10 points. This according to the latest morning consult, a politico poll, Elizabeth Warren is in a statistical tie with Donald Trump and a head to head match up. Uh, but Harris, Booker, O'Rourke and Buttigieg all lose to Donald Trump and head to head match ups. These poles mean absolutely nothing. Okay. There's actually other polls that do show Elizabeth Warren also beating Trump and head to head match ups and Harris tied in head to head match ups.

But again, this means absolutely nothing. It means zero. I don't even know why they're bothering to do these polls right now, but they are, and we're going to talk about it because we're going to talk about the fact that these polls are absolutely ridiculous. First and foremost, 2016 polls show the same thing. They showed Hillary Clinton absolutely mopping the floor with Donald Trump, and technically she did and she won the popular vote by more than 3 million votes. So those poles weren't necessarily wrong. It's just that they didn't represent who the actual winner was going to be because of our outdated backwards electoral college system. But here is a poll that actually does matter more than these, you know, mythical head to head match ups that they're putting out right now in this latest poll is actually from a Quinnipiac and it shows that there's only two people running for president on the Democrat side to who for the last three months have consistently risen in the polls.

Only two out of more than 24 have risen each month for the last three months. Everybody else has either fallen or stayed the same and in fact there's only one that stayed consistent during that time and that was Yang and the Quinnipiac has him at 1% for the last three months. But anyway, the two people who are rising consistently are Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Joe Biden's, since the month of April has fallen each month, he fell in May, he fell further and June. My prediction is that he's going to fall even further in July once we really get into these debates and people see that he doesn't have much to offer, his poll numbers are going to continue to tank, but Bernie and Warren are rising to the top of this. All right? They're already number two and number three respectively, but there are the only two people whose pull numbers are consistently going up, and those are the polls we need to pay attention to because it's not just about what their numbers are this month.
