A
poll from the NY Times shows that most of the Dems who voted for President Trump
in 2016 yet supported their party within the mid-term elections, are set to return
to President Trump in 2020.
The
Siena College/NY Times Upshot poll questioned a narrow part of Dems who
supported President Trump in 2016 in swing states and they plan on voting for
him again — though a few supported Dems in the mid-terms.
Nearly
2/3 of voters within 6 battleground states who supported the president in the
year 2016 — yet voted for Dem congressional candidates in the year 2018 — state
they intend to back him again in the year 2020, according to the New York
Times.
The
New York Times wrote:
Most
of the white working-class voters within the Rust Belt who supported Trump in
2016 were traditionally Dem voters who backed Obama in 2012 and even proceeded
to vote Dem down-ballot in the year 2016. Dems usually held on to those voters
in 2018, yet the reasons most of them voted for Trump, like his promises on the
economy or immigration, still could be relevant.
The
New York Times cited many Dem voters within their story who voiced their
support for the president’s policies, despite their critical viewpoints about
his character.
According
to the poll, in addition, Trump is winning a small part of previous Hillary
Clinton voters.
According
to the swing state survey, 7% of voters who supported Hillary Clinton for
president in the year 2016 currently approve of the Trump’s performance in
office.
The
New York Times polled 3,766 voters from Florida, Arizona, North Carolina,
Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, in October.
