But, is it enough to get people to vote for Trump in the states he needs to win for 270?
Gallup: Almost Every Indicator Favors GOP, Making Election Trump’s to Lose
A new Gallup poll shows Republicans leading on nine out of 10 key issues the pollster uses to determine which side has an advantage ahead of the election. Gallup said the GOP trails only on the approval of Congress, and voters don’t like either party on that.
“The political environment suggests the election is Trump’s and Republicans’ to lose,” Gallup said. “Nearly every indicator of the election context is favorable to the Republican Party, and those that aren’t are essentially tied rather than showing a Democratic advantage.”
Party identification has traditionally been a strong indicator in predicting election outcomes, Gallup said, and this year, 48% say they are, or lean, Republican, versus 45% who are, or lean, Democrat — a GOP advantage not seen in decades.
The second highly predictive measure is which party voters believe will better handle big problems. In this, too, Republicans outgun Democrats, by 46%-41%, mostly on the view they are better suited to handle the economy. The poll finds that respondents view the GOP as the party that will make American prosperous by a 50%-44% margin.
Those are, per Gallup, those are the two biggest drivers for elections.
I’m not clear on why all the articles are saying 9 of 10, looks like 8 of 10 to me. Regardless, the question now is, can they keep this? Can Trump keep the crazy down? Because Trump needs to win for the GOP to keep the House and Senate. I really do not think a Harris win will allow either of those to happen.
