I'm curious if there any people who changed their minds about Trump either way.

Of course I didn't vote for him and plan not to vote for him again. Please explain your reasoning.

I think there's a demographic of people that simply let their hated for Clinton blind them and voted for Trump, who now have buyers remorse after how horribly wrong their vote went wrong, that are going to vote against Trump, and then NEVER admit that they voted for him to anyone because how ashamed and embarrassed they feel about voting for him.

My parents were like that with Bush. Voted for him twice, then watched in horror as the Iraq War spiraled out of control, and quietly voted Obama in 08'.

I think there are more "secret" Biden voters than most people would admit. Where I live for instance is heavily Republican, Trump yard signs and bumper stickers are pretty common, but there are Biden supporters (myself included), and none of us have bumper stickers or yard signs, and yet we are all voting for Biden in November. I even know a guy who goes to my gym who voted Trump in 2016, but is voting Biden in November.

FWIW, I can't vote on this poll because I fall under the category of not voting for president in 2016 (big mistake), and will be voting for Biden this November.

This notion of a regretful Trump voter is nothing but a lefty fantasy. Since the day he was elected there has been this odd attempt at a guilt trip but Trump still has massive support in his own party.
 
i'll be voting against the mango marmot unless NC Republican operatives collect my mail in ballot.

It applies more I'd imagine to swing voters, but certainly not to hardcore Republicans who were all in from the start. There may be moderate Republicans who will turn, but not a significant percent. Trump seems to have taken over the party.

Funny how the horrors of a Republican President does this every time.

I’d agree with this for the most part but I will say that I was not all in for him from the start. I didn’t trust him to not be Hillary light. I didn’t go all in until he did stuff I agreed with.
 
If we don't die of Covid before the election, are we going to commit suicide if Trump wins?

Keep up the wonderful scare tactics. The majority of adults in this country do not even vote.

The majority of voters spend the vast majority of their lives living.

The minority in this country get consumed with politics and actually think the puppet in the white house will affect their life.

Massive support is not 39%. Biden is above 50% in just about every poll. Trump has never hit 50% since he was elected. Sure Trump hits 90% among republicans, a shrinking party. And that amounts to the 39% overall.

You guys are going to need a lot of cheating and voter suppression to win this one, but you already know that.

Yeah, you all are so concerned about cheating you want to make it easy as possible to do it. :lol:
 
his tweets and his talk are sometimes not perfect, but his actions in trying to actually fulfill the promises he made that his base agrees with are top of all recent Presidents, bar none.

and regardless what the left thinks, those are good policies for the american citizen in general.

You do realize that is a meaningless poll? All of the decent, smart Republicans have left the party. That's one reason the Lincoln Project is absolutely destroying Trump with their brilliant ads. The Republican Party is simply not as big as it was 4 years ago.

The only people left in the Nazi Repug Party are ignorant, racist unsophisticated goobers.

They’re only “decent smart Republicans” so long as they’re bashing other Repubs. If I had your endorsement I’d wonder where I went wrong.

It makes a difference. Keep informed about public matters. Go vote.

As it turns out, if the administration neglects global disease surveillance and pandemic preparedness and fails to develop and implement a national response if a pandemic does develop, it can affect people's lives greatly. Many of us haven't been able to have a normal meal out, go to a movie, go into the office, drop off kids at day care, or a million other things we once took for granted, in five months. People we know are out of work. Businesses we love aren't coming back.

Leadership, it turns out, matters a lot. Politics is not reality TV.
 
Struck out with that poll.

Still have not seen a great leader coming thru the political system for quite awhile. When you find a man that will truly make a difference in this country please tell me.
In the meantime, keep flipping a coin that has tails on both side.
 
Viewed the poll results.
There interesting 60/40% against Trump looks like the country.
 
Whoever wins, I don't think anybody should be surprised by the outcome. This is 2020, the strangest year of my life. Anything is possible--anything.

The latest Gallup Poll indicates that people describing themselves as Republicans has decreased.

U.S. Party Preferences Have Swung Sharply Toward Democrats

Trump has 91% approval among members of a dying party, both literally and figuratively.

If people who once identified as Republicans are no longer describing themselves as Republican during Trump's term, it's a safe bet that this group represents regretful Trump voters.

I hear he has over 20 percent of the black vote

Anything over ten percent of the black vote virtually means trump wins
