It looks like the erosion in Trump's hard-core base is very real

[kpete]

His favorability has dropped 11 points among white evangelicals, from 77% in March to 66% now.

It's dropped 12 points among noncollege whites, from 66% to 54% now.

1. One can only hope that this trend continues. nt

[Jarqui]

2. Unfortunately, in particular respects, it likely will

because there will be a lot of unreported deaths and many more unnecessary deaths to come. Americans can look the other way on a lot of stuff but historically, not dead Americans.

Trump will lie again to blame it on China or Obama or whoever. And Trump will come up with a snake oil salesman pitch that he's developing a vaccine that will be ready shortly after the election but will be delayed if Trump has to run the transition from a country that doesn't have extradition with the US.

is history - take that to the bank

[Kid Berwyn]

4. Perhaps the collapse shall accelerate.

And then one day soon, it’ll be just Stephen Miller and Sebastian Gorka left to flog the orange horse for Putin.

[lagomorph777]

21. If he's losing the Evilgelicals, he's well and truly fucked.

[McKim]

28. Now That they Have So Many Judges

Now that they have so many conservative judges, the White Evangelicals are having what they wanted out of Trump and they will find it harder to support this insane destructive “leader”. The unborn are SO much more important than those of us already here!

[lagomorph777]

35. "Pro-Life" (except for those already born) - throw kids in jail to die, gun nuts, covidiots...

...but all of a sudden, when the latest death cult craze is killing even the cultists, now they care. I'm so impressed with their morality.

[MFGsunny]

5. Favorability drops are a significant inflection point.

But what's with Democratic states in that second chart inching UP ????

[OAITW r.2.0]

12. That jumped out to me as well.

There may be some statistical noise distorting these results. I suspect that continued polling on these states will show more erosion (or correction) than the other groups.

[Roy Rolling]

17. Unscientific Sample

“Blue States” and “Red States” is not a reliable group to compare. Is Louisiana, with a history of Democratic voting and a Democratic Governor red or blue? Republicans all say it’s red but Democrats say it’s blue.

[OAITW r.2.0]

18. I agree, it is a poor label.

The great political divide in this country appears to be "rural" vs. "urban" in every state. Rural areas tend to be self-isolating and insulated from outside influence. Urban areas have a lot more diversity of thought that impacts their world-view of these areas.

I'd love to see demographic data on Fox News viewers. I'll bet their biggest markets are located in primarily rural areas.

[smirkymonkey]

40. I found that troubling as well.

WTH?

[Mister Ed]

6. My sister-in-law says voting for Trump was the worst mistake of her life.

And, um, not to air any of the family's dirty laundry or anything, but lemme tell ya: to be the worst mistake of her life, it would have to be one helluva mistake...

[MyOwnPeace]

7. L-O-L! Interesting "response"..............

your S-I-L should be thankful that you were so "kind" in explaining her "mistake!"

[brewens]

8. It's all about how many people are going to just accept being ruined by this? Many already are.

If it had happened a couple years back right as I was having some medical problems, the loss of income, insurance and the medical bills would have buried me.

That's why they are so desperate to blame democrats. It can't be Trumps slow response, it has to be that most of their problems were forced on them by democrats because of the lockdowns. Even if the manage that and it momentarily looks good for the republicans, they still aren't going to just take it. No freakin' way most of those people hospitalized can afford to pay what most of them racked up in bills.

If people that have lost it all realize the wealthy came away even farther ahead, the shit is going to hit the fan and stay hit!

That situation with the meat packing plants is going to kill Trump. His order to stay open won't work. At best they can be running at diminished capacity soon if we're lucky. We will be seeing meat shortages at best, possibly produce as well, maybe overall food shortages, and maybe even food rationing before it's all over if it stays bad enough long enough.

Trump's thinking, this can't happen, it will ruin him, it's not fair. He thinks he can just order it to stop when the only thing he could have done was prevent it by earlier and aggressive action.

[greymattermom]

9. China buys a lot of pork from us.

Will they continue to buy pork from meat processing plants with a history of coronavirus infection?

[gab13by13]

10. My question is a different one,

Trump forced meat packaging plants to remain open because not doing so would destroy the supply chain. Since farmers send a lot of pork to China, was Trump talking about our supply chain or China's?

[brewens]

37. They are going to catch holy hell if they continue to export any meat to China. But just

snapping your finger to make it so isn't that easy. Everything that was in the pipeline to them can't that easily be rerouted to our stores and food banks. Even that takes some serious planning and expertise that Trump has made sure he doesn't have. That has to happen though. As usual Trump will make sure it's a bigger problem than it needed to be.

[scrabblequeen40]

11. To be precise: a growing number of them are dying at an accelerated rate

and those who are still alive are turning on him.

[FakeNoose]

14. They've all been laid off

Entire towns have lost their jobs. The sad thing is that most of them won't be called back either. But yes, the death thing is real too. The ChumpHumpers are finally figuring out just how expendable we all are to Chump and the one-per-centers.

[IronLionZion]

26. Trump wants them to blame Democrats for that

but it's slightly harder to blame Dems for GOP controlled states closing down plants due to workers getting sick and dying.

[McKim]

29. The Free Time Factor is Settling In

Most of these folks worked hard and long hours. Keeping workers busy and stressed left little time for reflection. FOX news and stickin’ it to the Libs was the evening’s entertainment. Now they are unemployed, without health care and with plenty of time to THINK. They are looking around at their kids and THINKING how this economy will hurt them.
They are not stupid. They will figure it out here pretty darn quick.

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. And he's gonna sue each and every last one of them.

Roody's working on filing the papers as we speak.

[oldsoftie]

15. Ive been saying this is happening but nobody wants to believe it.

NO Hillary voter is going to vote for trump this time. MANY Trump voters either will vote against him or wont vote at all.
One friend told me he had no plans to vote for trump but likely wouldnt vote Biden either. Fine. One LESS Trump vote.
But he also said "I Wish Biden would pick a VP that would make me vote for him". But then he also couldnt tell me who that would be

[lagomorph777]

22. VP Kelyane Conjob?

I'm guessing any VP pick that would bring in Trumpers would turn off sane voters. I'm happy enough if the Trumpers just stay home.

[oldsoftie]

39. Yes, a non vote is almost as good as a no vote. nt

[LiberalFighter]

30. As I explained to someone else that was concerned about the VP pick.

Who is picked as VP is not as important as the Cabinet positions that will be filled and the many other positions such as the NLRB and other labor related agencies. Normally I would not be as concerned about the Defense Dept or Homeland Security but Trump has weakened them and put this country at risk.

One of the tasks that Biden could assign his VP is to weed out people Trump planted in the depts and agencies. And then he will need someone to help him fill vacancies in the lower courts and the Supreme Court when they open.

Sure who is the VP is important but not in the way most think.

Just as Biden was a good VP. It was because Obama was in charge.

[oldsoftie]

38. I believe Biden has said he's considering naming Cabinet picks BEFORE the election.

Maybe for the reasons you mention

[Politicub]

16. Trump: It's my nazi-looking campaign manager's fault! Sue him!

[machoneman]

19. Hah! You know you've lost it all whne you blame your campaign manager!

Funny as hell he did this. Watch for far more Trumpexplosions coming to a theater near you!

He's lost it for sure. I cannot for the life of me ever remember a politico, let alone a president (small p, like his p) who indicted his campaign manager before the election. Only Trumplestilkins would do this. Btw, this Brad fellow is pretty good at what he does so I do hope he quits or gets fired....and soon.

[Fiendish Thingy]

20. So, according to the bottom chart, Trump's favorability ratings have increased in Dem states? Nt

[OnDoutside]

23. Margin of Error ?

[gratuitous]

24. We don't have to win over every knuckle-headed Trump supporter

But peel off 3-4%, and Trump's in big trouble. He hasn't done much of anything to attract new support from his 2016 run. People who didn't like him then probably aren't liking him much now.

[underpants]

25. I commented about this to my wife a few days ago

Even the smallest chunk out of this base and he’s done.

One person I know on Facebook - hard core Trump- has gone fully into the STAY HOME mode.

[LiberalFighter]

33. I've been saying this for several months.

When you know people that hold their position because of the political party saying they will not vote for Trump in 2020 then you know something is going on.

Add that to the economy, the virus, and everything else.

[IronLionZion]

27. His favorability improved 1 point in Dem states?

[aggiesal]

31. I agree, that makes this poll unbelievable ...

besides, I always say the only poll that matters is the poll on Nov. 3rd.

Then on the Nov. 4th Pendejo45 will be unemployed.

[Zambero]

32. Margin of error applies in this poll as well as others

Most statistical polling samples have results within a +/- 3% range. Given the 1% uptick in Dem states, perhaps this poll result was on the high end of the MOE, or possibly on the low end for the previous poll.

[aggiesal]

34. PRRI - Public Religion Research Institute ...

Never heard of them, so I don't know they political leanings.
Although, most anything associated with Religion leans conservative.

[US4u2]

36. Interesting...

I had no idea that the effect of the corona virus was to stimulate the growth of republican brains! But, may be too soon to tell, after Pence's little escapade (though I think you have to have a brain to begin with).
