West Virginia Poll.... Trump 53% - Biden 39%, Trump won by 42% in 2016, now only +14




This poll showing Trump up 53%-39% in West Virginia, a state he won 68%-26% in 2016, might be the most horrific poll I've seen for him all month, and that's saying something.

You can dismiss a WV poll all you want - until you realize that large swaths of PA & OH are culturally an extension of WV.

in 2016, it was wall to wall Trump. Four years later, and, if anything, things have gotten worse for them.

I can't believe it has been four years that my grandma has been gone. I doubt I will ever go back to West Virginia.

Could be WY, ID or OK instead, but WV is a major Trump-loving state. So that closer margin than 2016 is a good sign.

And you're correct that they've influenced the elections in PA and OH recently too, after moving from WV.
