Exclusive: Ahead of 2020 election, a 'Blue Wave' is rising in the cities, polling analysis shows

As Republican President Donald Trump seeks a second term in November, Americans’ interest in voting is growing faster in large cities dominated by Democrats than in conservative rural areas, according to an analysis of Reuters/Ipsos national opinion polls.

If the trend lasts until Election Day on Nov. 3, it would be a reversal from the 2016 election when rural turnout outpaced voting in urban areas, helping Trump narrowly win the White House.

The finding, based on responses from more than 88,000 U.S. adults who took the online poll from August to December 2015 or from August to December 2019, suggests that the “Blue Wave,” a swell of anti-Trump activism that followed his entry into the White House in 2017, is still rolling across the country’s largest population centers.

Register them and GOTV this November! Let's roll!

1. Excellent. Those 7.5 extra percentage points in battleground states elected

Senator Kyrsten Sinema in 2018. GO BLUE!

Trump can pound sand tonight in Phoenix.

[Boulevardier]

2. Very encouraging. Let's take the Senate while we're at it.

[Progressive Jones]

12. The Senate is actually the crown jewel. Trump is temporary. nt

3. Unfortunately I'll have to take a consistent position on online polls.

i.e. ignore them - there's no way to eliminate self-selection bias.

We have to turn out voters like there's no tomorrow - because if we don't, there is no tomorrow.

4. Voter suppression is rising too in states controlled by GOP

so we have to work twice as hard to register them, verify all the right documentation and ID and whatever, and make sure they get out to vote, and aren't turned away for BS excuses on election day.

There will be long and painful lines in many big cities. Dems need to vote early. Verify registration and polling place way in advance as these things have a way of disappearing.

5. Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease

There are many more of us...

6. Our county in Oklahoma registered

600 new voters before the primary. Republicans registered 400. They are still way ahead of us in total voters, but I have to be encouraged.

[liberalla]

7. Excellent news!

. . . . and. .

[mountain grammy]

8. City by city

We’ll take back America. We better.

[Aussie105]

9. Groundswell?

This ain't right! I better get registered to vote!

Here's hoping!

[muntrv]

10. Now let's have the blue wave rising in suburbs and rural

areas.

[mahina]

11. I hope those cities are in battleground states
