A poll from Trump's favorite network has him losing to his most likely 2020 opponents

On the morning of July 25 of last year, President Trump woke up and turned on Fox News, as he often does. Among other things, the network was reporting on a new poll it had conducted. In it, Trump trailed former vice president Joe Biden by 10 points. A few months later, when the same poll showed support for impeaching him, Trump would complain publicly — repeatedly — about the network’s polling team. That day in July, though, he took a different tack, asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a phone call to launch an investigation into Biden.

Fox News released another poll Thursday evening that includes at least one piece of good news for Trump. More than half of respondents, 56 percent, think that Trump is on track for reelection. Digging into the numbers a little deeper, though, we see that there’s a lot that might give Trump pause as well — and some strong hints that the focus on electability by Democratic primary voters is a flawed basis for casting a ballot.

Views of how likely it is that candidates for the Democratic Party’s nomination can beat Trump in November vary widely among voters in the party’s primaries. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who leads the primary field in this poll, is also seen as the candidate with the best chance to win the general election. Biden and former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg trail a bit, with more than half of Democrats saying that they could win.



As has been the case for some time, views of that electability go hand-in-hand with how much support the candidates receive from primary votes. In Fox’s last poll, Biden led and was seen as the most electable. In this one, he dropped on both metrics.

Can’t vouch for it, but almost 60% said that Sanders couldn’t beat Trump.
When that same group was asked who they would vote for in a Sanders-Trump contest, Bernie won 46-43.

Electability is very subjective, changes every new day, and can definitely be manipulated by the Trump/Russia machine.
