(5,545 posts)is not the same as "Will you vote for". A large percentage of maga voters would vote for the devil if it meant voting against the Democratic party.
Also, even if only 33.3% of the electorate will vote for Trump, if 33.3% stay home and 33.3% vote for the Democratic candidate, the Republicans will still win given their disenfranchisement and gerrymandering.
I don't find much value in perusing Republican polls. I think that the only chance for hope is awakening and educating the ignorant and apathetic nonvoters. I don't think that most of those voters are "in the middle", I think that they don't know and/or don't care. The economy hitting the skids is likely to wake a bunch of them up. The Democratic party needs to be ready to educate these people who haven't been paying attention and won't know what the hell is happening. The Republican propaganda machine will sure be ready.
