Trump continues to fare very poorly in possible match ups against Democrats for 2020.
We tested Hillary Clinton against Trump this month for the first time, mostly as a
baseline for comparison against other possible Democratic candidates, and Clinton leads
Trump by 5 points at 47/42. 3 Democrats we tested clearly perform more strongly against
Trump than Clinton- Joe Biden who leads by 13 points at 53/40, Bernie Sanders who
leads by 11 points at 51/40, and Michelle Obama who leads by 10 points at 51/41. Biden
and Sanders both win over 10% of people who voted for Trump last fall while losing
almost no Clinton voters.
Other Democrats we tested against Trump are Cory Booker who leads him 47/40,
Elizabeth Warren who leads him 47/41, Kirsten Gillibrand who leads him 42/39, and
Kamala Harris who leads him 41/40. The percentage support the Democrat gets in these match ups varies from 41% to 53% probably depending on their name recognition, but
Trump's support is pretty constant in the 39-42% range against all of these possible
challengers.
Voters also wish by a 52/41 margin that Barack Obama was still President instead of
Trump.

Trump will never be more popular than the day he was elected with a minority of the popular vote. The Electoral College can only be so much of a vote magnifier.

OP
Charlie Manson would get 40% of the vote if he had an (R) after his name.

Agree, including about Manson. Collaborators enabling those 25% are the problem.

It's nice sometimes to remember how things are in the real world AND to see that the internecine battles occurring here on an almost daily basis aren't taking the party down.
THANK YOU for this.

It should be 75-25 across the board, allowing for 25% of the idiots and bigots.

What these polls don't show is how many of them would VOTE for Rump all over again or Rump against any of the Democrats named.
