New Fox News WI poll has Biden doing 25 points better than HRC against Trump with RURAL voters

[highplainsdem]

Amazing swing.

No wonder Biden's beating Trump by 9 points overall in the poll.


https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-biden-bests-trump-by-nine-points-in-wisconsin

“Wisconsin is a tough nut for Republicans and the president has an uphill climb,” says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News Poll with Democrat Chris Anderson. “He needs to reassure rural voters who are spooked by the tariffs while persuading suburban voters to buy into his low tax/pro-growth economic vision.”

Trump won rural voters by 27 points in 2016. They now back him over Biden by only 2 points.

Emphasis added.



Noticed this poll detail thanks to a tweet from Dem pollster Will Jordan:

1. Without a doubt, Democratic voters would go with Biden if Hillary jumps in...

and those were the only choices. I sure would!!


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!! or
Elizabeth & Bernie 2020!!
Either way, welcome to the revolution!!!

3. They're talking about both Republican and Democratic rural voters. They're referring to GE polling,

and not the Democratic primary.

[BannonsLiver]

8. What a strange statement.

[cwydro]

9. No kidding.

Also illuminating.

16. No stranger than prominent DEMOCRATS suggesting Hillary should run...

even going so far as to say she's the ONLY one who can defeat Dolt 45!! Perhaps, Biden, who sposedly was the "only one," might take exception?

My point is only that, I would choose Biden over Hillary, if those were the only choices available, for several reasons, primarily his overwhelming superior qualifications as Obama's VP. Though, let me say, I would be dead-set against Hillary running for a third time in a row.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!! or
Elizabeth & Bernie 2020!!
Either way, welcome to the revolution!!!

19. Hillary is not running.

Why are you so stuck on Hillary? I sense real dislike there.

Who did you vote for last time? Curious.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

23. Hillary... happily!! Who wouldn't?!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!! or
Elizabeth & Bernie 2020!!
Either way, welcome to the revolution!!!

20. This is ridiculous.

Hillary is not talking about running, nor was there ever point in this election cycle where she was considering entering the race.

And I am not sure why you think she ran for president in the last two cycles. Obama ran unopposed in the 2012 Democratic primary.

I am very proud of Hillary for the campaign she ran in 2016. In an election where Donald Trump sought to divide us, Hillary ran on the slogan "Stronger Together." Being placed under a bogus FBI investigation would have been difficult for any candidate, and yet Hillary nearly won the election anyway. She would have won it easily had it not been for Comey, and I think she would have been a very good president.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

22. Comey screwed Hillary over, no doubt... what could have been!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!! or
Elizabeth & Bernie 2020!!
Either way, welcome to the revolution!!!

24. Thank you.

This.

2. Whoa !

[Dream Girl]

4. Yeah, can you think of any other candidates that would get these results?

[Thekaspervote]

5. No!! I can't Joe is the most bulletproof candidate. We cannot afford to take chances. MF45 must go

7. Biden doesn't suffer the massive misogyny of rural conservatives.

Hillary's approval ratings were very high as both a U.S. senator before her 2008 run and as Secretary of State between her 2008 and 2016 runs. But she hadn't been the first or even second woman to run for senator or be SoS. As a presidential candidate gender became an enormous factor.

10. Go Liz!

Proving again that she can beat Trump, despite barely campaigning in Wisconsin.

Trump won Wisconsin by less than one percentage point, and that was when he was relatively unknown and making promises he never kept. And that was when Clinton failed to show up a single time in the state during the last 10 weeks of the contest.

Wait until Warren gets Little Donnie on the debate stage and mops the floor with him!

[Drunken Irishman]

14. I keep waiting...

I hope you're right but Warren's numbers are almost identical to where Clinton was at this point in 2015 - both nationally, and now in a whole host of states the Democrats need to win to beat Trump. Warren, I think, can absolutely beat Trump but I keep waiting for her to actually show she can do so by a wider margin and, despite her numbers with Democrats improving, she's generally been consistently locked in a tight race with Trump in most major states. That is concerning, as it doesn't look like her numbers vs Trump are budging at all.

[Thekaspervote]

26. We must have a wider MOE than what EW has. It appears she has hit a ceiling with head to

Head numbers against dotard. Just can’t take that chance

11. Steady as it Goes, Joe Biden!

Thank you!

[Lexblues]

12. Biden beats Trump enought to put it out of cheating distance

We don't need to be up 2 or 3%. We need to beat Trump by double digits if possible.

[Drunken Irishman]

13. I think Warren can win Wisconsin but it will be an uphill battle.

It appears her polling is more closer aligned to that of Hillary's than Obama's in 2012. That's a concern because it means this race is shaping up to be extremely close with her on the ticket. And as we saw in 2016, anything close can shift at the drop of a hat.

15. trump has lost 25 points of support with rural voters as Biden leads him in the Badger State by 9%

17. This is not surprising to me. Biden connects with mid westerners.

[Gothmog]

18. Biden is the only candidate who is ahead of trump outside margin of error

25. Easy

This choice is easy. If we have a candidate who can make a significant cut into Trump rural support, we are going to win going away.

29. I'm all for bringing over Trump voters... however, it's a devil's bargain if it means--

we start subconsciously thinking that we need to focus on white male candidates because that's who West Virginia men will vote for.

I'll vote for Biden if he is our candidate. But I think we have to be careful not to let the Trump voters have too much influence on who WE choose as our candidate (esp as they are not making any promises here).

[Thekaspervote]

27. With numbers like that, it's really obvious who the best candidate is, and that's Biden

[dawg day]

28. The Y chromosome effect--

I'd vote for Biden, but I don't think we should be seriously swayed by the realization that rural white men vastly prefer white male candidates.

30. Can we hope that at least some of these voters got wised up

the hard way and have FINALLY gotten it through their heads tha Orange Julius ISN’T their friend?
