Analysis: What’s driving Republican enthusiasm to vote? Trump. Democratic enthusiasm? Trump.

But if you dig into the Pew numbers a little more, you discover something interesting. Yes, Trump supporters are more fervent in their support — but they’re no more likely to say they will certainly stick with Trump.

What gives? How could it be the case that people are more lukewarm about Biden but just as committed to sticking with him?Given the chance to answer however they wanted, more than half of Biden supporters say that the reason they plan to vote for Biden is that he is not Donald Trump. Only a fifth of Trump supporters say that it’s Biden driving their support for the president.In other words, those Biden voters who are so committed to him are committed to him because he is not the incumbent.

This sentiment is reflected in Pew’s question about how people would respond to the results of the election. If Biden wins, three-quarters of Biden supporters say they’ll feel relieved as opposed to excited. Only a bit over a third of Trump supporters say they’d be angry.Pew’s poll, like so many other polls of late, suggest that first outcome is more likely.

The biggest shift away from Trump came from married men, who went from backing Trump by 30 points to backing him by nine. That group made up more than a quarter of voters in 2016. The biggest shift to Trump came from Hispanic Catholics, who went from preferring Clinton by 59 points in 2016 to backing Biden by 32, a 27-point shift. But it’s also a group that made up only 5 percent of the 2016 electorate.Also noteworthy: he movement among White men without a college degree.

Trump has a few months to move those numbers around, of course. But if the election comes down to how people feel about him, the result seems easy to predict.

Trump Can't Be Racist Because He Donated Money To Kamala Harris, Says Trump CampaignPresident Trump has already gleefully taken to calling Sen. Kamala Harris—Joe Biden’s official 2020 running mate— “nasty” and “mean,” but he must not have thought she was so bad when he donated $6,000 to her re-election campaign.\n And he’s friends with Kanye. You can be racist if you have acknowledged that someone is black. Noticing someone is black is the pinnacle of anti-racism

Team Trump struggles to define Kamala HarrisIf the last 24 hours is any indication, the president’s reelection campaign has yet to settle on a coherent strategy to counter Joe Biden’s vice presidential pick. She's just another Fracking Monster like JoeBiden. Her state is literally on fire where all the below fracking locations are and she just lets everything burn. No they aren't. She's a childless hag who wants to end private health insurance, ban fracking and force taxpayers to pay for illegal alien's healthcare. She's another fraud who pretends that she's going to fight systemic racism when in actuality her grandfather was a slave owner in Jamaica.
