The Democratic research group American Bridge is preparing a $50 million campaign to win over a slice of President Donald Trump’s base, and new polling has convinced the organization that Trump is vulnerable on pocketbook issues, especially health care, among white working-class voters.
Several health care questions were worse for the president. Just 25 percent of respondents gave Trump a positive rating for “reducing health care costs,” compared to 67 percent who rated him negatively, while they split against Trump 39-51 on “taking on the drug and pharmaceutical companies.” Voter-file analysis recently conducted by Catalist, the Democratic data firm, indicated that the party’s gains in 2018 House races were actually strongest in rural areas, not the suburban ones that got more media coverage, relative to the results of the 2016 presidential election. The gains “weren’t enough to get over 50 percent and win seats in many rural districts,” Catalist’s Yair Ghitza
“We have to recognize Trump’s strengths, and one of them is that he’s a very good healer,” Beychok said, referencing Trump's ability to rebound from negative news during the 2016 election and anticipating that the president’s general election strategy will focus on keeping his base animated.
I should hope so.
Oh, so we are supposed to trust the Communist Party, oops, TheDemocrats polling on realDonaldTrump supporters? Yea right. 4MoreYearsofLiberalTears
VERY FAKENEWS AGAIN!!!
MAGA MAGA2020 KAG2020 PatriotsUnited TrumpTrain2020 The GOP Republicans have done zero to create an affordable healthcare plan as Trump promised. But then again, they've only had years.
Maybe Trump's base will take his corruption seriously if they know he doesn't care about their health. TrumpCorruption
AND AMERICAN BRIDGE IS WRONG. DID YOU LOOK AT THE DATA? WAS IT PUT TOGETHER LIKE A TWO YEAR OLD WOULD DO TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK GOOD. TRUMPS BASE IS GROWING. OU JUST MAKE TRUMP STRONGER AND MORE AND MORE PEOPLE KNOW YOU ARE LYING WRETCHED HACKS. 👍😂😀
Farmers and coal miners are on welfare
‘Politico’ thinks we Americans are totally stupid to believe phony liberal polls once again..after the Democrat’s ‘game’ of putting false polling out to voters during 2016 election. ‘Fool me once, shame on you’...
Shocking...
As long as our 401k keeps growing, we are working, we have our gun rights, and taxes stay down... we will stay Republican. If you worked your whole life and just wanted to let people earn their own stuff, you’d be Republican too.
Go after him dems. What are you afraid of?
45 is vulnerable on the moral meter. Check it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
And HillaryClinton is president too
nana4MANY Some lessons simply cannot be learned I see.
He’s a disgrace, a stain on the Presidency. Trump voters hate America it’s that simple. They seek to harm their own country or they’re too stupid to realize what they’re doing. I watch trump voters praise him and omg they’re uninformed people, holy shit
No matter the sensible policies offered by Dems, they will not trust 'promises' to help, Trump will play on their racism & lie to them. They will vote for him because the racism will feel authentic to them.
Democrats are the party of socialism vote the bums out
No matter what they claim their priority is, ultimately voters will vote against the party that has taken money out of their wallets and, this is the important part, given nothing in return. In 2.5 yrs, Rs have given no infrastructure, no education, no healthcare, no clean air.
Hahahahaha!
But, will those voters turn out? The 'I hate foreigners and I hate abortion' people will turn out.
He's vulnerable to those with common sense
DumpTrump2020
Kids in cages? And he's vulnerable on 'pocketbook issues'
Interesting that he's not vulnerable on moral issues. Or issues of character. Or competence.
Den zeigen wirs😅
Trump is in court RIGHT NOW trying to eliminate healthcare coverage for people with pre-existing conditions... Trump should be impeached. Terrible president.
This Fool Will Lose ..This Time For Sure ! Don’t Needed a Bias Poll Trump is a Criminal, a Disaster, a Cruel And Confused Unknown Species ! It’s Not Gonna Work This Time....
. Citing Polls that are inherently biased shows your fealty to the Democratic Socialist Ideology.
He ought to be vulnerable among all Americans who care about our democracy. If you don't then get the hell out of our country.
Russia will fix everything.
That's assuming they're rational voters who make political decisions based on their financial best interests. STOP ASSUMING. The hope is just to out-vote them until they all die off.
He puts kids in cages. And allows the gun lobby to shoot the rest of the kids at school
Bullshit
BS.
Bury him in 11/20
Oh, another poll that doesn't mean shit.
Ah, yes.
Exploit it Dems.
Lowest unemployment! Record markets! GDP above 3%. Yes, freebies for all, that’s all Bolsheviks have left to offer
But not his mental illness or lack of moral compass
OMAHAGEMGIRL the polls are behind decent political instincts
What a shit lead. Next, Politico will start hawking how bad Medicare for All is except that’s exactly what all these voters want in some iteration or another. So which is it? Trump is weak or supremely invulnerable? Because this info is common sense.
Just wait until they see what the unhinged far left Dems have in store, too far left.
Well, yeah. Most of those “white working-class voters” used to be Democrats.
Yang2020
Is TheDemocrats a party of the rich or a party of the little guy? For many years, they’ve been the party of the rich playing a good game of pretending to be for the little guy. In economic issues they sock it to the average Democratic working-class voter
The dems have the best polling lololol
...right, just throw money at it, that’ll fix it. losers
Fake poll's from the Dems.
Poor Democrats, it must be hard looking back at the extensive poor decisions made by the previous administration. I’m voting for Trump again. God Bless Him.
Out of wild-assed curiosity, didn't polling also tell us that Hillary was going to trounce Trump and win the election? Didn't she even pay for fireworks in advance based on the polls? Yep, follow the polls.
He is vulnerable. The tax bill cost me an extra $7000 this past year. Oh, and I think he’s a narcissistic prick, so, yeah, he’s vulnerable.
On pocketbooks and kids in cages issues!
😂 how was polling in 2016?
But not the incompetence, criminality and human rights abuses?
He’s orange..
Healthy activity.
How many diapers, toothbrushes, soap and vaccinations would that same $50 million buy at the border 'for the children'? Asking for a friend.
Trump has a huge war chest and will convince people who aren’t doing better that he has improved their lives while he plays on their fears, racism and misogyny. So many buy Trump’s lies
He’s been vulnerable since 2015. This incessant drumbeat of reasons people should believe he’s going to lose has grown to a deafening roar and still seems no more indicative of the final outcome. His continued success indicates you’re missing something.
Good luck wit da
Mr. Cuddy doesn’t look well! Cult45
Trump is not a Democrat and that will ultimately be the difference
Taking the non-rich white ppl long enuf to realize poor means poor no matter what color u are. This is $$$ vs the masses. They'll gladly pander to ya'll for pure aesthetics - in the end ya'll coming with us - the masses.
Convincing the TrumpTards what a vile, odious and despicable excuse for a human being realDonaldTrump is won't be easy, but, I'm ready, willing and able to donate serious $$ to the cause! I'm in! 👍🏼🇺🇸
I really believe the best way to deal with Trump's base is to deport them
Well if they are handing out millions...
PeteButtigieg 🇺🇸 is and has been dealing with real crisis at the ground level, directly in front of people in South Bend, talking, engaging, solving issues that are not easy. Do you see any other candidate doing this? Trump? Worthless... Democrats get! on! board! 2020
Trump’s base votes against their economic interests because of their racism, bigotry, and fundamentalism. Hopefully some open their eyes.
His base is small business owners. We, ended up with triple costs to take care of those people not on it! I support those who worked prior & needs help. Not the ones sitting on their asses!
Instead of wasting your money, use it for something beneficial like world hunger or curing cancer. realDonaldTrump
YOU WISH!!!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
