White voters' embrace of Trump appears to be slipping in critical, predominantly white swing states

problem with white voters — or that he would be making gains with people of color. Even in the midterm elections, when suburbanites recoiled from Trump and Democrats retook the House, Republicans carried the white vote nationally by about 10 percentage points.

“It’s these older white voters that I think are the ones that are moving” away from Trump, said Jeff Link, a veteran Iowa-based Democratic strategist who has studied voters who turned from Barack Obama in 2012 to Trump in 2016. “The older people are like, ‘What the f--- is this guy doing?” But with the coronavirus and months of civil unrest on the electorate’s mind, “the two moving factors [in the election] may be the violence and the virus: The two V’s. Both parties are throwing ads and mail out on those two issues.” McCrory said, “There does seem to be a little flip” between Biden and Trump, with Biden courting working class whites and Trump “actually trying to go after the Black vote, and the Hispanic vote.

Not only do public safety-based appeals appear to be faltering for Trump, white voters “still really care about pocketbook issues, and that is the underlying issue that drives their vote,” said Zak Williams, a Democratic mail strategist based in Duluth, Minn., near where Biden campaigned Friday.

Fake news from a bot!

Trump have dementia? Can we inject disinfectant It will magically disappear Nuke a hurricane Sell Puerto Rico Is Finland part of Russia I know more than Scientists, Generals, Governors, Epidemiologists, everyone. DOES TRUMP HAVE DEMENTIA OR IS HE REALLY STUPID?

Iv family who are ardent Trumpits. Of course they could be Klansmen based on their thinking...and I have nothing to do with them. Not all whites are racists.

He’s gonna lose bigly!

Trump threw all Americans under the bus when he decided to use the virus to stay in power.

There is no way trumps closest to him in will tell him that he's losing white voters. Time to put a Big Mac and a coloring book in front of trump with nothing but praise from his diehard loyalists. And make sure he has a pack of different colored sharpies

Trump is the worst President in American history!

Maybe because people that voted for him as a joke (there are more than you think) realized that having an inexperienced, blowhard president is a dangerous thing?

No problem at all

I’m surprised any race would want to vote for trump!

I am white, 67 years old without a college degree and I could not or would not vote for this danger to our democracy.Trump is a self-absorbed, narcissistic, petulant man-child without the ability to think anything through clearly. I hope enough of us vote him and GOP out.

Trump honestly has nothing 2offer!He failed,farmers who were doing so well now costing taxpayers!He failed 200,000 lives 2 the pandemic!He is failing Senior who live off of SS, Medicare N Medicade,pre-existing condition,want 2 rid ACA,he failed DACA!We need a new leader!BIDEN💙🗳

Remember in november Biden will have a 98% chance to win the election..... but no!!! Ask Hillary about.

2016 had the WH with one party and the Senate with other, the people had spoken in the midterms. 2020 has the WH and the Senate with the same party, so again, the people have spoken in the midterms. Bring the new Justice asap !!!

Now the Hispanics and some in black communities are voting Trump.

He won't protect your interests. Except by accident. Never by intent.

He is not pulling no damn Black support !! Please stop the lying

Yeah, riiiight. And who do you think they're running to? Biden? Harris? Are you living under a rock, or are you living in a bubble? Dems are rioting, burning, looting and blaming the cops - what a strategy🙄 No one in their right mind outside DC would even consider Biden now!

Good ... but US people please recognise that electing uncle joe doesn't imply consent from the rest of us for new waves of bombing the shit and nicking oil and minerals from us. Better for everyone if the dollar returns home to roost and a new reserve currency peacefully emerge.

Wishful thinking.

It’s great he’s losing the support from voters because he is a fraud, deceitful, and has no place in the executive branch of the United States federal government.

MORE POLITICO BALONEY!!

Well it’s about time.

How many bigot can Trump get on the head of a pin? It's not how many he can get there, it's how big a lie he's willing to tell

Not really😜

Many of these white voters want the nation to know that they are not White Supremacists by voting against Trump!

What is a 'White' state? I didn't know states only had one group of people.

Trump lost ground with all the Americans.

More propaganda

😂😂😂😂😂

Wait for the next poll now that they're going to appoint an anti-abortionist justice.

Defund POLITICO.

And when Trump wins again we can tell you YOUR FAKE

Truth always comes out! No matter what u thought b4 of trump, the truth b4 us is blatant and in our hands! We will vote this sad excuse 4 human existence out of the WH. He's proven he can't be 'trusted'. Anything less is catastrophic! 'RIP RBG'

Nice try! Typical Dem propaganda ... you say it and expect sheeple to believe it. Stop WRITING the news and just REPORT it! VOTE RED! 🇺🇸

Just more evidence that Americans are realizing that Trump is a sinking ship and they will continue to jump off!!! BidenHarris2020 follow Goldee65

They don't want to label racists.

All I have to say is that I know some people who voted Trump in 2016 and aren't in 2020, so I would say Biden is definitely swinging some votes

If only this headline were true, sadly those fanatics forget this is not a dictatorship or totalitarian regime. They adore a “president” over loving their country, how patriotic 😆

Great news..... now hope it will be for real on 3rd of november.

Was it the buying Puerto Rican votes with taxpayer money? Was it dancing on Justice Ginsburg's grave? Was it the 200,000 COVID deaths? Was it the Senate rushing to confirm a nominee while American's can't put food on the table? What was it that finally put them over the edge?

ROFL Appearently you don't watch his rallies. Trump is going to pull a Reagan, paint the whole country red. MAGA Trump2020

Human voters wont vote for Trump either

Good to see some white dummies coming around finally.

In politics as in business, just give him enough rope and eventually he will hang himself

Lol.

He’s making up for that with huge gains elsewhere

Lol 😂 yeah right. “Alexa, find me an example of GASLIGHTING”
