on his hands — but Republican voters are nevertheless turning out in droves for him, a warning sign for Democrats in November.
While it’s unclear what the figures might portend for the general election — the president's job approval numbers remain stuck in the mid-40s in most surveys — the results highlight the degree to which Trump’s base is energized. A little more than a year after the president’s party suffered sweeping losses in the midterm elections, Republicans are bent on ensuring that Trump wins a second term.
Couvillon has also been monitoring early totals in Tennessee, which holds its primary on March 3. Despite the lack of a serious contest, Republican turnout in the state isRepublicans such as Ralph Reed, the founder and chairman of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, said Trump’s record on issues dear to conservatives drove turnout in the first two states. He and others said Democrats' recent impeachment push also motivated his supporters.
Trump lost 40 congressional seats and by 18 million votes. You forget that?
massive to his standards maybe
Pollitico is pro-republican. Many stories are slanted to be anti-democrat.
So they are showing by appearance to the world they are fools.
And Iowa also votes Steve King, Grassley and Ernst into office. Easily manipulated with the propaganda they are fed.
Trump was never good with numbers. Hence his casinos go bankrupt & his golf clubs are circling the drain.
biggest mistake democrats made k 2016?, picking Hillary over BernieSanders ... biggest mistake they made right after?, Russia and the impeachment SpeakerPelosi is the biggest failure
So how about we nominate someone with strong grassroots support and a highly energised base *cough* Bernie *cough*.
Kick trump ass in 2020
Opinion: Iowa=home of the 3 king food moguls=control of our food supply. Literally. Read your labels:how many items have corn syrup in them? If it's an ingredient, maybe not needed to say it's from GMO crops that R resistant to Roundup=has roundup in them when harvested.
New Hampshire had 347,000 votes for Democrats...3 times as many as Trump.
How many votes went to democrats
They're not Republicans. They're Trump supporters. Not the same.
IA is 92% white. NH is nearly 95% white. IA has 4 electoral votes. NH has 6 electoral votes. So what’s your point? Stupid click & bait.
Wonder how many are implanted votes. As we know only 40% want trump in office so unless they all live in NH I sense voter fraud already
Not true
He’s the only one on the ballot..
Trump must be defeated. I think we can do it!
You ain't seen nothing yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weren’t over 10% of the Republican votes for someone other than Trump? That 10%, willing to come out in the cold to vote in a truly forgettable primary election cycle, are a sign of problems for the GOP. They’ll need each of those votes to win in November. VoteBlue2020
Towns recorded no votes for him when they tabulated the ballots, that’s not “droves” 🤦🏻♀️
cmarinucci I think the town of Morton Grove has more people.
Why is turnout in a virtual uncontested Primary news. This is like covering a Putin election. Please this is not a harbinger of what it means for Nov.
Game over..
This has to be skewed results. 1. Trump only Republican on ballot for most part. 2. average for 2020 with 2016 count.
Why is that a warning sign other than they’re trying to skew who trump runs against - they’ll do anything to keep themselves in power
realDonaldTrump will lose the election,Barrested,indicted &,ultimately, imprisoned.WITH DonaldJTrumpJr & IvankaTrump. We’ll never forget what this family’s done to OUR Country.UR name will be recorded as the most vile in American history & UR kids will have to live with that.
It's ok, cnn still says the worst dems still beat trump.....bahahaha
Yes but in NH, 15,000 voted for GOP other than Trump, in a protest vote they knew didn’t matter. NH shows his base is fired up, but shows no proof that it is ever expanding. Meanwhile Dem turnout was +12%. If Dem turnout close to +12, and GOP turnout +5 or 6, Dem landslide.
The 2018 midterms and the last two Governor races in red states tells me all I need to know
We are the Majority HRC didn't won the popular vote by over 5 million without help from Russia!
Well he pays them to be there. No worries at all. If not paid how many would be there?
It’s obviously not only Republicans
Now do the Dems
300,000+ Democrats, Independents, REPUBLICANS, and others voted in the New Hampshire Democratic primary.
Problem is how much hype from Russia is being driven towards his being re-elected
Ludicrous statement .. “droves”? There’s 3 mil people in Iowa 31k is pathetic
Iowa 2016: 45k Trump (24% of 180k total, 2nd place) New Hampshire 2016: 100k Trump (35% of 300k total, 1st place) How are these numbers impressive again? He was campaigning for the last three years, has 90% party approval and THIS what all that effort brings out?
Well what do you expect?
BlueVotr Politico has no credibility. Bernie is going to win we need know warnings from you. If the democrat's come out and vote they will win .If the party splits they can loose. Looking at the Berners The D.N.C can stay a private O.R.G. There are way more for Bernie then Trump REAL FACT
andartissa That's your message? Turnout was low for both parties in Iowa, high for both in NH. And in NH, 12% of GOP voters left their homes in the middle of winter to go vote for AnyoneButTrump like GovBillWeld. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica VOTEBLUEToEndGOPTerrorism
Its more of us than it is of them🇺🇸
Democrats turned out in record numbers surpassing Republicans.
As long as Bernie steps down ans his supporters don’t highjack the party again, Dems can deliver a victory.
Please recall: Not voting in primaries allows everybody who did choose who YOU end up voting for in November. Also recall, that some Republicans are voting in the Democrats primaries and caucuses for Sanders because they think 45 can beat Sanders. Don’t let others pick for YOU!
Wow. Red state. Voters voting republican. NOT NEWS. You are fearmongering for profit. Why '4th estate' is mow mothing more than low rent whorehouse.
Who’s going to vote for him? Too funny! We’ll find outfrom those barefoot and pregnant soon enough!
Republicans are like mushrooms , keep them in the dark , feed them shit and they multiply
Sheep go where they're led...
Guess it’s over then.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
U keep spitting fake news and propaganda n we keep electing trump. Maybe the left should focus on jobs n putting the correct ppl in bathrooms
The population of Iowa is over 3 million, New Hampshire is over 1.3 million. Those teeny numbers you quoted are very small droves...more like dribs.
This is bogus Politico propaganda. Trump, running unopposed, garnered fewer than 130K GOP votes in New Hampshire. Meanwhile, almost 300K voted for upmteen Democratic contenders in NH. If the Dems don't nominate a feckless centrist, the energy will be on their side come November.
Well I guess when you're the only candidate on the GOP ticket...
I mean he’s also like the only tru competition from the Republican Party
More sane people will vote Trump out this election! VoteTrumpOut2020
Country sick and tired of the Hate, obnoxiousness, double standards that Left Liberal TheDemocrats R allowed!
Feast your eyes
PEOPLE come to watch a show
It’s frightening how many Americans think Trump is not only acceptable but wonderful.
2016 republican primary: 283,000+ total votes in NH (100,000 for Trump) 185,000+ total votes Iowa (52,000 for Trump) Hardly 'turning out in droves'
Hillary won popular vote. Meaning: If media is telling us tht polls are always right & that having more votes means winning.. theyre clearly wrong So remember: Register & vote, dont let anything stop u from voting 4 ur conscience, we cant have Trump any more yrs (Ignoring trolls)
dems will lose. they can’t even unite behind one person. infighting is awesome. they wil win only the urban areas
I mean, you all do realize there are registered Democrats voting for Trump right?
Really? 😂😂😂😂😂
If I was a savvy dem in a state where you can register-vote-unregister I might want to inflate Trumps numbers, let him shift resources with false confidence. oh, did I say too much? oopsy
So in Iowa, Republicans cast 31,000 ballots and democrats cast 171,000. In NH, Republicans cast 129,696 ballots and Democrats cast over 300,000. I'd say the Democrats are turning out in droves!
Sounds good
Lies dont believe it
Who's okaying this drivel? You folks at Politico might be scared of Trump but the rest of us aren't !
whpresscorps If even HALF the votes for Dem candidates (total 176,574) in Iowa show up, Trump will lose. If even HALF the votes for Dem candidates (total 296,622) in New Hampshire show up, Trump will lose. Unless he gets his buddies in Russia (and maybe even China) to cheat again.

Trump2020LandslideVictory
Trump 2020! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
They (Dems/Media) don’t want to hear it! They act like MOST votes ever out of any incumbent in NH was no big deal🙄..... can’t wait till November! What a bunch of hypocrites! Trump2020 FourMoreYears
This battle was over before it started. If I were the DNC I would focus ($$$) on keeping the House, because it is very much in play, especially if Bernie is on the top of the ticket.
And if Bernie is the nominee, Trump wins in a 400+ EV landslide!
Get out and vote for anyone but tRump .
They sure are, in two of the whitest states in the country.
Let’s forget GovBillWeld got 9% and turn out was lower for them too
There's no one else to vote for. It's like Putin's 'elections'..
He puts on a show to DISTRACT his supporters from his plans to the CUT SOCIAL SECURITY and MEDICARE that they paid in to and make sure none of them can ever afford to send their kids to school or drink clean water from a kitchen faucet after their homes flood in monster storms.
Bloomberg is our only shot at defeating Cheetoh Benito!
The Intimidation Factor
'Trump received more than 31,000 votes in the Iowa caucus, surpassing the 25,000 Democrats who turned out during Barack Obama’s successful 2012 reelection bid. ' Ummm thats because Democrats have better things to do than turn up to vote for the only person on the ballot. 😂
We will beat Trump...
What exactly are the Democrats offering?
Better throw away most Bernie democrats and all independents that support Bernie
Vote blue no matter who
Nah. We’re gonna kick him to the curb. It’ll take work. But we can do it.
OrderChaosLife I'm sure that Bloomberg/Hillary ticket will really motivate all those Bernie voters to get up and march to the polls in November.
Thanks for a story based on the votes of the 1st two states on Republican enthusiasm for Trump. What a stretch. And I’m no mathematician - but 130K R votes against 300K D votes in NH - that sounds like you got your story’s theme backwards
He has been campaigning since he took office and if he wins again we will have 4 more years of him endorsing His daughter and his son as VP so nope he has to go!!!!
This is a page taken directly from 2016 Brexit plebiscite. Use media platforms to identify marginalized people who could vote. Then bombard them with propaganda to get them to reactivate their voting registration and to ultimately vote for Trump. Democrats must catch up!
Bought & Paid by the Kushner Criminal Enterprises!
Guys, vote Bernie. It’s the only way to beat Trump. Thanks.
How much do the Democrats really have to do to get out the vote? We saw this in 2018. The people that want Trump out of the WH is far greater, than want the evil bastard to remain there. The people that really want to vote, will go vote.
Can't wait to vote for him again, love watching the media take his bait everyday. Trump2020
You mean 'disinformation operation'. It's information warfare perpetrated against the american people and you should treat it as such.
If he wins again, I don’t think our constitutional republic will survive.
