Political Wire (paywall)Mark McKinnon calls this group of voters The Haters, since they dont like either partys nominee. Its a segment Trump did very well with in 2016. Exit polls showed Trump ultimately winning their vote over Hillary Clinton, 47% to 30%.
But thats not happening this time. According to the poll, Biden holds a huge lead over Trump among these voters, 55% to 21%.
As pollster Patrick Murray explained: Clinton was the insider candidate who approximated an incumbent in many voters minds. There is no mistaking who wears that mantle this year. Trumps problem is that voters who arent enamored with either candidate tend to go for change.

(12,265 posts)I hardly talk to her anymore. We used to work for the same Democratic candidates until Bernie, now she hates all of them and thinks they are all against Bernie and her for some reason. Granted she was running with some really rapid Bernie supporters but it is crazy what she is saying.
