But this is great news. May the best person win !!!

Somewhere, in some smoke-filled GOPee meeting room, plans to "elevate" Pence to the presidency are hatching - big time.

In 2020..but will be so soiled

Trump doesn't have 41%.

...is “how does this fall state-by-state?” As we learned last time around, to oust Trump, we’re either going to need to flip all three of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, or find a way to flip other Trump states with the same number of electoral votes. Otherwise, all we’ll get is a larger popular-vote margin in the same blue states, while 45 gains another electoral college victory. So, which of these candidates will do that?

It would take a Herculean effort by Putin to get Cheeto over the top in those states.

and after Trump I suspect there are alot of Americans who probably feel the same way and might vote for such a ticket.

Likes different people at this point.

Yes, Beavis and Butthead are far more empathetic than Trump. They got my vote (if they are "D&quot

Astonishing that this fraud could possibly poll that high still. But you know, I learned a long time ago that you just can't argue with the true believer. You can't reason with a cult.

no surprise it's difficult to do many common sense things. and they have more power even if they are a minority.

Biden, are essentially at the same point. (The difference with Biden may be name recognition) My takeaway is that this poll is mostly a referendum on Trump. Note how little difference there is in his number. What varies is the number who refuse to choose and a small difference (46 to 48 when the alternative is Warren, Gillibrand, Pelosi or Schumer.)

What would be instructive is to look back to where past Presidents polled vs generic (the other party) at this point in time. Then consider that of 1980, 1986, 1992, 1996, 2004, 2012 -- only 2004 was close. while it is conventional to say that the approval number at this point is useless because there is a lot of time for things to change. The counter is that over the entire 2 years he has been President, he has been below 40 far more often than above 45 - something not true for the even the losing Presidents.

PS I think Nancy's numbers will rise because more than anyone she has been consistently focused on making government work - and right now, working to open the government.

National popular vote doesn't tell you who would win the election, though at least the spread here is greater. Still, I'd like to know how these candidates fare against Trump in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Organize, craft a stellar campaign, and work for every vote. There are too many offices and too much at stake to risk a repeat of 2016, when collective overconfidence resulted in a President Trump. 2018 was an important step, with more action needed!
