Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: We're not voting for Bernie [View all]Autumn
(45,120 posts)99. Trump is losing support in two of the blue wall states.
I think Bernie will do well in PA, MI and we will see what happens with WI. Bernie has a good ground game.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-poll-shows-trump-faltering-in-blue-wall-states-he-carried-in-2016/
President Trump is in the Oval Office in large part because of his narrow victories in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, three states traditionally considered a "blue wall" which crumbled for Democrats in 2016. However, a new poll indicates that Mr. Trump may have trouble holding onto two of those states in 2020.
A Quinnipiac poll released Thursday found all top Democratic candidates leading Mr. Trump in Pennsylvania and Michigan. He trails Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar and Michael Bloomberg by 6 to 8 percentage points in Pennsylvania, and Bernie Sanders tops Mr. Trump by 5 percentage points in Michigan.
It's not all bad news for the Trump campaign, however, since the president leads all Democrats in Wisconsin by 7 to 11 percentage points.

You just described Bernie perfectly... Bernie is the Democrat who polls best against Dolt45.

Young people know that. They aren't stupid. Bernie has told them he can't do it by himself.
