  1. So, still 13 points ahead.  I’d say make it make sense, but I think the fact that this is literally about the less-educated sums it all up  

    “According to the poll, Trump’s lead among the demographic has been slashed by 13 points since May, when Biden was still the presumptive candidate for the Democratic Party. In a New York Times/Siena College poll conducted between April 28 and May 9, Trump was 26 points ahead of Biden among white non-college-educated voters when third-party candidates were included—with 52 percent to his opponent’s 26 percent.

    Trump is now only 13 points ahead among white non-college-educated voters, with 53 percent to Harris’ 40 percent when third-party candidates are included. “

  2. Sure… Sure.. Newsweek we are on to you, you are just trying to make the Democrats complacent.

    Headlines like this don’t matter, vote.

    Vote early, vote often, and get your friends out to vote as well.

    Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
    *It is past due time America takes back that folk saying away from the idiot speak of GW Bush.*

  4. Everything is in play. I don’t think even Melania’s vote is a lock for Trump at the moment.

  5. That’s great, but I don’t trust those numbers. Maybe it’s the fact that I grew up in the south, but I don’t see any way Kamala cuts Trump’s lead among the uneducated white people in half.

  6. Even his beloved “poorly educated” have woken up to the fact that is he is a grifter rapist fuck.

    Anecdotal but I was in Alabama this month and didn’t see a single Trump flag or sticker the whole time. Maybe the enthusiasm isn’t there anymore

    It’s sad there was ever support from the working class in the first place. I don’t know where this myth came from that the Republican Party is the party of the working class. They don’t do anything but obstruct legislation that helps all Americans including the working class. The entire point of the modern day Republican Party is to rule poor and middle class people under the control of billionaires.

  9. He only remains popular with the bigotted, deplorables, neo nazis, evangelicals ( god knows why🤦‍♂️), his fellow pedos and rapists, and other fringe demographics.

  10. Here in Southeast Texas, I still see plenty of Trump flags. I’ll vote Harris, but I’m not hopeful of a blue wave hitting here.

    That means my existence is contributing to the 40 electoral votes we’re likely to give Trump. We’re trying, guys, but… sorry.

  11. UAW literally came out and called him a scab. Trump doesn’t give 2 shits about the working class.

  12. Part of these were low-propensity voters who only turned out because of his swagger and his potential (to them) to “shake up the system.” His swagger isn’t so impressive anymore, nor is he an outsider anymore. He’s showing his age, asking *them* to save *him* (what badass asks you to save *him?*), and is really all over the map. The Christian Nationalists will be all-in for him because he’s their route to a theocracy, but all the other groups are starting to reconsider. Low-propensity voters aren’t going to veer over to the Democrats (too much South Park Centrism for that), but they may just get bored and not bother turning out.

  13. Well laughing at striking workers like some cartoonish turn-of-the-century robber baron probably isn’t good for optics.

    But a lot of racists will ignore this anyway

  14. Conservatives are an EXTREMELY self-interested lot. They want to hear something that they will benefit from. This is a big reason of why plans matter. So far Trump has not offered ANYTHING for the future of America. Last time around he at least had the whole “Build the wall and make Mexico pay for it” stig. This time…..nothing. No plan, no ideas, no direction, no help for the little guy even if it comes through (as so many of them are hoping for) suppressing the guy/gals one step lower than them on the totem pole. Nothing.

    If you want to win the presidential election you have to offer something to the people that they want. You can’t just stand in front of a camera and only talk shit.

  15. At this point, Trump is no better than a YouTuber. It is so hard to relate to a mere YouTuber when you are juggling 2,3 jobs to make ends meet from paycheck to paycheck because all Trump does is talk gibberish and does nothing but b^itch.

    We all feel the lispy shriveled mandarine is nothing but a lazy mf and not trustworthy.

  16. Trump is planning not to accept the 2024 election results if he loses and so why would he care if he loses voters? He clearly does not care.

  17. Why would anyone think he would help the working class…he’s known best for firing people, or not paying those that have worked for him.

    The trust fund billionaire asshole that rips off contractors is having a hard time connecting with working class people. That’s strange. Wait until they hear he’s also a sexual predator….

  19. I wonder if it’s because he doesn’t represent us? Maybe I’m off base here. He has no policy about anything. He praises Musk for illegally firing people trying to get better working conditions. It’s a head scratcher for sure.

    How could a silver spooned toxic billionaire who hates unions and spent his whole life ripping off and trashing workers suddenly lose support with the working class?
