Does anyone believe that enough Trump voters in 2016 will vote dem in 2020?

I just don’t see that happening. I feel like if you voted for Trump the first time chances are you’re voting for him again.

I think he will get more voters and keep the ones he had. Just on the red side, I have seen a lot of folks that sat home in 2016 because they just did not like Trump and they have now come around seeing what he has accomplished.
The problem he will have is when Biden gets a minority running mate. I really believe a lot of minorities stayed home in 2016 because they just could not get behind Hiliary.

There is a 0% chance Democrats have won over any Trump supporters from 2016.
Remember, Trump didn't really win. He colluded with Russia to hijack the election.

I actually see more Dems voting for Trump because of what he has done with their pocketbooks.

It’s about enthusiasm as always

Very few if any that voted for Trump in 2016 will vote Dem in 2020...

I don’t understand what would cause an on the fence trump voter from 2016 to switch. What alternatives have been presented? What candidate is an improvement? What, policy wise, do they want done differently?

No but more dem voters will vote dem this time
Wouldnt surprise me with another 20% additional turnout.

It will all depend on turnout. The margins will be razor-thin again.

Yep I 100% see the turnout being increased on the democrat side. There will be serious allegations of fraud on both sides in multiple states due to how razor thin the margins will be.

Do you not see the turn out increasing on the R said too though?
Posted on 3/5/20 at 8:16 am to TDsngumbo
I think DEMs in places like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania were complacent in 2016. They just knew Hillary had it in the bag next to her bottle of hot sauce. So, turnout for them will be heavier in swing states. I think Trump has also won over new voters, so I expect that it will be a wash and he Trump wins again.

Trump could easily match any increased turnout on the Democrats' side though. Remember, in 2016 it was widely believed that Hillary had it in the bag, thus for a sure number of would-have-been Trump voters they blew off voting, was likely thought to be a waste of time. Those voters will make the trip this time.

You'd think that would be reflected in his job approval ratings, but it's not. The man hasn't gotten over 50% in 3 years of being president. That doesn't bode well for someone wanting to run for a second term.
And speaking of pocketbooks, mine has been on a steady increase since 2010 - more steady from 2012-2016, more volatile since 2016, but the trend hasn't changed significantly from one president to the next. I'm just not sure a lot of people see their finances improving that much more overall under Trump than Obama to swing very many voters over to Trump.
I think he may pick up more voters that would rather stay with the status quo than risk the unknown of what a new president might bring, more than voters swing to him because their finances are that much better.

Overall the economy is up, but the more important question should be focused on jobs, wages, and opportunities in Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
This is where Trump really flourished to win in 2016. Those states trusted that a Trump presidency would benefit them in their pocketbooks.
Did it? If so, he’ll retain those states.
He needs to ensure he snags Florida, which is one reason why Biden is a tougher opponent than Sanders. No way Sanders competes in Florida with his Castro support and the number of Latinos being Cuban.
Biden has more of a “blue collar” allure to him, so Trump will need to campaign on what he’s done for the Midwest if he wants to keep the voters that switched those states to red.

Trump will absolutely get more voters this time around. There were a lot of people on the fence about him in 2016. I just don't see any Dem candidates coming close to him. Sanders is really the only hope with Biden a distant second only because there's so many socialists in this country now; however, it will still be a landslide for Trump especially since the Dems refuse to let Bernie be the rep.

This is what I’ve said for a year here but have been downvoted to hell and back and told how stupid I was. Biden 100% appeals to blue collar workers and is the one reason why he is the only candidate that can beat Trump. Trump will have his work cut out for him, for sure.

I think you will also see a lot of people that voted 3rd party bc they didn't like Trump or Clinton, will vote Trump this time around.
Posted on 3/5/20 at 8:32 am to TDsngumbo
Trump will win the popular vote this time around, and wipe the floor with the Dims on the electoral votes. After 3 1/2 years, the Dims still haven't figured it out, and I doubt they will before November.
