When I tell you that this new poll from CNN is STUNNING news for Trump, I am not exaggerating or pulling your chain. This is dynamite stuff, folks.
So, the bottom line is that CNN conducts this poll over the coveted and very sought=after “swing voters.” These are the voters who make or break or your campaign – the “independents” who can easily swing one way or the other.
Well, the results of that CNN poll shows that those people – those very coveted swing voters – are very firmly with President Trump.
And I am not saying they want Trump by a “little,” I am saying it’s a freaking LANDSLIDE.
And, each month for the past 17 months, I’ve had a unique window into the Americans largely responsible for giving the president his slim Electoral College victory: so-called “Obama-Trump” swing voters across the upper Midwest.
Our Swing Voter Project has uncovered that many of these people, who live in places such as Canton, Ohio; Davenport, Iowa; Erie, Pennsylvania; and Macomb County, Michigan, prefer Trump over Biden. In fact, 22 of 33 respondents in these four most recent locations feel this way.
I mean, this poll has to be a gut-punch to CNN. And it’s just further proof that these polls that the media (yes, even Fox News) are putting out are phony.
All of this is rigged to make it look as if there’s a huge “contest” afoot.
Now, I am not saying we can sit back and cruise to victory – that’s impossible with the Dems throwing feminine and plagues at us…but I will say that this “Biden is winning” narrative is hogwash.
Not only are they overwhelmingly with Trump at this point, upon reflection, these voters who voted Obama and Trump would now vote for Trump over Obama in a hypothetical match-up, according to Thau.
While he notes it’s possible they still change as we move ahead, he explains why most are still supporting Trump.
Beyond the numbers, though, it’s critical to understand why so many of them continue to support Trump.
They think a businessman is best suited to turn the country around economically. They feel Covid-19 was not Trump’s fault, and he’s doing the best he can to contain it. They conflate the Black Lives Matter protesters with the rioters attacking federal buildings and retail shops. They don’t want historic monuments torn down. And they dismiss defunding the police as ridiculous.
In other words, as I previously wrote, Americans are seeing the violence and putting the blame squarely on the left. That’s not helpful to Biden and these voters are feeling it too.These voters tell me they want America finally to be put first; they oppose immigration and trade policies they say give benefits to foreigners at their expense. And they want a non-politician who relentlessly fights back, after witnessing too many office holders fold in the face of special interests.
These voters may sound like typical Fox News watchers, but, significantly, the overwhelming majority are not. Many are, instead, people who get their news disproportionately from local television, regional websites and Facebook. Compared to the kinds of people who seek out news from national cable channels, many swing voters reside in a national politics desert.
This new information should make a lot of nervous Trump supporters feel a helluva lot better.
It’s tough with these polls, even though we went through this back in 2016, it’s still very easy to get “gaslit” and nervous by them. I see it a lot with Trump supporters online and I don’t blame them.
Our media is evil and they will pull out every trick in the book to try and give Biden the edge, so you need to get used to looking past the smoke and mirrors for the truth.

And this poll here is exactly that type of “truth.”
