NDN's Weekly Polling Round-Up
As we enter the 2020 general election campaign in earnest this summer, NDN will be providing our latest thoughts on the structure of the race and how we believe the election will unfold. Each Thursday, we will focus on a new subject area important to the election, and will update our aggregate of the most important polling data (in our view) for understanding where the 2020 election currently stands.
Analysis: Biden running strong, a look at Hispanic voters, Senate leans Dem, more - Simon Rosenberg, NDN, 9/18/20 - Biden retains a strong and healthy lead nationally, and in the battlegrounds. Despite some chatter, Biden doesn't seem to be struggling w/Hispanic voters. Scale of Trump's cheating continues to be a threat to the integrity of our democracy and the election.
Analysis: Biden Retains A Sturdy Lead, Focusing On The President’s Cheating - Simon Rosenberg, NDN, 9/10/20 - In our weekly poll roundup we find Joe Biden retaining a sturdy lead nationally, and in the battlegrounds. We remain aghast about the rampant electoral cheating we are seeing from the President - it's a more serious issue than people understand right now.
Analysis: Biden Taking Control of the Race, Trump Goes On A Crime Spree - Simon Rosenberg, NDN, 9/3/20 - The first round of post-Convention polls show Joe Biden is on the verge of taking control of the race. As his campaign struggles, the President appears to be expanding his shadow efforts to illicitily hold on to power.
Analysis: Another Week of Ghastly Polls for the GOP, Loud Dems, Trump’s Illiberalism - Simon Rosenberg, NDN, 7/25/20 - Our weekly look at 2020 polling finds more brutal poll numbers for the GOP, Dems building a 2020 jaggernaut and mytification and worry about Trump's emerging strategy for staying in power.
Analysis: Should Dems Go For It? - Simon Rosenberg NDN, 7/9/20 - The Biden campaign faces a big strategy choice in the coming days - how manystates to play in? How big shoulld the battlefield be? Argument for going big is very compelling right now.
Analysis: Another Brutal Week of Polls for Trump/GOP- Simon Rosenberg, NDN, 7/2/20 - Another week of really bad polling for the Rs - Electoral College gets harder for Trump, good poll for Bullock in Montana, is North Carolina joining FL and WI in slipping away?
Analysis: It's Bad Now for Trump/GOP, But It Could Get Worse- Simon Rosenberg, NDN, 6/25/20- To make the race competitive Trump is going to have to get up to 48.5/49, a place he’s never really been, and a place that just seems out for reach of him now.
Trump and GOP Struggles Continue, Under 45s, The Southwest - Simon Rosenberg, NDN, 6/11/20- Five months out, the numbers for the President and the GOP incumbents in the Senate are about as bad as they can be.
5 Months Out, Ds See Opportunity, Rs Trouble- Simon Rosenberg, NDN, 6/4/20- As we’ve written in our recent 2020 Polling Roundups, NDN has never been a subscriber to the Trump has magical powers school of political analysis. Without the help of Jill Stein, Russia, and the Comey Letter, Clinton would have likely beaten Trump by 5-8 points in 2016.
Trump’s Plummeting Poll Numbers Clearly Threatening McConnell’s Majority Now - Simon Rosenberg, NDN, 5/28/20 - Conventional wisdom has not yet come to terms with how bad recent polling has been for Trump and Senate Republicans.
Biden Can Still Improve Among Young Voters, And There Is Reason To Belief He Will - Chris Taylor, NDN, 5/21/20 - In one area, Biden is underperforming Democrats' strength in 2018 - among younger voters. However, it is our view that there is good reason to believe that these voters will move to a large extent to Biden by November 2020.
The Public Doesn't Trust Or Support Trump's Coronavirus Response - Chris Taylor, NDN, 5/14/20 - It is clear that the public doesn't support Trump's response to this crisis, doesn't trust him to tell the truth about it, and overwhelmingly opposes his new re-opening strategy.
Control Of The Senate Is Now A Toss-Up, With Democrats Perhaps Slightly Favored - Chris Taylor, NDN, 5/7/20 - A major new development in the past month has been a significant tightening of the race for the Senate majority, to the point where today Democrats probably are very slight favorites to win at least 50 seats.
The 2020 Election Is Shaping Up To Be A Lot More Like 2018 Than 2016 - Chris Taylor, NDN, 4/30/20 - NDN's central belief surrounding the 2020 election is that the race currently resembles the Democrats' significant victory in the 2018 midterms far more than it does Trump's win in 2016.
Democrats Begin The 2020 Election Where They Left Off In 2018 - Chris Taylor, NDN, 4/23/20 - It is our belief that the central theme of the 2020 election will be continuity with the 2018 midterms that saw Democrats win the House by a historic 8.6 percentage point margin in the popular vote. As a result, Trump has a lot of work to do if he wants to win a second term.
