Yes, this is quite a good poll for Dems. If it is accurate, it suggests that Dems (both Biden and Bernie) should pretty easily win MI and PA.

Manchin is a really, really lucky politician. It’s downright pathetic that Republicans weren’t even competent enough to flip a Democratic Senate seat in a Trump +42 state.

On this we can agree, republican operatives are some of the most biggest fu**cking morons in the country

This poll is not that great for Trump, if he is doing worse in WV than in 2016 it's hard to see how he can win PA again.
Now, it's a pretty well known fact that polls tend to underestimate republicans in West Virginia, Trump could probably cross the 70% symbolic line

Yeah, based on these previous polling numbers I'm pretty sure they're underestimating Trump and that Atlas is getting overly excited about them somehow being good news.

This would be Safe D with Big Don Blankenship/Richard Ojeda. It would also have mega coattails which would flip KY/The Virginia coal fields and OH as well.

Wait until Bernie does a rally in Wheeling. All those Republican leaders will be eating out of his hands!

Did you hear that he won every county in West Virginia in 2016?

If Trump is only winning WV 66-31, he is probably losing the EC. I would take this result in a heartbeat.

Even though Sanders swept WV in the 2016 primary, exit polls from back then indicated that among Democratic primary voters, 33% of them planned to vote for Trump against Sanders in the GE (36% of them for Trump against Clinton), which is a clear indication that Sanders wouldn't have been favored against Trump in the GE (remember that Bush & McCain each won 30% of Democrats in WV in 2004 & 2008, respectively).

If he wins WV by 35 points, compared to the 41 points he won it by in 2016, it almost certainly means he's losing PA because he's not getting the margins he needs in the T, and quite possibly NC and GA as well.

I know, you know, we all know, but red rose Twitter will just keep posting "HE WON EVERY COUNTY" and will put clap emojis between the words if we still disagree.

Ohio would be in heavy contention in such a hypothetical too.

I would suggest not to take the result of WV too literally. The state dramatically voted for Trump in 2016 and is likely to see to reverse a bit of that trend back. I also expected Biden and Sanders to do even better than this. The state isn't competitive. And I wouldn't draw conclusions based on this poll to extrapolate to other states. This is still a good poll for Trump. This is nowhere near a 2008 and 2012 result and such polls tend to underestimate Republicans.

I doubt Manchin runs again in 2024 (and if he does he probably loses), so it seems to me there isn’t a big political incentive to acquit.

Trump will surpass 70% in West Virginia, regardless of whether or not he’s re-elected.  I said the same thing some time ago.
