Why is Peters still so unknown?


If you're Peters campaign manager, what do you do to increase his name recognition?

He needs some ads where he's on his motorcycle, that should help.

Best poll for Trump in days

Best poll for Trump in days

And he’s at 41%. Pretty telling

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

Changes with March 16-20 poll

With leaners:

Biden 46% (+2)
Trump 41% (n/c)
Someone else 7% (+1)
Refused 1% (n/c)
Won't vote 0% (but some voters) (-1)
Undecided/don't know 5% (-1)

[wbrocks67]

7% "vote someone else" is really junky, but the bottom line here is that Trump is still mired in the low 40s with a -13 favorable rating compared to Biden's +3

[psychprofessor]

Trump isn't winning a state with horrendous approvals while his opponent is actually in positive territory.

This poll had Hillary +5/+8 in mid-October 2016.

And Biden is under 50%. Undecided Midwestern-Whites went heavily for Trump last time around.

[Gass3268]

Biden surging.

This poll had Hillary +5/+8 in mid-October 2016.

Polls have changed as a result of 2016. If anything they may be too favorable to Trump now. And still, he is underperforming himself from 2016 in COUNTLESS more places/polls than Biden is Hillary. Both compared to the actual results and to polls taken before the election. Cherrypicking one poll like this, where Trump is stuck at 41% and much less favorable than his opponent (Hillary never had that advantage), is meaningless.
