Nothing against Connecticut, but we typically win that state regardless of how many republicans flip.

But I never trust polls in WI because all my liberal friends are never polled.

CT always votes blue regardless of the candidate. Basically, we can count on those electoral votes regardless of the candidate.

And yes, I know we usually win Connecticut.

But I think it's important that this poll also found such a large percentage of Republicans who say they'd vote for Biden over Trump.

Btw, I don't know if they polled Republicans on other Democratic candidates vs Trump. Haven't been able to find any info on that yet.

Which would be of particular interest to the newspaper's readers.

Joe is the most electable candidate. If he can draw voters in the middle, he will rack up the wins.

That is important in this election. The victory can't be razor thin or trump will try to stay. It has to be yuge. It has to be decisive. Everyone needs to vote, not be childish and peeved their candidate didn't win.

I don't want a candidate republicans love. Tell me how your candidate can engage democratic voters and undecideds. I want a candidate that finally ends this shift to the right for good. He/she will have to be bold and unapologetically liberal to turn this country around for the poor and the middle class.

Republican voters may love Biden, but will they vote for Republican Senate and House, essentially neutering Biden?

We need a sea change in voter participation. Who will bring the young people to the polls? That's who we need to support.

I want Republican voters to stay home, honestly. They can't be trusted to choose leaders to run this country.

Personally, I think this number is a bit high.

But both regular polls and exit polls in 2008 showed that Obama got about 10% of Republican votes in that election.

That probably had a lot to do with his getting an electoral college victory and not just a popular vote victory.

I'll vote for him if he wins the primary, but we're leaving so many Americans behind by not running a democratic challenger they can get excited about. Hillary was an exceptional candidate and yet 2016 was stolen by suppressing vote, possibly manipulating votes, in swing states. We will lose the electoral college again, if we don't turn red states blue, like Texas. It's my opinion, we can't create a MASSIVE OVERWELMING turnout with an establishment, center left candidate like Biden. Young people could change everything and we have the opportunity to mobilize them by giving them a candidate that speaks to them. They are hurting. Ignore them at our peril.

We need turnout from all demographic blocs of the party, and from as many Trump-hating Republicans as possible.

The GE polls that have shown Biden doing better than any of our other candidates against Trump have been including young voters.

any President can keep are the ones that Republicans want anyway. All promises to Democrats are impossible.

My argument is that mobilizing young people will give us all all the levers of government to implement policies that help the middle and lower classes.

If we have the young voters, then our ideas of what we can and can't do will change dramatically.

a far-left candidate, we'll probably lose the House. With Biden, we'll keep the House and have a much better chance of retaking the Senate.

that number in 2020.

TY, hpd!
