Donald Trump's Polling Numbers Plummet With Independents
Donald Trump's polling among independent voters is tumbling ahead of the presidential election, according to a new poll. In March, it was confirmed that Democratic incumbent Biden will face the Republican former president in November, with both winning enough delegates to secure their respective parties' presidential nomination, teeing up a 2020 White House rematch.
Since then, a number of polls have sought to predict the result of the presidential election. Some have suggested Biden is in the lead, while others have predicted Trump will be the victor. In general, though, the polls show the candidates are neck and neck—and with seven months until voters go to the polls, things are likely to change.
A crucial body of voters that the pair will need to court is independents. But, according to a Marist National Poll of 1,192 registered voters, Trump may find this difficult as his support among independents has declined from 38 percent in early April to 30 percent in a multi-candidate field that includes Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West and Jill Stein. Biden has increased his share from 33 percent to 34 percent among independents, and Kennedy's support among independents has increased to 27 percent from 21 percent.
When two candidates are offered, Trump and Biden are tied among independents and both have 49 percent of the vote. But in the previous Marist National Poll, Trump had a 7 percentage point lead over Biden among this demographic with 52 percent to Biden's 45 percent.

trump has done nothing to expand his base of support, and has done many things to basically piss people off, or at least turn them off towards him. I suspect he'll be down to his small die-hard contingency.
"Populists" very seldom have majority support. trump has never polled over 50%, except for maybe a couple of days at a time. 
It's why I refuse to panic over November. Still a lot of work to do, of course. No time for complacency. Frankly, I want to bury trump this fall, and his republican ass-kissers as well.
tRump is doing well enough pissing off even more people - but the 'ass-kissers' - they're the ones we really need to punch out. They are the ones who have worked to keep IQ45 in consideration and power within the party. With tRump gone and them 'still in charge' - who knows who they could come up with next.
We need their whole system/program/cult destroyed. THEY ALL MUST GO!!!!
