A lot of sobering news for Dems in NYT/Sienna poll of battlegrounds, including 6% who'd vote for Biden but not Warren vs Trump nyti.ms/2NB5XCk
"All the leading Democratic candidates trail in the precincts or counties that voted for Barack Obama and then flipped to Mr. Trump."
"Nearly two-thirds of the Trump voters who said they voted for Democratic congressional candidates in 2018 say that they’ll back the president against all three named opponents."
"On average over the last three cycles, head-to-head polls a year ahead of the election have been as close to the final result as those taken the day before."
"The Biden voters who say Ms. Warren is too far to the left are relatively well educated and disproportionately reside in precincts that flipped from Mitt Romney in 2012 to Mrs. Clinton four years later."
"They oppose single-payer health care or free college, and they support the Republicans’ 2017 tax law. They are not natural Democratic voters: 41 percent consider themselves conservative; 20 percent say they’re Republican; 33 percent supported Mr. Trump or Mr. Johnson in 2016."
"At the same time, 41% of the voters who support Mr. Biden but not Ms. Warren say they agree with the statement that most of the women who run for president “just aren’t that likable,” likely bolstering concerns among some Democrats that sexism could be a burden on her candidacy"
"These Biden supporters are disproportionately male and working class. This group holds a variety of conservative views on cultural issues: 55 percent agree that discrimination against whites has become as big a problem as discrimination against minorities..."
"...; 79 percent agree that political correctness has gone too far; 54 percent would reduce legal immigration."
A female Trump voter who doesn't want to vote for him again doesn't like Warren, “There’s just something about her that I just don’t like,” she said. “I just don’t feel like she’s a genuine candidate. I find her body language to be very off-putting...."
"...She’s very cold. She’s basically a Hillary Clinton clone.”
As for female presidential candidates in general, she said, “They’re super unlikable.”
