Example Sentences
“Voters don’t shift dramatically over a short period of time,” Cornell Belcher, Obama’s pollster, said recently.
Belcher said Trump’s bizarre and at times racist antics on the trail — and his campaign’s intense focus on issues that don’t directly affect many Americans, such as transgender healthcare — are contributing to his poor or stagnant performance in recent polling.
Belcher said he doesn’t see Trump building support beyond his base, and believes Harris is going to win thanks to large turnout that gives her the votes that are out of Trump’s reach.
Cornell Belcher, a pollster who worked for both Obama campaigns, said polls can’t predict who is going to win a race, but the Iowa Poll does provide a “signal in the noise” that Trump is “not closing strong” and is not capturing voters beyond his existing base — which won’t be enough for him to win an election with high voter turnout, as this one may have.
“Trump is not performing well, even in places where he should be performing well,” Belcher said.
