I can’t explain why it isn’t showing in the polls, but in this Red State of mine where all of the Trump supporters were very vocal, especially the NAGAt Acquaintances of mine have lost their edge, keep their opinions to themselves now, don’t defend him to me any longer.
My work requires me to travel a 300 mile radius of Memphis in TN, MS, MO, KY, AL, & AR. And with only a few exceptions, it is obvious there has been a change. There are even some complete flips and a lot of neutral - undecided, but getting them to discuss it is very difficult now.
With these Red State Governors defying social distancing and with infections aggressively increasing, there is abundance of caution by older citizens.
None of them are cursing Trump, but at worst, they will stay home instead of vote.
But I can’t explain why I don’t see any movement in the polls. I thing scientific about it, only my observations.
