In 2016, lots of people loved Trump, and lots hated him. Often the intensity of the support in either direction hides the actual quantity of the support. So I want to run a poll to see if people have changed their minds from how they voted in 2016.

Given that we don't know who the Democratic nominee will be yet, that selection will be generic. We know Schultz will run as a independent, and there will likely be more. But I'm going to clump all of them together for this poll.

Pick the selection that best fits your current thinking.

No, it's just way too early to ask. Nobody even knows who the finalists will be, although it will probably be Trump - R (very probably, but not 100% ); however, it is still ??? - D. Much too early for swing voters to evaluate.

I'm not sure what I'll do. Ultimately, I wish people would start realizing there are several levels of control that lie above the political system (and above the corporations, too).

If you say something like this, it behooves you to elaborate.

I will either vote for Trump again, vote for an independent/third party or not vote. I absolutely will not vote for a Democrat.

I haven't decided on which of those three options I will go with. It's still way too early.

It's an election, not a text message, and it's not "on-demand."

I know you Millennials are used to having everything in 30 seconds or less and throw a hissy-fit when that doesn't happen, but just take a chill-pill and relax until next June, when we know exactly who the candidates will be.

For all you know, a Republican could step-in in November and win it all. That wouldn't be the first time out of the last six Presidents that happened.

A Democrat could toss his/her hat into the ring in November and sweep it all, too, and that wouldn't be the first time that happened out of the last six Presidents, either.

80% of Americans aren't interested or concerned, because it's way too early to do either.

The fun doesn't even start until January, and a lot of people running their mouths now will no longer be around then, because they'll have dropped out.

It's still pretty early to tell who I will vote for. I just know my list of who I will not vote for is getting longer.

Voted for Gary Johnson. Will probably reluctantly vote for Trump due to the Left being so crazy towards him.

I’m not sure I buy the “it’s too early” excuse. 2020 will be a referendum on Trump, as all elections with an incumbent. Opinions on Trump are pretty locked in. But to put any faith in a poll on P&OC would be insanity. It’s like precinct checking in Jonestown.
