One of Trump’s three favorite pollsters reported their finding that suburbanites have switched their preference this year and are anti-Trump. They stress that suburbs are where the big changes are happening, in addition to urbanites consolidating their support around the Dem candidate. Incidentally, none of Trump’s Fave 3 pollsters are showing much of outlier results this year, as all three (IBD/TIPP, Rasmussen, and USC) show Trump behind as other public surveys do.
What do you think are the reasons that American suburbs have soured on Trump?
I don't think anything has changed. We do now have more minorities living here. My neighborhood looks like a United Nation. Black family next door, mixed family on corner, Muslims two doors down and students from India three doors down.
Only thing that has changed is the Dems telling us we can't get along----well that really hasn't changed, they do want us fighting so they can stay in power.
There are probably a few reasons. The suburbs are more diverse. This trend predates Trump, but has been continuous during his presidency. Trump's racism and xenophobia have probably result in great decreased popularity.
Many suburbanites are practical, thus favoring results over ideology. Unless one favors Trump's megalomaniacal ideology, he's been a disaster as POTUS. His ineptitude and laziness exacerbated the disastrous public health and economic effects of Covid-19, he's abused his power as POTUS to enrich himself to the detriment of the country, and our standing with the rest of the world is greatly diminished.
In short, if results are your primary measure of success, Trump has been an utter failure as POTUS.
I can only speak to my suburb and those nearby. IMHO, the populations now include more & more "woke", clueless soccer moms and their gelded husbands who think it's "cool" to vote for the odious Democrats. 20 years ago, reliably Republican, as the older residents died off, they have been replaced by these self righteous twits.
They are of the generation that was indoctrinated by the vile teachers' unions these past 20 + years.
It's only going to get worse.
This! All of it. Woke, pretend enlightened, de-volved twits.
I wasn't nice when a private restaurant where my company had a membership wouldn't seat me, a female, without a male escort, my male business client. I was my company's first female executive. I got things changed at that restaurant when i told my company what i experienced. I wasn't nice when i insisted my salary was much higher than a new male hire they were going to pay more than me and would report to me.
I never was nice in my career. I was very good at my job. nice doesn't get things done, ipaper.
That's your bitter point of view. As a military veteran who been in a war zone, and have lived all over this great country, and around the world, The better angels in us have always worked for me, never failed. I always been in a position of leadership, in the military and in my private work places, and being nice and respectful have always worked for me, never failed. We want to see this even more in our leadership, so your personal experience is not a good example because you are not the president or running for president.

In my well-off suburban neighborhood bubble there's definitely been more push to put "equality" at the forefront. In my little area, blacks represent maybe half a percent of all households, yet I've seen at least half a dozen BLM signs. Biden signs outnumber Trump signs three-to-one, maybe four-to-one. Some of the kids my kids come in contact with think supporting Trump means you're automatically racist. So, there's that.....
But, I promise you, almost all these households will be voting against the fair income tax proposal that's on ballot this year here in Illinois.
Therefore, it's nothing more than virtue signaling.
the reason may be because stupid suburban white women voters value a president being nice instead of a president being effective and protecting their interests. i find the adjective nice a pejorative. i'd be insulted if anyone called me 'nice'.
black male voters may be part of the coalition for trump this election instead of some stupid suburban white women. we will see.
i still have no feel for who, trump or biden, will win in november. the huge early vote by democrats does seem to favor them, however.
Funny...you didn’t think white women were “stupid” in 2016.

No mature adult with a family in a “well off suburban neighborhood” is gonna cast a vote out of the need to virtue signal. That’s nonsense. They have way too much at stake to do that. That is, unless you’re telling me that your “well off suburb” is populated by nothing but idiots. If you’re postulating that point, I won’t argue with you since I don’t live there. Only thing is, if you’re asserting the idiocy claim, then you can’t make yourself the exception.

At least white women aren't stuck on "stupid" and always voting for democrats .
