Summary

Democrats Voter Turnout In Iowa FLOPPED Paving Way For Trump 2020 Landslide Amid RECORD Approval. Democrats were banking on record voter turnout in the primary and a surge in youth vote in order to defeat Donald Trump in 2020.

But early data shows that Democratic participation is on par with 2016 levels, which had been reported as very low. In order to defeat Trump, Moody's analytics says Democrats will need maximum turnout in November. Even with that they will only win by about one electoral vote.

But with the Iowa caucus being an unmitigated disaster I can only imagine that people are soured on the Democrats and will be less likely to participate or vote in the next elections.

While Democrats panic over failed voter turnout Trump is seeing his highest approval rating from Gallup ever even surpassing Barack Obama by 4% for the same time period. Obama went on to easily win reelection in 2012.

Voter turnout was the last hope of the Democratic party and with such a large tent including far left, progressive, moderate, centrists, and establishment Democrats you;d think they could muster a large turnout but unfortunately no.
