USAGOLD note: We tend to stay away from politics here at USAGOLD – part of a tradition that goes back to our early days on the world wide web starting in 1997. That said, at the very least, when we see a trend worth noting, we feel obligated to send along a heads-up to our clientele. Though early in the game, polling shows President Trump trailing all the leading candidates from the Democratic Party in head-to-head competition – Sanders, Biden, Buttigieg or Bloomberg. We find the polling results a surprise and we are fairly certain that President Trump would point to the flawed polling during the last election cycle to blunt its relevance. At the same time, it could signal underlying demographic trends worth monitoring. By the way, most of the polling organizations tracked at Real Clear Politics report similar results.
