Donald Trump must do better among white voters if he hopes to win in...

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Polls by Emerson College, Ipsos and Survey USA show Trump leads by either 13 or 14 points among whites in a one-on-one race with Harris.
51% : Trump got roughly 47% of the vote in 2020, so he should be doing better than that in the polls now given that that he's polling much better among these groups, which cast over 20% of all votes in 2020.
49% : Biden beat Trump 90-9 among blacks and 60-37 among Hispanics.
46% : But Trump won whites by 17 points in 2020, per the exit poll.
45% : Once the Democratic convention and Harris' honeymoon period end, don't be surprised if some white voters move back to Trump and the polls tighten even further.
39% : This has fueled a rise in her favorability rating, but it also presumably has helped persuade people who dislike both candidates to reluctantly favor her in a showdown with Trump.
32% : She, too, is disliked by more people than like her, and her 45.5% favorability rating is only slightly higher than Trump's.
29% : Trump can also use personal appearances to make the case that Harris is too liberal and too weak to be president.
24% : So there's reason to think Trump can fight back.
8% : Trump beat Hillary Clinton by 21 points with white voters in 2016; Mitt Romney trounced Barack Obama by 20 points with them in 2012.
