50% or more against Trump, margin 9% or higher
50% or more against Trump, margin 5% to 8%
50% or more against Trump, margin 4% or less
The usual margin of error is 4%, and twice that is not close.
I have yet to see any state poll asking such a question as "Do you want to re-elect Donald Trump or do you want someone else?" or "Do you plan to vote for Trump or for the Democratic nominee?" in which this question comes back positively -- yet. This is different from approval, probably suggesting that one likes the results even if one despises the President. Opposing Trump may not mean that one has fallen in love with liberalism; it may mean that one would rather have some different expression of conservatism as President.
Mr. Brower is not lying, but it's true we should remember the lesson of 2016 and not be complacent about another Trump win being possible. As Bill Maher said before the election, "Hillary Clinton is not a sure thing." Bernie Sanders is not a sure thing either.
