Donald Trump is closely depending on Fox Information and conservative media, however the Republican common citizens is way totally different and fewer pro-Trump than the first citizens. 13 % of the non-Fox Information-watching Republicans surveyed stated that they might be voting for President Biden.
By working his media marketing campaign by Fox Information/Newsmax/conservative media, Trump isn’t reaching any new voters. Trump is speaking to people who find themselves already going to vote for him.
The issue might be offset if Trump had a giant struggle chest to spend on promoting to achieve extra voters, however the Trump campaign is struggling to raise money, and President Biden at present holds a virtually 4 to 1 fundraising benefit.
If Trump continues to depend upon Fox Information, it could be shocking if his outcomes are the identical or worse for him in November.
