A stretch of lackluster polling for President Trump has some Republican operatives nervous about the president’s reelection prospects in November – with some even floating the possibility for the first time that Trump could drop out if his poll numbers don’t rebound. “It’s too early, but if the polls continue to worsen, you can see a scenario where he drops out,” one GOP operative who asked to remain anonymous told Fox News. “I’ve heard the talk but I doubt it’s true,” another said. “My bet is, he drops if he believes there’s no way to win.” Correction*

I might be going out on a limb, but I daresay everyone who voted for Trump before knew the polls didn't mean jack.
And they will vote for him again. He will pick up more votes from those who want law and order and an end to the virus insanity.
Mail in voting is our biggest worry.

I guess claiming he was ill based on the way he walked up a ramp failed so now they're trying a new lie.

BALONEY! Trump would never, ever quit the Race and leave us with nobody! (Pence would not be able to win IMHO!) Trump is not a Quitter! I never believe FOX Polls. Ever see how weighted they in favor of the Democrats?

These are the same numbskulls who predicted Trump would get bored with being President would resign within two years in office. The numbskulls haven't learned a dang thing.

This is one of the very funniest in a long line of hapless "Trump is finished now!" proclamations by the enemy (and in this case Faux is definitely the enemy if not just playing one on TV).
Remember that Paul Ryan is now on the board at Faux.
Watch OAN. Fox Biz is also still pretty good.

Table setting for an independent moderate to take the field...like some Senator from the West...nice guy, successful businessman, bright, white smile. If the numbers fall right.

Charlie Gaspipe Parino is a 2-bit squeeker on the Fox Business Channel. He is a never Trumper. He does NOT reflect the opinion nor sentiment of Fox Business.

If FNC did not have derogatory Trump gossip and lies to run, then ask a panel what they think about that, they’d have nothing to do all day. Increasingly, every show is the same. I see a change in Fox & Friends too. Paul Ryan’s influence is everywhere.
Yes indeed, #7. Maria B. and Lou Dobbs certainly try over on FBN. God bless Tucker for his efforts too. Rest of the time for us its OAN and RSBN for live WH events.

At 7am I turned on Fox business and Stuart Varney was reporting Biden is ahead and if Trump doesn't change his behavior in a 120 days he could lose the election. It sounded like CNN don't count on Fox for numbers in the election they have gone to the other side like all the others losers. This is a dumb article written by some chump who wants Trump to lose or wishes it.

The further you read into the article, the more its thesis unwinds. Fox turning into the revised Drudgereport.

They are literally insane.
This is Fake News and NeverTrumpers trying another kind of dirty trick. Last election it was FBI investigations, and Russian collusion.
The criminals who run DC are desperate to keep Trump away. He's getting closer to arresting them.

So I guess we're all supposed to go screaming into the night that the sky is falling because anti Trumpers "Gas Bag" Gasparino and FOX Fake News comes up with this little gem of polling? These idiots will never learn, things that might put a dent in a traditional republican's support are meaningless against Trump. Short of an earthquake that swallows up my polling place I'll be there to vote for him in November.

Nameless entity alleged to be a Republican says something, then qualifies it by saying “I’ve heard the talk but I doubt it’s true,” and FOX publishes it. Not very classy, FOX.

Seriously? Did anyone think Obama was going to drop out when his poll numbers were low in his first term? Many were predicting a Romney win. It's an eternity in political-speak before the election.

Last meaningful poll (like voters and dems not way oversampled) was done 3 weeks ago by Zogby, result: 46-46.
This is an attempt to drive him out of office. It won't work.

Looks like Fox 'News' got hold of somebody's talking points. Its a load of BS. This is why I hardly turn on any cable/TV news programs anymore. They are all awful. They don't report news. They manufacture it. The people doing this garbage shouldn't even be called reporters.

Lou Dobbs on Fox Business in the evening is my never miss show. They've put him on three times now at 5 with 7 & 9 ET repeats. Trish Reagan was good too but got the gong for being too good at telling off the Dems.

Charlie Gasparino? Seriously? He knows nothing.
This is the latest meme they’re putting out, trying to plant a seed in the heads of the Deplorables. A little psychological warfare when nothing else seems to be working. The polls are of registered voters, which are virtually worthless. Only polls of likely voters mean anything, and that’s not much… Trust no polls. Keep on working to get President Trump reelected.

Remember President Trump is the ultimate populist “outsider” who was elected by the American people to oppose the “insider” DC crowd that includes a huge conglomerate of DC centric “UniParty” politicians, “Deep State” bureaucrats and for most people outside DC, an unimaginable numbers of “swamp” hangers on, including the DC and New York City media, consisting of entirely fake, liberal, and never-Trumper individuals and entities who are always out to “report” anything they can think of to create controversy including outright politically based propaganda. Those DC “insiders” have formed a resistance against the “outsider” Trump since before he was even elected, and now are running under the mantra that they have to get rid of Trump to get DC back to “normal”. To them that means to return to “insider” control of Congress and the White House so that “UniParty” and “Deep State” political and bureaucratic corruption can reign again supreme again throughout DC. So when you hear or read so called news reports coming out of DC you always have to consider the source.

Oh, honestly, do these people think we don’t remember that they were giving this exact same prediction about Trump in 2016? You’d think they’d learn a thing or two. He consistently surprises them because they refuse to see who he is. It’s a smaller manifestation of the larger mental disorder from which they suffer. Liberals cannot see the world the way it is and find happiness. They are constantly looking for what “should be,” and it drives them into shrieking madness because what “should be” is a fantasy. It simply doesn’t exist in the human experience, and it never will.

As Rush always says, polls don't report news, they try to make news. Nothing has worked for the Anti-American left and friends, so now we float the trial balloon of "Trump could drop out!" Just the NRA members alone should shoot this balloon down. Trump isn't a quitter like Romney and McCain. He's the proverbial Comeback Kid--if, indeed, he needed to comeback. Biden is the "come out, come out, wherever you are" kid. They're scared, the Anti-Americans. They know the tsunami is going to hit in November if they can't cause Trump himself to change our views of him.
MAGA!!! KAG!!! TRUMP 2020 AND BEYOND!!! Whiners, you can't win fair and square so you try to scare us. We're smarter than you morons!

If Trump drops out or loses in November, which I doubt, the GOP will never win another election. The vote fraud and shifting (for the worse) Demographics Through Diversity will see to that. Plus, Trump has shown us what the Republican Party was. They played us for saps for years and a lot of us are not coming back. Won't get fooled again.

As I recall four years ago President Donald J Trump, (not Hillary) was never in the lead in the polls. Don't get excited until November rolls around.

What I cannot believe is how many normally intelligent people are actually taking the Politico article from the weekend seriously. We all knew that they would be awful this year, and we are still months away from the worst of it. Get a grip on your girdles people and gird those loins. We are in for a bumpy rest of the campaign season.

Live by the poll; die by the poll? Trump didn't win his first term by a poll and true believers don't need polls. So I wipe on your poll and hand it back to you, then barf in your general direction.

Unfortunately, that is the face of today's Republican party. Always trying to compromise and reach across the aisle sucking up to the Democrats, and never having to commit themselves for the American people and to the President elected by the PEOPLE.

Whoa! I think FOX must be printing some reject article from CNN here. Not even CNN is willing to concede that Trump is worried about the election-they prefer to say that Trump won't leave the WH if he loses. FOX, what the hell is wrong with you, printing this bullshit fake news? Anonymous sources? No Name = BS FAKE NEWS, got that, FOX? /smh
