Michael Moore says Trump would win Electoral College if election were today

Filmmaker and activist Michael Moore predicted Thursday that President Trump would win a second term if the election were held today.
In an interview with Democracy Now , Moore said support for Trump hasn’t dropped “one inch” in key electoral states in the Midwest.
"If the vote were today, I believe he would win the electoral states that he would need. Because living out there, I will tell you, his level of support has not gone down one inch," he said.
Moore, an Academy Award winner and frequent critic of the president, added that Trump voters are "even more rabid" than before because “they are afraid he could lose.”
“They are voracious in their appetite for Donald Trump,” Moore said. "That’s the bad news.”
Despite losing the 2016 popular vote to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton , Trump won 304 electoral votes to Clinton's 227. Trump's historic win was due in large part to winning states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Moore said he remains optimistic about the 2020 general election, arguing that much of the electorate will be be made up of women, people of color and young adults. He added that this is why Democrats shouldn't nominate “another Hillary Clinton.”
"The Democrats who are encouraging moderation, go to the center — you know, 'Let’s not upset the angry white guys' — that’s really what it is,” said Moore, who has endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for the 2020 Democratic nomination.
Moore maintained in an interview earlier this week that Sanders has what it takes to beat Trump in 2020.
“He’s outside the box the way Trump was [in 2016],” Moore said in a Tuesday interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews.
Moore announced his endorsement for Sanders alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) during a rally in October.
Moore later explained his decision , saying, “I’ve always been with Bernie. I’ve been for Bernie since he was the mayor of Burlington, Vt.”

Yup, It must be frustrating for progressives!

If those groups will only vote as instructed! Let's make sure we get the illegal aliens and the criminally insane out to the polls as well!

Well Mike, that kind of talk is why they are all over here! Thanks for all the hateful rhetoric...
I think the nasty tub of lard has called it again!
Moore is more correct than even he realizes. In many states governed by republican legislatures and governors, like here in Ohio, thousands have been removed
from the voter registration rolls without notification to the registrants.
And all of them were democrats? Assuming it was simply people who moved. There are many reasons for cleaning the voter rolls. People die and their names can be found.
I never said nor implied that.
What is your angle?
You seem to have an issue with cleaning the voter rolls. It should be done, or were you applauding it?
"Cleaning the voter rolls," really?
That issue would be yours. Don't like people to vote? Is that the bottom line here. Oh, of course it is.
So I was right! You think that cleaning the voter rolls hurts democrats. You mean that democrats need fraud to win?
5 million in california thanks to judicial watch.
The members of the EC are fucking morons.
Said the angry white guy.
Wrong, Mike. Bernie was outside the box in 2016, but the DNC favored Hillary and killed his chances. Today, all of the Democrat candidates hold varying socialist, far-left positions that Bernie espouses.
