Poll: An Amash 2020 libertarian run would hurt Biden more than Trump - Conservative Review:
"Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., might still try to run a spoiler campaign against President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, but it might not turn out the way he and his supporters want, according to some new numbers from his home state.
"A statewide survey of 600 Michigan voters found that a hypothetical Amash run as a Libertarian candidate ... would cut Biden’s head-to-head lead over Trump from 12 percentage points to six.... Amash only got 10 percent of his home state poll respondents’ support, putting him four points over the “undecided” category. The poll was conducted by the Lansing-based Glengariff Group and has a 4 percent margin of error....
"Trump beat Hillary Clinton by a narrow margin in Michigan in 2016, coming in over the Democrat by a scant 11,000 votes.
"Amash — a longtime outspoken critic of President Trump — has caused heated debate among conservatives and libertarians following remarks he made about the Mueller report, saying that it shows the president 'engaged in impeachable conduct.' Trump hit back, calling Amash 'a total lightweight who opposes me and some of our great Republican ideas and policies just for the sake of getting his name out there through controversy'.... Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., another libertarian-leaning Republican, countered Amash’s conclusions by saying ... that 'it’s wrong for any Republican to think oh gosh, this is a legitimate investigation. I think it’s a very partisan investigation.'
"In March, the libertarian-leaning Amash said that he hadn’t yet made up his mind about whether he’d mount a 2020 run and that he hadn’t ruled the idea out."
