Ohio swing voters view Beto as Trump's biggest threat

Between the lines: This was another takeaway from the Engagious/FGP focus group I watched last week. Participants were shown 2-minute video clips from O’Rourke, Julián Castro, Tulsi Gabbard, and Pete Buttigieg and asked to score them based on who Trump should be most concerned about heading into his re-election.

Although these voters — who have flipped between parties in past presidential elections — ranked Beto as the biggest threat among the four candidates, they only scored him a 5.7 out of 10.

Castro and Buttigieg tied at 3.8 and Gabbard came in at 2.1.
In the latest Morning Consult poll, Beto ranked higher than these other candidates, too.
