New survey indicates that 66 % of suburban housewives will NOT be voting for Trump.
That may include someone fairly local to him, just a bedroom or 2 away.

In response to: Trump Tries To Appeal To 'Housewives' And White Suburbs, But His Views Seem Outdated

Suburban voters have been growing as a share of the electorate since the mid-1990s, and they have become consequential in presidential elections. They could be determinative in this one too, as they make up roughly half of all voters.
Since George W. Bush's reelection, the candidate who won the suburbs won the election, except in 2012. Then, Mitt Romney won the suburbs and lost to Barack Obama, showing why it's even more important for a Republican to win over suburban voters.
Based on national exit polls, here are the percentages of the electorate that were suburban voters in recent elections, plus the margins for each candidate:
2004: 45% (Bush 52%-47%)
2008: 49% (Obama 50%-48%)
2012: 47% (Romney 50%-48%)
2016: 50% (Donald Trump 47%-45%)
You can see that Trump won suburban voters narrowly in 2016, but he has since cratered with them. In recent polling, he's down by a historic margin, an average of 15 points.
Some recent examples:
ABC News/Washington Post: Joe Biden +9
Fox News: Biden +11
CNN: Biden +14
Quinnipiac University: Biden +22
NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist: Biden +25
And it's especially bad among suburban women. In the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll, 66% of suburban women disapproved of the job President Trump is doing overall, and 58% said they "strongly" disapprove.
That is stunning, considering suburban women have been a particular focus of Republicans in the last 20 years, dubbed everything from "soccer moms" to "security moms" to "Walmart moms."
Whatever you call them, they're not in Trump's corner — and the consequences have been massive for Republicans. They have been unable to pass any major legislative items since Democrats wrested control of the House in 2018. Democrats were able to do so because of their surprising strength in right-leaning suburban districts.
Trump needs them back, and he's trying to use fear to do it. Amid COVID-19 spikes, Trump is trying to change the subject, running an ad called "Abolished." It makes the case that "You won't be safe in Joe Biden's America," because police departments would be defunded — even though Biden has said he's not in favor of defunding the police....
