Trump approval bump disappears

Last edited Mon Mar 30, 2020, 01:48 PM - Edit history (2)

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/

Two latest polls are a Rasmussen at 45% adjusts to 39% for Silver. And a brand new Yougov poll at 40%. Harris Poll has him at 48-52 though. When you're most favorable outliers still have you at a negative rating you're aren't doing well.

Also, still getting beat by Biden head to head in every poll.

The alleged Trump popularity polls have been so depressing.

They just add insult to injury.

Presidents typically see a big approval bump in a time of crisis. Trump has seen a tiny one. If we come out of this in the Summer and he's still well below 50% that's a disaster for him.

Lock him up.

gene pool cleansing as well. Whatever it is, it's tragic and although we all die, this is sad for so many people everywhere.

There were several bullshit polls out. When Fox poll showed him losing that was the ballgame. Lets have an election today.

The whole Ukraine thing will be a major investigation....right here in the middle of the epidemic...they will drag Biden through made-up-mud so bad half the voters are going to want to stay home.

We are dealing with pure evil here, and pure evil knows no bounds.

Though the media probably won't pay as much attention.

If he gets into Ukraine/Hunter, well his actions on that are what he was impeached for.

I personal think it'll be a close election. Probably no landslides, although we should win by one.

I think Biden wins by 4-5 points.

Here's the thing, if the election for Bush would have been 7 months after 9/11 he would have won by 15 points. For Trump to still be losing is pretty remarkable.

However, we could lose if Biden wins by 2 points. If I recall, Hillary won by about 2 and lost the EC.

Imagine if the presidential election was in November 2001? Bush might have won 49 states.

Even fewer people approving of him is still a mystery to me. Far too many people are truly fucking stupid.

Mon Mar 30, 2020, 01:28 PM
Mar 2020

If we do not approach the worst case scenarios of 2+ million dead, he will likely brag that his actions prevented the massive death tool that some feared. Even if we exceed 100,000 deaths (which seems almost certain), he will spin that as a win - and people will believe him. He lies about the past and will magnify anything if he it can make him seem competent.

Most people have Trump’s number. The exception is his base who will never abandon him. His lowest approval rating was 37% for a while in 2017. I wouldn’t be surprised if it hit that number again before all is said and done.

You'd think he would have learned that by now, but nooooo. He loves the sound of his words so much, just can't help himself.

Throughout his term his approval rating sticks in the forties.

I'll be very happy when we can dump trump the incompetent chump.
