NEW YORK (AP) The coronavirus is poised to reshape the political map, pummeling battleground states and alarming Republicans who see early signs of an election that could be a referendum on President Donald Trumps management of the crisis.
The pandemic, which has killed more than 30,000 Americans and left millions out of work, has eviscerated Trump's hope to run for reelection on a strong economy. A series of states he won in 2016 could tilt toward Democrats.
In Florida, a Republican governor closely aligned with Trump has come under scrutiny for being slow to close the state. In Wisconsin, the Democratic victor in last weeks Supreme Court race captured 28 counties, up from the 12 that Hillary Clinton won four years ago. In Michigan, a Democratic governor has seen her approval rating rise against the backdrop of a fight with Trump. And in Arizona, low marks for Trump could be enough to turn the formerly Republican stronghold into a tossup.
It makes me wonder if theres something brewing in the weaker elements of the Trump base, said Paul Maslin, a Wisconsin-based Democratic pollster. Is the pandemic fight the final straw thats going to cause some of this small slice of votes he needs to win these states to back away?

attention. tRUMP is the head of the snake and we have to get rid of him by fair means or foul...
note: Today I left the same message on the Al-Jazeera website due to another misinformed person
spouting off about tRUMP's "re-election". It's turned into a full-time job for me but it keeps me out of
other trouble.
