HAHAHA: Trump attacks on Obama are actually making Obama more popular according to Fox News poll

Trump’s Net Approval Craters By TEN POINTS in Latest Fox News Poll

President Donald Trump’s net approval rating has sunk by a whopping ten points in the latest Fox News poll, while former Vice President Joe Biden has opened up a significant lead in that same poll.

<...>

Joe Biden now leads Trump by eight points, 48 percent to Trump’s 40 percent, in a head-to-head presidential match. That’s up eight points from April, when Biden and Trump were tied at 42 percent.

<...>

Another interesting result, in light of Trump and the Republicans’ recent and fierce push to make “Obamagate” happen, is that former President Barack Obama enjoys a 63 percent favorable rating versus just 35 percent unfavorable — a five-point upward swing from last month and his highest-ever rating in the poll since his inauguration in 2009.

Whenever I hear "own goal" it's the one that comes to mind.
I was rooting for them almost as hard as for the USWNT

We're already 8x the deaths from swine flu that they like to say to deflect from COVID.
More than 8x the deaths in 1/3rd the time!
It's only going up. Ain't none of the 90+ thousand coming back.
Last point: it seems like a rotten campaigning tactic to compare one's self to a POTUS who ended his SECOND term with an approval higher than his own high water mark.
Seems like they're reminding people why they may miss a guy they already liked better!

He's only working his feeble-minded base.

Bad news, Adolf. We aren't staying home this time.

Obama would have been our generation's FDR.

That's just the economy. He also had bin Laden killed.

His reasoning--from what I've read--is that Joe Biden's popularity is completely tied to Barack Obama. So, the theory goes, bring down Barack Obama and destroy Biden at the same time, throw them both into the fire.

Problem?

President Obama's approval numbers are high. People yearn for the 'No-Drama Obama' years when we didn't wake up to a new disaster every morning or some ridiculous, dangerous stunt out of the White House. Not to mention the endless bloviating that comes with the disasters and stunts and infantile pettiness.

Please continue, Donald. Carry on. We all know how obsessed you've been with all things Obama. Keep digging that hole, deeper and bigger.

Atta, boy!
