President Trump’s chances to win re-election as of today are not good, and that’s given the fact that we aren’t taking the polls too seriously at this point up to an election. This is a terrifying possibility given the fact that Joe Biden is suffering from dementia and an overwhelming number of his advisers are socialists and communists.
What we do trust is trends in polls.
VOTERS ARE ANGRY
Voters are furious with the President for his handling of the virus. They credit governors with any successes. Thank the media for that. Voters blame the President for failing to contain the virus. Thank the media for that too.
They also blame the President for making the riots/protests worse.
Voters are angry and they will always blame Washington. It doesn’t help that the media points fingers at President Trump 24/7.
Republican suburban men and women are allegedly abandoning Trump.
IT’S NOT 2016
It’s not 2016 so don’t count on that pleasant surprise. Biden just isn’t hated as much as Hillary was and polls indicate they hate Biden less than Trump.
Also, the polls weren’t that far off in 2016. What they got wrong was the Electoral College. The President — barely — won some states that always go Democrat. It’s not looking that good right now.
In addition, the President might not have control over the military at this point. The generals keep turning on him, even the ones still employed. It’s no small matter.
He can resolve this but needs to concentrate on fixing the virus situation.
It’s only June and there is time.
Guarding monuments is a great idea, but if Portland wants to let Antifa burn it down, maybe let them. Certainly, there should be massive arrests. He must find effective ways to defend our free speech and our safety. Bill Barr, where are you?
I don’t believe these polls but if you look closely at trends, it’s alarming.
Think about what we have to lose — our freedom and our country. Biden will make things far worse but voters don’t know. They are lied to daily by the media and their weak-kneed politicians.
What do you think would make the voters less angry?
The riots were organized attacks on President Trump’s power base. It is an attack by the hard left, and it’s a power grab. We think Tucker is correct in this video and it’s frightening:

If trends in polls were accurate, Hillary Clinton would be our president. Because, the trends in the 2016 favored Clinton over Trump. It is a special kind of stupid to believe this makes sense. One of the few who got 2016 right, is saying that the president will be re-elected in November.
A couple interesting analysis threads.

We’d have to say there really hasn’t been a campaign as yet. Trump had appalling poll numbers early on in 2016. The polls close to election day always change their methodology in order to be more accurate otherwise they would look like complete idiots. In the last election there was considerable reliance on social media, whereas this time it is… Read more »
Don’t you think Joe Biden has had a mental checkup…One thing that I do not believe trump would allow be ✔
The media and the polls are incredibly biased, worse than 2016. Polls oversample dems. Poll questions are biased. Republicans are not abandoning Trump in my suburb. Come now M, you have shown great judgement over the years.
Trump lost the establishment from day one, including military leaders.
“Voters are furious with the President for his handling of the virus. They credit governors with any successes.” No they’re not furious with President Trump for his handling of the virus. They’re furious at the governors and local officials for their insane lockdowns and denying our rights. Especially as we’re finding out the lies they have been telling us all… Read more »
The president was the adult in the room and was the one who trusted the American public to protect themselves by only giving recommendations. It is not in the government’s authority to push us around forcing us to close our businesses, stay home, wear masks, limit what we may purchase, etc. What is in the government’s authority is to inform… Read more »
