President Trump may soon need a new nickname for Sleepy Joe Biden. How does President-elect sound? On present trend thats exactly what Mr. Biden will be on Nov. 4, as Mr. Trump heads for what could be an historic repudiation that would take the Republican Senate down with him.
Mr. Trump refuses to acknowledge what every poll now says is true: His approval rating has fallen to the 40% or below that is George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter territory. Theyre the last two Presidents to be denied a second term. This isnt 2017 when Mr. Trump reached similar depths after failing to repeal ObamaCare while blaming Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan. He regained support with tax reform and a buoyant economy that really was lifting all incomes.
Now the election is four months away, voters know him very well, and Mr. Trump has reverted to his worst form. His record fighting the coronavirus is better than his critics claim after a bad start in late February and March. He mobilized federal resources to help hard-hit states, especially New York.
But he wasted his chance to show leadership by turning his daily pandemic pressers into brawls with the bear-baiting press and any politician who didnt praise him to the skies. Lately he has all but given up even talking about the pandemic when he might offer realism and hope about the road ahead even as the country reopens. His default now is defensive self-congratulation.
Americans dont like racial enmity and they want their President to reduce it. Mr. Trump has preached racial harmony on occasion, but he gives it all back with riffs that misjudge the national moment.

The President needs to start running TV ads.
Trump friendly PACS need to create ads showing the many pictures of Biden groping and ogling under age girls, and fondling and sniffing women.
Run ads with Biden stumbling and mumbling and calling the young democrat woman a “lying dog-faced pony soldier.”
However, there can be some confidence generated if somebody... somewhere... paid for their crimes.
As a long time Trump supporter, I don't think there is enough push back. How do you think the more wishy-washy feel. Maybe Trump is doing all he can... if so, that is how too many folks are reading it and beginning to panic. I only follow Rasmussen... it is showing up there, right now.
Do you know even a single person who voted for Trump who will voter for Biden this year? Do you know a single person who voted for Trump who will stay home? Can you even describe what such a voter would look like? What problem does such a voter see with Trump that would be improved by voting for Biden?
Paul Gigot is one of the few shows I’ll watch on the weekends.
Now I question your sanity. I stopped watching Fox News Channel and Fox Business Channel the day after the Me-again Kelly ambush on Donald Trump in the first Presidential Debate on Aug. 6, 2015. Fox News had been making commercials suggestion something was about to happen for several days before the event. She could not have gotten away with the attack on Donald Trump unless upper management had signed off on it.
Stop watching Fox News and get back your sanity. Stop watching that hate filled network.
Try OANN and Newsmax TV.
I'll agree with that. Supposedly the DOJ has 500 rioters being charged. Out of that number, there should be a dozen or so who could be offered plea deals that still include significant jail time. Publicizing such deals would go a long way toward discouraging copy cats.
The antifa professor who used a bike lock on a chain to smash a guy's head got probation. He deserved at least a couple of years in prison. What kind of deterrence is probation for such a premeditated violent crime? If this guy had gotten ten years in prison that would have sent a message.
They are also good. I like OAN. Thanks.
It might help, but prime time tv audience is down to ~28 million people, so only about 8% of America is watching. Meanwhile, Facebook has 189 daily active users in Canada and the US, so assume about 50% of Americans daily interact with Facebook. You can see the stranglehold tech has on communication with the public. Gives a lot of power to the president to tweet, but a scary amount of control in the hands of a few leftists in silicon valley. If Facebook and Twitter won’t run those ads, people won’t see them.
Trump can't fire until he sees the whites of their eyes before the election.
Exactly. Trump and a few folks in Congress have echoed this. Add this to the message about re-engaging the economy and I think you have an easily remembered meme to rally behind.
Amen. Broken laws must be enforced and examples made of law-breakers.
We have to remember that Open Sedition and a Public Coup against Trump were A-OK for the last four years.
If you are selling invisible clothing to the Emperor, do you tell the truth? These poll jokers are selling propaganda, so they make it fit any lie the MSM wants to pay them for. I thought you would be smart enough to understand that without it being explained.

Corruption Incarnate Joe ....

Where are you getting this from?
Yeah, I just noticed the sudden "sprouting" of all these articles saying that Trump is losing because of his "attitude".
I've been going "WTF?" every time I see one of them.
It's The Usual Suspects.
The national-level polls were actually pretty close in 2016 (Hillary did win the popular vote by 3%; the final polls had her up 4%.) It was the state-level polls which were off. Polling in 2018 was more accurate.
Actually we already did surrender many liberties without so much as a whimper... during covid... then that jerk of a cop kills Floyd ,.. looters and rioters went unfettered... a glimpse of more to come

The latest Reuters/ipsos poll had 4400 registered voters, 46% demonRAT, 36% pubbie and 18% indies.
With those ratios education makes zero difference.
They are slanted and the same people that did 2016 are doing the same things in 2020.
