Trump will lose in a landslide because of the economy, new election model predicts
CNN ^ | May 20, 2020 | Matt Egan

The economy has gone from President Donald Trump's greatest political asset to perhaps his biggest weakness.

Unemployment is spiking at an unprecedented rate. Consumer spending is vanishing. And GDP is collapsing. History shows that dreadful economic trends like these spell doom for sitting presidents seeking reelection.

The coronavirus recession will cause Trump to suffer a "historic defeat" in November, a national election model released Wednesday by Oxford Economics predicted.

The model, which uses unemployment, disposable income and inflation to forecast election results, predicts that Trump will lose in a landslide, capturing just 35% of the popular vote. That's a sharp reversal from the model's pre-crisis prediction that Trump would win about 55% of the vote. And it would be the worst performance for an incumbent in a century.

Any one with a brain or 1/2 of one knows the state of the economy is not Trumps fault.

Are the people that stupid, that they would blame Trump for this recession? If they can’t understand that it’s because each state shut down businesses and threw people out of work, then the public is not qualified to vote.

Unless it’s one of our domestic enemy shills HERE, who breathlessly posts Big Media’s inflated “See, I told you so” numbers.

‘rats are even more desperate, while sleepy joe is hiding in his basement Trump is out campaigning

Yes the economy is in the toilet right now and Trump is going to do everything he can to get everything back up and running. Trump is pro America, believes this all can be reversed and is very positive about he economy and the future.

‘rats want us to believe the world is ending.

And will push poll to get the results they want

Many millions of voters will be hurting...and angry...in November.If they're wise enough to blame the Butchers of Beijing...and Rat Party Governors...for their plight then the President will be reelected.If they're not...if they believe the Rat Party bilge that will be coming out in the next 5 months...Pee Wee Herman will be able to beat him.

If this virus was some sort of grand conspiracy...a possibility I absolutely wouldn't dismiss out of hand...it was a stroke of pure genius on the part of the conspirators.

Oh sure, they’re chomping at the bit to turn the economy over to Biden. Now that’s rich.

Wonder if it’s the same model the Brits used to come up with 2,000,000 deaths?

Of course they will be screaming this from the rooftops, but fortunately, most Americans are not dumb enough to blame President Trump for the current state of the economy.

This was more or less a group decision to get to the point we’re at now.

The morons hyping this “model” are grasping for anything and they look pretty pathetic with such attempts, IMO.

Talking to people on the streets about this results in those who despise President Trump still do, and those that supported President Trump still do.

The only minds that will be changed will be those who were previously not interested in voting for President Trump, and they will now likely go that direction due to the positive way this has been handled from the administration, IMO.

Not because of the economy, but because of
mail-in balloting everywhere.

Funny. I don’t remember CNN writing a story about a computer model prediction on Pres. Trump winning by 55%.

Oh, come on, CNN! Is that the best you got? Trump will lose because he wants to re-enslave blacks, throw all the homosexuals off the roofs of tall buildings, eliminate taxes for his rich friends, dance to the tune of his masters in the Kremlin, deport all browns whether citizens or not, repeal all environmental regulations, take away the vote from women by executive order and force women that are pregnant to have babies. Did I mention he hates Jews?

The economy is bad? Really, CNN? Try harder (see above)!

1. Create new model that predicts overwhelming victory for Dems in the election.

2. Sell for a really high prices to Dems and MSM.

3. Profit and donate money to FR and President Trump campaign.

4. Repeat
