As many on the left have said to me....if not for Covid, Trump wins hands down.
But failure Tramp DID **** up the response to the Trump Pandemic and thus LOST in a LANDSLIDE!
He didn't lose in a landslide. Mondale did that.
But he lost. And he lost states he should not have.
And I would agree. His leadership was lacking when it came to the scare.
By the time Trump took over, the economy was already approaching full employment. Not a lot of jobs left to create that could be filled.
So his numbers were never going to look like Obama's. The potential wasn't there.
But, the did continue to drop.
His popularity with young blacks improved as they saw him (right or wrong) as being good for them economically.
The big scare was going to hurt anyone. And it did (look at Cuomo's state).
And Trump mishandled the public approach. I felt for him. But he should have done better.
