Trump supporters look at the polls which have Biden way out in front and say, "Yeahbut 2016!"
But has Trump actually increased, or even maintained, the number of people who will vote for him? After all, he lost the popular vote in 2016, and his approval vs. disapproval rating as never been in the positives. In fact, he has averaged a weak 41 percent approval during this term.
Just for comparison, Obama averaged 47.9 percent, and his highest approval rating was 67 percent.
Trump has never seen 67 percent. His highest approval ever was 49 percent.
Turnout is going to be higher this time around than it was in 2016. Trump will need to have increased his support substantially.
It seems to me Trump has worked very hard to piss off as many demographics as possible. Suburban housewives, blacks, Hispanics, the elderly, the young, and even the military. His only friends are middle-aged non-college educated white guys.
So what do you think? Is a wipeout coming?
