Interesting. A good rebuttal would be a poll showing Trump beating Biden in 2020. I've not seen any yet.
I think it was James Carvel that said, "It's the economy stupid".

For most people it would, but not for Trump. His pro-Russian ideas, policies, and terrible ideas on immigration and trade have made him the most unpopular President in modern history, or at least the one with the lowest average approval rating.
Go to the link below. It has all the polls that have been done on a TRUMP VS. BIDEN race:
RealClearPolitics - Election 2020 - General Election: Trump vs. Biden
Notice that no matter which polling organization does the poll, the same guy always wins.
I believe the point Carvel was trying to make was that all the other garbage doesn't make a difference, and the way the voter feels about the economy is a stronger driving force in determining how the public will vote. But don't let me interfere with hopeful delusions of the left, it was fricken humorous last time, and I am certain they still haven't learned their lesson.
Well, how did the great economy of the year 2000 serve Vice President Al Gore?
Again, if Trump were benefiting from the economy, why has his disproval rating always been higher than his approval rating? Trump by the way, is the first President to always have a higher disapproval rating than his approval, no matter what week, month, or year it is.
Here is a little known fact about George H.W. Bush and the year 1992. Yes, the same year of "its the economy stupid".
1992 - real GDP quarterly growth rates:
Quarter 1 - 4.88%
Quarter 2 - 4.41%
Quarter 3 - 4.01%
Quarter 4 - 4.24%
That is the last time that every quarter in a calendar year saw over 4% GDP growth!
Yet, George H.W. Bush lost the election in 1992. Its true unemployment was a bit higher in 1992 than 1991, 7.5% on average vs. 6.8% the year before.
The point here is that GOOD ECONOMIC numbers actually do not insure victory in an election year.
Bad economic figures don't mean you will be defeated either. Take a look at Obama in 2012:
2012 - real GDP quarterly growth rates:
Quarter 1 - 3.17%
Quarter 2 - 1.73%
Quarter 3 - 0.54%
Quarter 4 - 0.46%
The average unemployment rate for 2012 was 8.1%.
Obama won by 51% of the popular vote and 61% of the electoral vote.
The economy will NOT save trump from defeat in 2020. Its never the only issue.
