1. COVID Round 2 will hit just before Election Day.

And we haven't yet factored in the upcoming Stephen Miller-authored speech on race relations. Turd is tanked.

6. Miller's "race speech" will hurt Trump's poll numbers no matter what the message is.

If it's too conciliatory (not very likely) Trump will lose support among his racist base and the police. If it's too divisive (Trump being a total asshole) he'll lose support everywhere else. Either way, his numbers go down.

I'm really torn between watching or not watching Trump's "race speech." I might have to wait for Sarah Cooper's reinterpretation. These days it's the only way a sane person can listen to Trump's words without experiencing the urge to gouge out one's eyes.

8. I definitely won't listen. Can't tolerate that pig for two seconds.

I'll just wait for the outrage and the polls.

13. I know! I've NEVER been able to stomach watching him or listening to him. When he did the Apprentice

I never watched. Even the commercials made my stomach turn. He's just a disgusting person.

12. He's enough of a fuck up he'll manage to do both. nt

2. Gallup has had him much higher than most other polls

39% is as low as he's been since 2018. Going the opposite direction as Presidents who get re-elected. Summer before the election is when Obama, Bush, and Clinton all saw their approval ratings head back up.

3. for the non poll-stans here....

Gallup has him at +1 (49/48) in mid May. This represents a slide of 19 points in net favorability over a ~2 week span.

Very clear to me that racial issues and his handling of protests is much, much more damaging to Trump than COVID-19 is. We need to keep him talking about this, we trounce him in this category.

9. 19 points in two weeks?!? Holy shit.

I can hardly wait for his race speech. He'll self-immolate.

4. Bunker Boy doesn't care that his numbers are in the basement

He's hired his own pollster to tell him whatever he wants.

[empedocles]

5. . . . and what fox, et al, will duly 'report'

[Happy Hoosier]

7. I think you mean...

... he cares SO MUCH, he's hired a hack pollster to tell him the polls are wrong.

[C_U_L8R]

11. Yes. I meant that too :-)

[jcgoldie]

10. 538 aggregate has him 13.8 points underwater...

Its the highest differential since his government shutdown in February of 2019. He had climbed to under 5 as people seemingly tried to rally together in crisis at the onset of covid, but his disastrous response along with his embarrassing response to the George Floyd crisis has him in free fall...
