CNN Poll: Trump losing ground to Biden amid chaotic week
Source: CNN
As protesters gather daily near the White House and the coronavirus pandemic rages on, the American public is souring on President Donald Trump. A new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS finds Trump's approval rating down 7 points in the last month as the President falls further behind presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, whose support now stands at its highest level in CNN polling.
The survey also finds a growing majority of Americans feel racism is a big problem in the country today and that the criminal justice system in America favors whites over blacks. More than 8 in 10 also say that the peaceful protests that have spread throughout the nation following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers are justified. Americans now consider race relations as important a campaign issue as the economy and health care, according to the survey.
Overall 38% approve of the way Trump is handling the presidency, while 57% disapprove. That's his worst approval rating since January 2019, and roughly on par with approval ratings for Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush at this point in their reelection years. Both went on to lose the presidency after one term.

In the race for the White House, among registered voters, Trump stands 14 points behind Biden, who officially secured enough delegates to win the Democratic nomination in CNN's delegate estimate on Saturday. The 41% who say they back the President is the lowest in CNN's tracking on this question back to April 2019, and Biden's 55% support is his highest mark yet.

Just recently lied about the employment numbers.
Fences around the people's house and a national park.
Gassing, rubber bullets, police on horses against peaceful protestors so t-rump could walk across the street and stand in front of church holding a upside down bible, meanwhile before this event - forcefully getting religious members out of the church.
Unmarked police force. General walking around DC in camouflage outfit, black hawks circling the protestors.
Continued ugly tweets. Congress republicans overall remain silence but still confirming unqualified judges and investigating the Obama Administration re: Russian probe, while refusing to discuss additional aid package for the country.
Absolutely no compassion, empathy, concern for the American people while spouting racism, hatred and violence from t-rump and his cronies. DOJ, IC's have been compromised.
George Floyd and many other deaths.

(584 posts)Somehow it seem that poll numbers get biased to favor the poll provider's desires.
Remember how good you felt about the polls in Nov '16? Even after election midnight?
I'd feel better w/ crappy numbers. Would give us a reason to keep working instead celebrating before the final count.
