Trump Approval Rating Plunges 15 Points In Battleground States

https://www.politicususa.com/2020/05/01/trump-approval-rating-plunges-15-points-in-battleground-states.html

"SNIP.....

A non-partisan poll revealed that Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped from 53% in March to 38% in April in key battleground states.

According to the non-partisan PRRI survey of Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, “Trump’s favorability in battleground states has dropped substantially since March, from 53% to 38%. The president’s favorability in Democratic-leaning and Republican-leaning states has not significantly changed. About four in ten Americans in Democratic-leaning states hold favorable views of Trump now (41%) and in March (40%), although this is a notable improvement for Trump in these states compared to 2019 (35%). Half (50%) of Americans in Republican and Republican-leaning states view Trump favorably, a marginal drop from 56% in March and a slight increase from 2019 (46%), although the differences are not statistically significant.”

Trump’s approval rating in battleground states is now 5 points lower than it was in 2019. The President’s decline in job approval is not likely to turn around rapidly because his decline is related to both his handling of the coronavirus and the downturn in the economy. Since the economy is not going to spring back immediately, Trump could be facing even worse approval ratings for months to come.

Donald Trump wanted to run the same presidential campaign that he ran in 2016, but that has become impossible due to the coronavirus. Trump was elected due to 80,000 votes in three states. Trump’s margin for error is tiny, and if the election goes against Trump, swing states could fall like dominoes to Joe Biden.

So many villains to name as (r)epuglicon cretins.

Not sure when it started - probably back in the Truman/Roosevelt days. The (r)s enjoyed a bit of a respite since Eisenhower was a war hero (and a decent person.) Once they lost to Kennedy (because Nixon was the used-car-salesman par sub-excellence), they really filled their dirty tricks crime bags. And they've continued. 60 years of losing and 60 years of dirty tricks.

Still, there are too many brain-dead humanoids who follow the songs of hatred unto their own demise.

Ohioans have plenty of sense.

This president is non-stop, noxious nonsense.

Do hope the Democratic Party and the left leaning PACS out there remember that and run a campaign in Ohio.

Think it is possible, however, that Joe Biden could win Ohio, along with many other supposedly red states, without campaigning at all.

Biden was ahead of Trump in Ohio as of mid-March, and I see no reason for that to have changed in the meantime.

Ohio is not Alabama or Mississippi, for crying out loud.

Plunge. Flush. Down the tubes. Get real with this buffoon already. He's a cardboard cutout dictator and completely worthless, especially in a crisis.

Descend. Lower. Decrease. Set a new record of all-time lows.

I would be glad to help! I have never rooted for the Orange Cockwonble before, but now I root for this and it is so well deserved.

Plummet! Nosedive! Drop! Descend headlong!

This president has made this country number one in loss of life

This president has made this country number one in incompetence

For goodness sake, over one hundred USDA inspectors have SARS-covid 2019 in large part because this president's incompetent minions refused our inspectors the right to wear a mask!

This president is drowning and he is trying to sabotage the lifeboats our governors have built for us on his way down.

This president is leading a death cult and trying to appease "the Economy" with human sacrifice.

How is it possible anyone still supports him? Those people must be living in some impermeable bubble!

Yet, there is no bubble that is impermeable to this virus. His favorables will continue to fall and he will continue to do the only thing he knows how to do -- gaslight the media.

And then all the peeResident's men (and a few women [?]) such as Lindsay, Bilious Barr, Mom's Cowboy, Gym Jordan, ... shit, this list goes on for pages.

And behind this whole fandango are the wealthy plutocrats and oligarchs who couldn't give a rat's patouie about you or me or dump or anyone except their billions and inheritances and safe places to weather this "inconvenience".
