Trump 42.6% approval, 52.6% disapproval

And the ship keeps sinking. Even Rasmussen has him at a 44% approval, 54% disapproval.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Biden's best bet is to let Trump sink himself. Here's to hoping Trump goes back to his briefings, so his approval ratings can hit the 30's.

Another fun fact, Trump has the lowest approval rating for an incumbent president seeking re-election since HW Bush back in 1992. And HW Bush was the last 1 term president we have had...

Man, I think H. W. Bush was pretty decent too. But that was back when words meant things and he shot himself in the foot with "read my lips". Now, that would't even leave a mark.

HW was the last worthwhile GOP president, IMO. I'd take him over Reagan actually. How far we've sunken over the years, eh?

Yup, and with G. W. Bush, I stopped voting for the GOP. He has the last Republican I voted for.

That Rasmussen number must hit his campaign managers in the gut.

Michigan is very doubtful at this point for Republicans, unless they can somehow offset the massive turnout in Wayne. Pennsylvania has seen down ballot losses for Republicans since Trump won, and unless there's a major shift, it's hard to see the tide turning, but who knows.

Arizona also seems to be slipping away. If Maricopa trends as blue as it has the last few cycles, it's hard to see how Trump keeps the state, and that could be the whole election because if Biden gets Arizona he's probably going to win.

I was a fan of his, too. Voted for him in both elections. He was an honorable man. We need some of that today.

Doesn't really serve the Republocrat Oligarchy to have honorable men in their top seats.

The ever present loyal 40 to 43%. Trump could have shot Mother Theresa and this crowd would stay with him. Of course, they avoid what Trump says and does. They prefer talking about Democrats, especially Joe Biden.

“And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute — one minute — and is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The number of cases of people ingesting a chemical solution has increased, Kansas Department of Health and Environment Secretary Dr. Lee Norman said Monday.

Norman said he received the information from Dr. Stephen Thornton, a toxicologist and emergency medicine specialist at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Thornton told Norman he’d seen an increase of more than 40% in cleaning chemical cases.

You see, it's stuff like that Trump's fans tend to avoid. They don't want to know.

Undoubtedly. Though I think G.W. was a decent guy. He was just way over his head, and fell into trusting Cheney and his crowd.

And yes, G.W. over Reagan. Easily. Reagan was a decent man, but he had really terrible policies! Really Terrible!

I wonder how many of that 40% voted for Trump.

It's impossible to imagine a time when "read my lips, no new taxes" could have sunk a President. We were like children then.

Well, I was a child then, but you know what I mean.

 

[Chomsky]

Wow, ditto!

 

[Chomsky]

That Rasmussen number must hit his campaign managers in the gut.

Which is why he changed the briefing venue, and has been playing it cool the last several days.

AZ is starting to look like a Senate pick-up, too. And let's not forget that very strong Dem turnout recently in Milwaukee.

 

[HennyBogan]

Hillary was 50 points ahead, Trump v Biden, they both are too old but Biden needs a retirement village.

 

[Chomsky]

Doesn't really serve the Republocrat Oligarchy to have honorable men in their top seats.

Straight-up, they deserve what they got in Trump. The were building up to this for years, and finally got their just deserts. It's just a shame they get their SCOTUS & Fed judges out of it.

Watch for the Senate race in Arizona. If Kelly really pulls away then he'll likely carry Biden (or vice versa) across the line with him, unless there are a crazy number of split tickets.

I heard on The Press Pool with Julie Mason today on SiriusXM radio, some guy (I didn't retain the name, some political consultant) saying that Biden should disappear from the campaign as much as possible, not to make of the November election a choice between Biden or Trump, but rather a referendum on Trump.

He said (I paraphrase from memory) that Trump is getting lower approval and higher disapproval - but Biden tends to put his own foot in his mouth, and to give ammunition to the right wing; if he stays quiet and discreet and insists that the election is about removing Trump, is a referendum on Trump, his chances are better.

I agree.

People say, you can't win an election by just being anti-your opponent, you have to have a good platform that the people want.

Usually yes. But this time, maybe Biden's best bet is to ride a referendum on Trump. With Trump's huge blunders of late, UV lights, disinfectants... and the hydroxychloroquine fiasco, Biden should just let him sink.

Agreed. And no, I don't see many split tickets in today's hyper-partisan environment.

FYI, according to RCP Kelly's last 3 polls over the past two weeks have been +12, +6, +7. Looking positive, at this point.

Oh, Biden's polling +5 average to Trump. (AZ)

I agree completely.

Trump's in the hotseat. The Dem's thrust should be to make this a referendum on Trump absolutely. And it shouldn't be hard to do. Biden's not a very good candidate either, so he should keep it about Trump and nothing but Trump.

Never let it get sidetracked. Focus on Trump.

Gotta be careful with those Arizona numbers just like Florida. Old people vote at a much higher rate than any other group. The Dem needs to be 5-7 points ahead for a very tight victory.

What makes you think the oldsters won't like Biden? He's probably older than most of 'em!

FTR, Sinema was leading by 6+ in the 2018 OH Predictive Insights poll at this point, she was down to McSally 1+ with two weeks to go, and the Sinema beat McSally by 2.5+ on election day.

Just like Ohio polls tend to undersample Republicans, Arizona polls tend to undersample Democrats, because OH Insights, Harris, Emerson, and Traflagar had McSally winning, and other Republicans winning the toss-up races for the House.

Arizona is turning purple but the old part is still red as ever.
