it is time to give someone else a chance."............................................................Polls don't take this thought into account. The first reaction to a poll, is not often the real feeling of what a person will do when they vote in November. On that day in November, voters will consider the entire picture, not some question from a poll. Also, all the conversations that people have with their family and friends will be considered too. The lies and failed leadership will be in the minds of many. At that very moment it will be clear that most voters will vote against Mr. Trump and vote for Mr. Biden. Here is the simple reason why: "Trump has had his chance and failed, let's give someone else a chance."
... Further, most voters on that day will conclude that Trump has "lied about everything, it is time to give someone else a chance." The lies are so clear, and those lies will be played over and over as November approaches. Donald Trump was given a chance, and it is time to give someone else a chance. The exact same thought that may (I say may) have been the reason why Trump was elected, could be the reason why he is defeated. Finally, this is not a complicated thought. It is simple, to the point and very clear. This one thought is not new. Actually it is quite old. Yet, there is one obvious fact about this thought. It is the truth.

(9,160 posts)responsibility for his shortcomings by blaming the WHO and blaming China. It is effective because he appeals to almost half the country that vote based on their anger, grievances and prejudices rather than facts. The truth doesn't matter.
He will blame Democrats too. Trump will make a case that he has done more than any other leader in the world and Democrats haven't done a thing and didn't present an alternative. He will use all his dirty tricks, lies, smears, and foreign assistance to cheat and drown out the Democratic message. The people who vote Trump don't care about the truth.
We can't expect to win, based only on Trump being bad. We need more powerful messaging.

(38,454 posts)Yes, there will still be some devotees. But the number will go way down, because the death numbers will have gone way up. Another reason is that most of us will be totally mad about staying at home for a very long period of time. This "staying at home" is wearing very thin on me, and will last more time in many states.
...No one knows how many followers Trump will have by November, but I honestly believe that it will be much lower than .."almost half." By then, it will be no more than 25 -30 percent.

(9,160 posts)enough testing. Democrats could have easily made that a precondition of these bills, but didn't. We have not presented an alternative. His approval is the same level as when he first entered the White House. However bad things are, he will make sure that Democrats look worse. He can do that because he has the pulpit and the news cycle follows him, not us. He will use every single dirty trick to smear his opponent. We won't. I despise everything about him and every single thing he does, but thinking his poll numbers will fall is leaving too much to hope.
