It’s never good for a sitting president heading into reelection to be compared to Jimmy Carter. In 1980, with the country in an economic and diplomatic crisis, the beleaguered former president took on Ronald Reagan, then considered a weak challenger, and won only six states.
Now as 2020 nears, President Trump is finding himself constantly behind Democrats in reelection polls and the latest has compared the Republican to Carter. “Perhaps the closest analogy to Trump in terms of approval ratings is Jimmy Carter, whose average approval rating for his term was 45 percent,” said a survey from the Wason Center for Public Policy at Virginia’s Christopher Newport University.
“Carter, of course, lost his reelection bid. Trump’s average approval rating for his first 27 months in office has ranged between the high 30s and the mid-40s. President Trump will be the least popular president to run for reelection in the history of polling,” said the poll analysis that put Trump at 37% and a generic Democrat at 48%.

I know of no one who voted negatively in a Trump poll. Even a phony poll by Axelrod cannot be believed.

Carter polled poorly with the media having his back. If Trump is polling poorly, it’s with the media stabbing him in the back.

What poll? I went to the link and there is none to examine for internals. There are opinions, however there is no poll. There isn't even a current poll on the survey site.
If someone can find it, I would appreciate going over the internals. I'll file this under gaslighting, narrative and fake news for now.

First I don’t believe this poll.
Second, Biden is no Ronald Reagan and POTUS is 188% better than Carter on his best day.

Yeah. I looked it up to. Is there going to be a big EMP where gaslights will come back in style? Sure is a lot of gaslighting these days.

Well, where are they doing their polling? On a north eastern college campus?

Irrelevant. The president isn’t running against Congress or a journalist.
He’s running on his record.
