2020 warning: Trump 'least popular president to run for reelection in the history of polling' [2019 Article]
the Washington Examiner ^ | April, 08,2020 | Paul Bedard

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%.

The only poll that matters is on November 3rd.

If Trump wins, it will be by the skin of his teeth.


If Trump wins a razor close election, it will be because the Rats succeeded in MASSIVE cheating.

Most Americans know who is truly for the PEOPLE and will vote accordingly.

Sounds like you are a TV watcher. Please, cut the cable. You will rest easier.

Trump’s numbers aren’t great, but they are within 2 points of Obama’s at this point in his tenure. And they are well above Bush I’s, Carter’s and Ford’s at this point. They are certainly above LBJ’s abysmal number in March 1968 when he bowed out of the 1968 race in the face of strong primary challenges.

I trust that there is no where near a majority of people in this country STUPID enough to want to vote for Biden .
And if there are , elections should be suspended and Trump made plenary leader. For it will be finally proven that the American people are too witless to be left to choose their own leadership anymore.
Elections have become a joke.

Mainstream media polls about Trump
are about as reliable as Chinese statistics on Wuhan Virus spread.

Newscorp execs endorsed John Kerry in 2004. Fox News isn’t conservative.

In terms of EV’s, sure. But they nailed the popular vote in 2016. And they’re upping the state-by-state coverage in 2020. I expect their accuracy to be way up.

Pollsters get paid to be accurate. No Democrat is gonna thank a pollster who underestimated his opponent’s numbers, leading to the Democrat’s overconfidence, mis-allocation of resources and ultimate defeat. He wants to know the numbers as they are, not the way he’d like them to be. Pollsters are the political equivalent of a military organization’s reconnaissance units - they identify, on a geographic basis, the enemy’s key assets and weaknesses so commanding officers can decide how to deploy their units most effectively. Hillary lost because her highly-paid Midwestern pollsters were wrong and she wasted time narrowing Trump’s margins in “close but no cigar” red states like Georgia.

Polls? POLLS? I’ve never heard of ‘em...never spoken to any of ‘em. Ever. I don’t even know anyone from Polland (sp.).

People with TDS will vote for my dog just because they hate Trump.

And now every virus death is blamed on Trump.

Precisely as you say: the voting fraud will be massive in this upcoming election. Hold your breath over the coming battle for “mail-in voting” due to this Corona scam.

Also, Joe Biden is NOT going to be the RAT candidate. The media is just waiting for direction from Obama and Jarrett as to when to begin the drumbeat to replace him (Tara Reade and other will probably be the catalyst).
