agree-the betting odds are the ones I watch (much more predictive than polls) and Trump was leading in those right through Covid , right thorough May until the protest and riots. Trump’s started out right, but then his tough talk but soft actions was the wrong combo-he started to make no distinctions between rioters and protesters-at least that is how the media played him on it-much better to talk soft, e.g. All for peaceful protest but not riots yada yada as he started but the tweets of “loot we shoot” were a political disaster (not saying its wrong but you’ve got to get relected to do anything) and you can see it almost to the day in the betting odds at RealClearPolitics-he has righted himself since then but you can see he went from leading Biden in all to a sharp shift in betting odds right at that juncture-he now trails Biden by about 5 in all betting odds. Good news is the election inst this month-he seems to have gotten better advice and now if he can jsut stop listening to Jared Kushner and tweet less.
So I went and looked that up, never having heard of it before and right now, it’s just grim

There wasn’t a distinction between the two that was a lie, and most AMericans who have other ways to access news like online videos and even watching FNC saw what was really happening. If anything hurt him it was the fact he didn’t take charge and stop the riots. I understand why he couldn’t but most Americans are not for looting and violence. Most polls showed Americans were even for military action in the places that were being torn apart.
