President Trump may soon need a new nickname for Sleepy Joe Biden. How does President-elect sound? On present trend thats exactly what Mr. Biden will be on Nov. 4, as Mr. Trump heads for what could be an historic repudiation that would take the Republican Senate down with him.
Mr. Trump refuses to acknowledge what every poll now says is true: His approval rating has fallen to the 40% or below that is George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter territory. Theyre the last two Presidents to be denied a second term. This isnt 2017 when Mr. Trump reached similar depths after failing to repeal ObamaCare while blaming Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan. He regained support with tax reform and a buoyant economy that really was lifting all incomes.
Now the election is four months away, voters know him very well, and Mr. Trump has reverted to his worst form. His record fighting the coronavirus is better than his critics claim after a bad start in late February and March. He mobilized federal resources to help hard-hit states, especially New York.
But he wasted his chance to show leadership by turning his daily pandemic pressers into brawls with the bear-baiting press and any politician who didnt praise him to the skies. Lately he has all but given up even talking about the pandemic when he might offer realism and hope about the road ahead even as the country reopens. His default now is defensive self-congratulation.
Americans dont like racial enmity and they want their President to reduce it. Mr. Trump has preached racial harmony on occasion, but he gives it all back with riffs that misjudge the national moment.

[Worse then Fake News, its propaganda]
True. The NeverTrumpers are trying to squash support.
These would have to be Boosh GOP Establishment morons.
WSJ puke, I’ll put up 5,000.00 that Trump will win IF you put up 5,000.00 saying the genius Biden will win. Are you just talk?
ALL of these piss-ants should be asked that same question and get their results posted.
“Before anyone accuses the WSJ editorial board of just another bunch of globalists, let me remind you that this board, led by Paul Gigot, has been a staunch defender of Trump and Trumpism, and despises Democrats.”
absolutely not true; i’ve seen NUMEROUS anti-trump editorials come out of the WSJ ...
President Trump saying, "stick with me if you want to live!"
Once the doomsayers in and around the administration are muzzled, POTUS numbers will climb even higher.
Your posting history shows that you are a never-Trumper and a concern troll. You hate the president but you are too much of a coward to state where you stand here on this forum.
You are a complete idiot. The polls were off badly in 2018 as well and the media has been recently releasing polls that showed Georgia with more college educated degrees than the Silicon Valley.
Moreover, the polling companies are dealing with massive and unprecedented non-response rates.
PT has had a great week. The campaign message against Biden has developed. He is a puppet of the Left.
Yes, the polls were spot on in 2018, much to the annoyance of a few overly sanguine people here, unfortunately.
This ha been a great week for him.
Who's the leader of the Republican party? Trump was on Hannity and asked what his priorities were for a second term. Great opportunity to outline what he stands for, and what the party stands for. Here is what he said:
“The polls arent telling you what you want to hear so they must be wrong. If you cant see there writing on the wall youll be as surprised as Hillary voters were November 2016.”
So they were wrong in 2016 but they are right this year?
Why?
BTW in that most recent poll giving Biden +14 in the demographics this little tidbit was found.
Polling information came from 1%+ of the called who completed the survey.
IOW 99% of those they reached hung up on them.
Does that tell you anything?
I think his numbers would go up of he ordered some violent protestors/rioters/Aunt Teefa.
(Terrorists!) shot.
The drop in approval with all our so-called representatives is because they dont do what they say they are going to do.
The Left will go to far and Trump will respond, or he will lose the election.
Something also has to happen before the election or I dont think we can have one that enough people can accept.
I have an opinion, for what its worth.
I know who Im voting for and, I would run through live fire to do it, or die.
So, Trump has one answer that is not great and that means everything.
Trump will be on message as the campaign gets rolling a bit more.
Meanwhile: Breaking News from Biden...
” ifdkjfdsff “
HIllary was (and still is) hated by most Americans.
Dementia Joe is not hated by most.
The race stuff isn’t hurting Trump, it’s the virus. Too many suburbran women don’t feel he really cares.
Biden will hide in the basement for four months getting total cover from the media Trump gets crucified for every misstatement and misstep. That’s not fair, but that’s reality. So when Trump has the chance to have a moment, directly talking to a huge audience, he can’t afford to blow it. Too much at stake.
Thank you.
