Nervous Republicans See Trump Sinking, and Taking Senate With Him
New York Times via Yahoo News ^ | April 26, 2020 | Jonathan Martin and Maggie Haberman

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s erratic handling of the coronavirus outbreak, the worsening economy and a cascade of ominous public and private polling have Republicans increasingly nervous that they are at risk of losing the presidency and the Senate if Trump does not put the nation on a radically improved course.

The scale of the GOP’s challenge has crystallized in the last week. With 26 million Americans now having filed for unemployment benefits, Trump’s standing in states that he carried in 2016 looks increasingly wobbly: New surveys show him trailing significantly in battleground states like Michigan and Pennsylvania, and he is even narrowly behind in must-win Florida.

Democrats raised substantially more money than Republicans did in the first quarter in the most pivotal congressional races, according to recent campaign finance reports. And while Trump is well ahead in money compared with the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, Democratic donors are only beginning to focus on the general election, and several super political action committees plan to spend heavily on behalf of him and the party.

Perhaps most significantly, Trump’s single best advantage as an incumbent — his access to the bully pulpit — has effectively become a platform for self-sabotage.

I would appreciate that articles such as this be identified in the title as a work of fiction or as the source's/author's wet dream.

This could be done concisely with acronyms such as NYT or WP or CNN or MSNBC or NPR ........ Many thanks & Cheers!

Right, we’re supposed to believe anythign written by these two, Jonathan Martin and Maggie Haberman. They’re nothing but democrat hack propagandists. And were to believe any R who is an actual suporter of President Trump would talk to these people? I doubt that. This has to come from the RINO wing, from somebody like Burr or one of the other corruptocrats on the Senate Intel Comittee; another possibility or maybe even a probability because it’s at least a 50-50 proposition that they just made it up out of thin air.
