The economy has gone from President Donald Trump's greatest political asset to perhaps his biggest weakness.
Unemployment is spiking at an unprecedented rate. Consumer spending is vanishing. And GDP is collapsing. History shows that dreadful economic trends like these spell doom for sitting presidents seeking reelection.
The coronavirus recession will cause Trump to suffer a "historic defeat" in November, a national election model released Wednesday by Oxford Economics predicted.
The model, which uses unemployment, disposable income and inflation to forecast election results, predicts that Trump will lose in a landslide, capturing just 35% of the popular vote. That's a sharp reversal from the model's pre-crisis prediction that Trump would win about 55% of the vote. And it would be the worst performance for an incumbent in a century.

That idiot Danny certainly doesn’t think they lie.
Except no one is blaming Trump for the Wuhan Virus. The Dems putting their faces on any further damage to the economy.
No doubt it’s the Neil Ferguson election model. 8>)
A model that is correct, if all things were normal. If the economy had collapsed thus epically due to some underlying economic weakness, I would say that Trump would lose.
But this is idiocy. The economy was purposefully shut down and it is the democrats who want to keep it this way.
They truly think that they can dump gas, light they matches and then scream about how Trump is to blame for not getting the fire department there on time.
Sorry, not gonna happen. The voters know who lit this fire.
Cover stories begin for the massive election and voting fraud the Democrats are about to attempt.
We should all volunteer to work in our respective election precincts.
Joe Dementia?
The MSM is going to eat their words come November. Of course they will never correct such words. CNN,MSNBC, and others are yet to apologize for promoting Avenatti almost every hour. Many on those biased stations and publications were promoting Avenatti daily as a potential presidential candidate, now a convicted felon of extortion.
How do these reporters/pundits go home and look in the mirror as unbiased journalists? Don't bother to reply, I know they have NO shame NOR integrity.
The only way I think DJT loses to Slow Joe in November is if Michelle Obama agrees to run on the ticket with him.
Nope, different group.
CNN wet dream.....lmfao
CNN declares religious holiday.
um.....gun sales broke records in March and April.
Ammo is flying off of the shelves here in Cali, don’t know about everywhere else though.
True that is why he will probably win Michigan,Virginia and house seats in some blue districts
It was a stroke of genius to put the onus on opening the states to the Governors
They will be taking the blame and President Trump can keep trolling them to a great degree
Interesting. NYers aren’t too welcome in other parts of the Country now. But even in NY/NJ cases are trending down. It’s going to bee hard for the Blue State governors to drag this out much longer.
So they modeled the last several pandemic nationwide shutdowns into the formulas?
CNN? Fake news Bullshit for sure. Amazing how these Assholes stay in business . 🐂💩
Neil Fergusons Imperial model could be the most devastating software mistake of all time
Imperial Colleges modelling... could go down in history as the most devastating software mistake of all time, in terms of economic costs and lives lost....
Try unravelling that tangled, buggy mess, which looks more like a bowl of angel hair pasta than a finely tuned piece of programming.
I agree with you, I hope the rest of the country does as well
After the farce of a model (the “modeler” in england resigned in disgrace recently) in regards to the effects of the Chinese Commie Wuhan Red virus, I think most models are hoped-for BS. I call MEGA BS on this specific model.
