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.

No one is emerging. Everyone has rules in place that kills business.
The problem is Trump claimed only he has the authority to open up. That will be used against him. “Gosh, we wanted to open up but Trump never let us.”
Fuaci is on TV every day saying the dumbest things, and he’s Trump’s guy.
It’s weird how the Dems keep trying to run people with no actual business or leadership experience.
All of their candidates for VP are long time ticks living on the voters’ dime with no policy successes or innovations. Who would think MO had anything to offer above name recognition.
We need to compete on the Global stage with other Countries slavering to take advantage. What is she going to do? Dance hip hop with them? What does she know about supply lines & growing the economy. She & BO were great at partying & not much else. To the left electing a President seems like voting for a hot chick on dancing w/the stars
They have him at 35% but over 200 electoral votes. Not sure how that works.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
Democrat candidates are like decorated Christmas trees.
You are not electing the tree. You are electing the ornaments that come with it.
Nuclear-grade horse$hit !
CNN, you just keep thinking that. /s
Let me guess. Joe Biden has a 90% chance of winning?
‘cause Trump wants to have an economy, and the Dems do not and call that choosing the GNP over human lives. So naturally, the voters will choose to not have an economy. Too risky. Keep us safe, Nanny State!/s
They should have a do-over without the flu.
...but but but the Democrats say that they’re going to start impeachment hearings in 2021...
Experts say...
Trumps only worry, and it is a big one in key states, is democrat voter fraud.
Vote fraud in Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee and Madison could put those states back in the socialist column.
You cant imagine the amount of vote fraud that is already in motion by democrats.
After a woman accused Biden of attacking her? Not in this #Metoo era.
New model shows Democrat wishful thinking is increasing exponentially.
The model wasn’t right before either, 55% of national pop vote? Too high even for a best case.
And 35% is well below what the conceivable minimum is.
2008 is the closest either party is likely to come to a “landslide” in a long time.
Sure...because most people think Biden and Pelosi are going to build them a new green deal economy
Unless there are groups who keep an eye to work to prevent voter fraud.
