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.

And for other reasons, in 2016, Hillary was to win in a landslide per the same assholes.
“2008 is the closest either party is likely to come to a “landslide” in a long time.”
Ah, yes, the last time there was a Republican president during an election year. They tanked the economy then, just like they did now. Election years with Republican presidents have become very dangerous for the economy. What happens when the enemy of your society has infiltrated deeply into your politics. The Democrats will tank the economy every time this occurs.
Yeh, look how many times FDR lost the presidential elections because of a “bad economy.”
HA HA!! The author of this article ought to get his head out of his ass.
Because deep down a vast majority know that Biden and the Dems are the ones most likely to make America’s economy great again.

I would like the privilege of getting paid to be wrong - publicly, spectacularly wrong - over, and over, and over again.
Worse in the blue states.
99.99%.
HE WILL IF THEY DON’T GET A HANDLE ON VOTER FRAUD
They are putting this out there because they plan to cheat big. Then they can say, ‘but our models showed this months ago!’
That’s not so.
Connecticut is the last to open as stage 1. Several other states are moving into stage 2, each stage lasts 2 weeks. Despite what the Governors say the people are coming out & many sheriffs etc are refusing to enforce the Gov’s wacky rules.
Encouraging Example:
Louisiana
LA Governor John Bel Edwards stay-at-home order expired on May 15.
What is open?
Places of worship
Restaurants, coffee shops, and cafes
Movie theaters
Zoos and aquariums
Gyms and fitness centers
Hair salon
Nail salons
Retail stores with exterior exits
Bars and breweries with a Louisiana Department of Health food permit
Casinos
We need to encourage CNN to keep publishing the mantra that Sleepy Joe will win in a landslide. The low information voters will opt to do something else on election day if they are told again and again it is all over but the shouting.
Oh. Then it’s a sure thing./s
I wonder why the sudden switch from then? I guess they got taken to the woodshed by their den masters.
Or a “Democrats committing rampant fraud under cover of Covid pandemic lock down”. Or maybe that’s what they’re depending on?
You’re a bit late.
It began on 1-20-2017, at about 12 noon.
Good luck with that model predicting stuff coming out from ?? CNN???
One of them usually has a mustache and a cigar, and one talks with a fake Italian accent, and one doesn’t talk at all. Great writing team. I wonder if they’re ever serious.
