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.

We finally got Drumf now!!! /s
People vote incumbents with their wallets. Tens of millions unemployed, a million crushed small businesses, and people months behind in their bills doesn’t make for strong voter support.
Slow Joe won’t be the candidate.
LOL they probably polled their newsroom..if Trump is going to lose so badly, why are Dems already talking about impeaching him in 2021..they are already preparing for him to win
Collect all the statements from Liberals and Democrats DEMANDING President Trump shut down the economy to combat the virus.
It was Democrats who demanded we shut down work places and it's Democrats who are demanding we keep businesses and schools closed.
Make videos and post all the quotes with links.
Ask Democrats and get them on record; 'President Trump wants to re-open America for business. Why do Democrats want to keep people from returning to work?'
This is the main reason the chicoms deliberately foisted the virus on the world!
Hey, if polls like these keep Joe in the race, I’m cool.
There is NO ONE better than Trump to get us out f this mess AND get our companies out of China NO ONE!!! Yesterday he DECIMATED all regulations throughout the entire government agencies this alone will make businesses BOOM!!
Yeah CNN whose accuracy is 100% wrong all of the time!
CNBC (leftist ChiCom propaganda) just released their latest poll, over 5400 likely voters from battlegrounds
Who would do a better job handling the economy?
Trump 51%
Sleepy Joe 40%
CNN is fake news full of shit.

They got a couple gals on their team that look like models too.. I’d trust them more than this ‘prediction’.
Nevermind that the model doesn't do pandemics.
Garbage in -- garbage out.
But the OxTards forgot to mention the American people aren’t blaming Trump for the economy. They are blaming the China Plague.
I think they are Wiley Coyote and have triggered the boulder that will drop on their heads.
Get popcorn because it’s going to be riveting to watch.
Sorry, but Communist News Network cannot be trusted.
horrendous fraud == demtard mail-in voting cheat scheme
Political scientists and economists developing their election models should be aware that old models aren't going to be predictive in the corona virus economy. Other than partisan Democrats, who blames President Trump for the economic downturn?
Were they trumpeting this same model when it showed Trump would win with 55% of the vote and declaring the race over? That would have been a landslide not seen for a candidate in decades of either party.
Trump’s floor is the 46% he got last time, not 35%.
And Trump can make Biden’s economic record on China an issue as Biden has supported policies for decades making our economy and our ability to fight pandemics much more fragile and dependent on foreign countries that are hostile to the United States.
Does this analysis purposely leave out that the Blue States are suffering and the Red States are emerging. How competent will the leftists look come Nov?
