Before the 2016 election Trump's approval was at 42%.
(BTW, that link includes feelings about Trump going back to pre-2000.)
Before the 2020 election Trump's approval was at 45%. And from what I hear he received more votes than any incumbent in history.
But his entire presidency Trump was the only one to never reach even 50%.
And after the election in 2020 it fell to 34%.
So do those matter?
I understand your reasoning for answering these questions. Pollin in 2024 say Biden is in deep crap less than 6 months out. You say Trump had an approval rating of 45% in 2020 and lost. Biden is polling far worse in 2024 than 45%. Does that matter? Does it matter in poll after poll Biden is losing 20% of the black vote, 16% of the Hispanic vote and 15 % of the under 30 votes?
Biden loses big to Trump in the polls on immigration, economy and handling of foreign affairs. Biden's likeability has decreased and Trumps's has increased since 2020.
I am not you, but If Trump was polling this poorly when the man can't campaign being stuck in a court room for a trial the voters say is BS is also a problem. One of Bragg's key witnesses who owes Trump $500,000 admits on stand she hates him and dreams of him being put in jail. How ill jurors react to a Trump hating witness, who is a porn star that out in writing in 2018 she made up the Trump sexual encounter, now in 2024 changes her mind and says it happened. Stormy did Bragg no favors, but maybe the convicted liar and Trump hater Cohen (a Democrat) can convince the jury Trump is guilty of something.
It appears Trump is gaining momentum while in court and Biden's answer on the campaign is to do less (shorten his speeches) and keep flip flopping on being all in for Israel or sympathetic to Palestinians calling for the end of Israel. He also thinks giving college students free loans will win votes. He is pissing off both the people who paid back their loans (no reimbursement for them) and those who never went to college paying federal tax money and seeing their tax money being used for free loaders. The same college kids are anti-American and are on full display all across college campuses in blue states. They are a part of the far-left democratic party and deserve the exact same treatment the mob on Jan. 6th received.
I have said it man threads for over a year, Bidenomics if not fixed will doom Joe Biden. Hi time is running out as the short period the country saw of decent economics, have turned and things are getting worse again. There is a reason Trump leads Biden on the economy, Trump's economy was awesome until the pandemic and voters remember it and are stuck with Biden's eonomy which sucks.
