Maybe what the Trump supporters feared was covid-19.
if they did they had a funny way of showing it. only a handful of masks could be seen among the 6,200. if more wanted to attend but were afraid of covid-19 i think we would have seen a higher number of attendees but with a lot more masks.
if there is an outbreak of the virus linked to the tulsa rally within the next two weeks then any future rally would be the kiss of death to poll numbers.
We don't watch the Fake News Media, except when it gets lampooned on FOX News.
Then how could the "fake news media" be responsible for instilling such fear in Trump supporters that they stayed home rather than attend the rally? That's what was being claimed as the reason for the low attendance.
And I have no idea what you are trying to say with the Obama v Trump numbers. What do those numbers represent? Numbers alone with no context are meaningless. You might as well say Peanut butter: 52%, Jelly: 48%! So what?
From fivethirtyeight- approval numbers for both Trump and Obama at the same point in their presidencies:
Obama: 47.7
Trump: 41.1
Trump has never once hit 50%. Not once.

I don't see how this rally doesn't result in an increase in infections same as the earlier hot spots that were in churches and temples. His staff members developed infections along with the secret service agents all for a rally that did nothing. His approval remains at 39% in spite of the spin that this was so well received. He spent 10 minutes explaining his walk down the ramp at West Point.
Rallies don't impact the polls overnight they impact the polls when attendees tell their family and friends what they witnessed, because people who return home from the rallies are energized.
Their energy lasts for weeks and they rave about Trump to everyone they come in contact with.

Trump 46%

I don't follow polls that say Hillary Rodham Clinton is gonna win by 98%.
But you're free to do so.
Joe Biden; "I will defeat Donald Reagan in December!"

Fivethirtyeight is not a poll so there's that.
You still are not citing your source or saying what those numbers supposedly represent. For all I know, it's the percentage of times they have each been caught picking their nose.
This thread is not about Obama, Hillary or even Biden. Try to keep up.
If you prefer RCP to fivethirtyeight (BTW RCP is also not "a poll" - and they did predict a Trump win in 2016) - they have your boy at a 42.9 v 55.3 approval/disapproval. Even Rasmussen has more disapproving than approving.
