If not for this China plague, our economy would be very strong. If Trump gets reelected, we may even finally see peace in the Mid East. Trump's been the first president in 40 years not to start a new war, at least you can praise him for that. Or are there just too many war mongers in the Democratic Party and on the left?
Trump never broke 50% favorable for 4 years even in one of the best economies we had in 70 years and had a very large negative. He was the most unpopular candidate in history going into 2016 and really did nothing to change his negatives, he increased them. He didn't start any new wars but he didn't end any either and sure made bad situations worse, pretty low standard to claim somehow no new wars increased his popularity even if you believe that to be true.

So why are you brining it up now Ms Early Father, seems like we had many of the same situations in 2016 with narrow margins but they weren't worrying about minutia. But now it weighs heavily on your mind.

You still believe polling on Trump was accurate even after the polling debacle regarding the 2020 election. Hilarious.

Sure some of the states were off but in the end he wasn't popular, was there ever a president with under 50% that won a second term. House races depend a lot on the candidates, people are not always influence by a president and this was a year like no other. Overall the national vote agreed with the polls as it did last year, the decider was the close state races. Tough to win elections when you can't carry the national vote although Trump drew an inside straight in 2016.

So one poll Rasmussen had him up one time, in general for 4 years across a majority of polls he never broke 50%.

Bro, you have half the country who gets there opinions from the DNC media, of course he never had favorable approval rating.

We live in world right now where made up Trump stories with no evidence other than sources are allowed to be passed around as truth, and negative stories from the other side are labeled as “no proof” or conspiracy theories and buried.

Go ahead, do a search, tell me how many posts I have made re this subject. Exactly four, 1) my first post wondering about, 2) congratulating another poster for actually posting his/her answer as to why they voted top of ballot only, 3) calling out your snark response to #1, 4) this, below.

Not near as much as the politically failed, ginned up, Russia collusion hoax. This on the other hand stands on its own merits. Top ballots vote received little attention, perhaps because of the fabricated Russian political interference angle. I don’t know, don’t recall and you are not providing proof of widespread coverage of the top ballot only vote in 2016. With a near 50/50 vote in 2020 it is natural to question much, like why did the Dems lose so many House seats, why so many top ballot only votes? ...

Every presidential race is different and this year there are many factors unlike any we have ever seen in an election year. You would need to analyze each of the 20 odd races that flipped, the candidates the demographics. The issue is to some this is just another reason to wonder how Trump could lose while the republicans held the senate and gained in the house and insinuate that there is some sort of fraud in the presidential election.
