President Trump's job approval sank toward a two-year low on Wednesday, according to a survey from the right-leaning polling firm Rasmussen. The poll released Wednesday shows 42 percent of likely U.S. voters approve of Trump's job performance, while 57 percent disapprove. That's a net 4-point drop in approval since Friday when 46 percent of respondents said that they approved of the president, while 53 percent said they disapproved. The drop marks the lowest level for the president since Jan. 22, 2018, when Trump's approval rating was underwater, at 42 percent to 56 percent. The latest figures also show that 30 percent of likely voters "strongly approve" of Trump's work in office while 47 percent "strongly disapprove," giving him a net negative approval index rating of 17 percent — the biggest margin since January 2019, according to Rasmussen's figures. The poll comes as the president faces backlash, including heavy criticism from some conservative corners, over his tweets in recent days raising a conspiracy theory about the death of an aide to former Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-Fla.).

Rasmussen's tracking poll was conducted among 1,500 likely voters via telephone and online with an overall margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points.
Trump’s tweets have ‘deteriorated’ because he knows he faces ‘landslide defeat’ https://www.rawstory.com/2020/05/tr...s-landslide-defeat-financial-times-columnist/ President Donald Trump’s tweets have grown even more erratic than usual lately, as he has promoted baseless murder conspiracy theories about MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and even a video that proclaims “the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.” Financial Times columnist Edward Luce believes he knows the reason that the president has become more unhinged: He knows that he’s “courting a landslide defeat” in the 2020 election.

I have a feeling this election will be as close as 2016 in some ways given all the back and forth and split in American politics. Biden said he will not choose VP candidate until August1 or so, so that will lead to two more months of BS. I could also see no debates this election cycle possibly or really contentious twisty political ads and the divide between the coasts and middle of the country getting bigger.
