Public opinion polls haven’t been particularly positive for President Trump or his Republican allies on Capitol Hill. This past weekend was no better. CNN’s most recent poll has presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leading Trump in Florida by 5 percentage points, Arizona by 4, and Michigan by 12. The Associated Press piled on the bad news with an even more dismal showing for the president: only 32 per cent of Americans support Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. And eight in ten Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction.
America’s presidential election contests are decided in a few swing states like Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. But it’s in the suburbs of those states where elections are won or lost. And quite frankly, the numbers today don’t look encouraging for Trump’s re-election team or for those incumbent GOP senators who are on the ballot this year.
