Lol Trump's overall approval rating among all voters is also 41% what do you reckon his chances of being reelected with 41% approval is?

Here is a poll showing that 88% of black voters say they are voting for Biden....and shows that only 12% approval for Trump from black voters....Gallup and Rasmussen tend to be very right leaning in their results....I do not know a single black person that supports Donald Trump I know which of those polls I believe more.

Depends on the silent majority. that won’t come out and say they support him out of fear. Plus I’ll start looking at polls after the debates start

Well considering he was elected pretty easily with a high 30s approval rating in 2016 I’d say chances are pretty high he’d win re-election with an approval in the 40s, which btw Trump and Obama have an almost identical approval rating at this point in their presidencies. Also, in 2016 Trump received 8% of African American vote. Let’s say that poll mentioned above is wrong and he only gets about a third of that, roughly 13.5% of the African American vote. If he gets that, it’s lights out game over and an even larger victory than in 2016.

Ill see your 5% of the black vote and raise you....14 pts on suburban voters, 15 pts of white voters, 8 pts on independents, 7 pts with men voters, 18 pts with women voters and 22 pts with the under 25 crowd....

Poll: Two-Thirds Think Trump Made Racial Tensions Worse After Floyd Was Killed

The NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist survey found Americans see the nationwide protests as legitimate — a big shift from the 1960s — and almost half strongly disapprove of the job President Trump is doing.
www.npr.org www.npr.org

Biden, it appears, has made inroads with some key groups, like suburban voters, whites, independents and men, and he's beating Trump in this poll by wider margins than Clinton did with women and voters under 45:

Suburban: In 2016, according to exit polls, Trump won suburban voters by 4 points; Biden leads in this poll by 18 with them
Whites: Trump won them by 20 points; Trump leads Biden in the poll by only 5.
Independents: Trump won them by 4; Biden now leads with them by the same margin.
Men: Trump won them by 11, but only leads Biden by 4 in the poll.
Women: Clinton won them by 13 points; Biden leads Trump by 18 with them.
Under 45: Clinton won them by 14; Biden leads with them by 22.

If you believe that poll then you learned nothing from 2016. If you think Trump is losing by those margins to a candidate who can’t form a sentence then I don’t know what to tell you.

Nah, Biden is still sharp. He has a speech impediment. Trump on the other hand has dementia and is evil to boot.

Lmao I wouldn’t trust Biden to make difficult decisions on China. If we was ever attacked I wouldn’t believe we are safe under Biden. Biden being sharp now that’s hilarious

Trump has proven how much racism still thrives in the US ( Charlottesville in 2017 being one glaring example ). There will certainly be a backlash to the BLM movement so I don't doubt he can still win against a weak candidate like Biden. More immediately, I am just worried some MAGA asshat will shoot or run over protesters or plant a bomb somewhere.

I’ll say this if protesters was to surround my car especially with my kids in it. And start beating my car and busting my windows. I’d probably hit the gas pedal out of fear trying to get away from the crazy people.

Your fear is misled.

I remember yesterday someone posted a tweet suggesting Trump manipulated the jobs numbers. According to Jason Furman, who served under Obama as the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, there is no way that could have happened.

You're missing that through his arrogance and ignorance he didnt follow what everyone else was doing as far as PPE and instead of having swabs to sell the company tossed them all out.

As the capitalist you claim to be that company just lost who knows how much money.

I’m not sure the president knew the swabs would have to be thrown away

Elkin protest leads to arrest. Lot of drama nearby Wilkes with these protests. Guy was from Alaska.

You got to chuckle at the irony that he is there touting more test swabs but because of his actions there will be less test swabs?

Oh I get it.. I just don't think those arguments change anybody's mind.. starts looking like Tit for Tat. It all comes down to if you're not going to vote for him you think that's a good story to tell and to the ones that are going to vote for him it doesn't matter.
 
I keep seeing it’s all peaceful protestors then I see images from cities with glass broken out of store fronts, windows boarded up, and videos of people running out of stores with armfuls of merchandise. Have people not figured out the majority of video that is shown on the news is after the unpeaceful acts have already been committed and at that point in the aftermath it all appears peaceful.
 
I'm a bit late here, but one of the early symptoms of dementia starting to take a turn might be it's harder for the person to reason with others. Reason why I think it might be is I remember back around Christmas 2017 I think, my mom wanted some candies made (can't remember the kind but I think it had chocolate and coconut in it), and sent my grandma a website that had the recipe, that website redirected her to malware and nearly caught her before she called her brother.

Said candy has about a thousand websites that have the recipe, but as hard as I tried to reason, she did not budge off of not making the candy because of that experience on one website. I ended up making a tres leches cake with her instead and my other grandma (that's still here now) ended up making the candy.

Now take that kind of situation and apply that to much tougher decision making with someone that has a harder time reasoning. It doesn't look great, does it?

I remember I voted for Trump in the primaries and I was too embarrassed to tell anybody.. because everybody said they weren't going to vote for him, but when Trump pretty much won every County in my state primary night I realized everybody knew we needed a change.

Same will happen this year, polls will say Biden can’t lose then come election night Trump will win and people will flip, or at least I hope that happens. If not it’s ok because I can make money with any President in office!
 
The reason popular vote doesn’t add up to a hill of beans. Is because the population in California and New York. Reason popular vote isn’t fair is because every state wouldn’t count. That’s why the electoral college is fair
