The Bottom Hasn’t Fallen Out for Trump Yet

First Read: Some days it feels like 2008 for the GOP (when the bottom looks like it’s going to fall out). And other days it feels like 2012 (when the country isn’t ready to give up on its first-term president and his party). That fluctuation — one day the president seems to suggest that drinking bleach is a good idea, the next day his party wins the CA-25 special — helps explain why the overall polling has remained so steady over the last two years.”

“The bad news for Trump is that his political standing is worse than Barack Obama’s in 2012. And unlike in 2016, Trump is losing among voters who have unfavorable views of both the president and Biden.”

“The good news for him and his party is that the bottom still hasn’t fallen out. At least not yet.”

“And that has us on a collision course for another close election in November.”
