During Donald Trump’s four years in the White House, he was famously the only president whose job approval rating never reached 50% in Gallup Organization polls since the firm began systematically tracking that measure in the 1940s.

But now more positive retrospective assessments of Trump’s record in office are setting off warning flares for Democrats — especially as President Joe Biden’s own approval ratings remain stuck at historically low levels. In a CNN poll from April, 55% of Americans said they considered Trump’s presidency a success — a big jump from the 41% who viewed his presidency so positively when he left office in January 2021, according to a CNN survey from the time.

If Biden is to win a second term, “the fact that Trump is getting this level of credit cannot stand,” said Democratic pollster Jay Campbell, who conducts surveys on the economy with a Republican partner for CNBC.

It’s not unusual for approval ratings of presidents to rise out of office. The difference is that none of Trump’s defeated predecessors sought to return to the White House four years later. The public’s shifting ratings of those former presidents was of interest mostly to historians; this year, these reassessments will help decide control of the White House.

Generally, Biden’s campaign has spent less time challenging Trump’s record in his first term than highlighting what he might do in a second one. But that balance appears to be shifting.

Biden’s campaign has invested heavily in emotional swing-state television advertisements that tie Trump to the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning the constitutional right to abortion with the stark concluding tagline: “Donald Trump did this.”

Now, Biden’s team is escalating its efforts to contrast his record against some of Trump’s other controversial initiatives. An ad aimed at Black voters that the campaign released Tuesday, for instance, juxtaposes Trump’s attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act with Biden policies that have expanded coverage, lowered premiums under the law and capped the price of insulin at $35 per month. “Trump was a failure on health care,” a narrator declares, before a Black woman in the ad says: “We cannot go back.”

Trump is a fool to let Jake Tapper and CNN do this debate.

Democrats strategy right here. We’ll scare you into believing they are going to take away your free shite. We will never help you out of the ghetto. We are going to keep you dependent on the government and threatening you that the republicans are going to take away your handouts.

How’s that worked out for the low income people in the urban areas? Crime up, poverty still up, and still dependent on the government after all these years.

Because people now see the difference

When Trump was in charge DC and the media were miserable and constantly told us how awful everything was, while the people were happy.

Now Biden is in charge the voters of this country are miserable and can barely afford to survive as the media tells them how great everything is.

This is what a lot of people forget, Trump was heading into a landslide victory until Covid.

Then country was shut down
Big Pharma hid the vaccine until after the election
MSM had a seat counter 24/7
Kids couldn’t go to school
Everything Trump did the Saint Fauci told him to do was painted as evil while Fauci was praised
People had too much free time and caused nation wide riots
Election laws were illegally change under the guise of Covid

Then Trump still barely lost

Everytime Biden talks about trump tax cuts, trump has to pound him on how he cut taxes for everyone. A vote for Biden is a tax increase for everyone.

He likely wins but do you have any polling data to back that statement?

Your theory is wrong Biden team is extremely worried about the polls and know he will lose. The hiding game no longer works. Biden team crafted this plan with the media for the debates to go in his favor with a friendly venue and low stress without a crowd.

They had 2 outcomes Trump refused and the hail it as Trump was scared to debate as Biden would make 0 concessions. Or option B Trump agrees and the entire debate will be about how bad Trump is and of course Biden will already have the questions and will have pre preped answers.z

This is maddening to me. In January 2021, everyone knew exactly what Trump was, and everyone knew exactly what Biden would be. Stevie Wonder could see that his policies were going to cause economic pain. What did this extra 14% not see back then that drove them to vote for this bullshite?

A nation wide lockdown that had no sight of ending and single handedly being blamed on one man despite the entire globe having the same issue

Trump actually reduced this by EO and Biden (or whatever committee of gaslighting communists is actually running this country) repealed it bc Muh Trump, and then reinstituted it bc Trump was basically right about everything.

My God I loathe that lying demented utter POS
