2020-Biden +1, 2016-Hillary +2. Biden probably needs to be at least at +3. Throw in 52% approval vs Obama at 50% on the same date eight years ago.

RCP averages currently has Biden doing 1.6 better than Clinton. Trump outperformed polls by about 2-3 points in 2016 depending on the state. This is going to be a nail biter.

There were a lot more undecided voters in 2016 though.

Obama's approval was at 50% on this date in 2016 where Trump's is 52% in 2020.

Yes I was asking what the significance of that is. Obama wasn't running for anything on 2016.

It means Trump has a higher approval rating than the Lightbringer at the same point in time.

That bodes extremely well for independents to break hard for Trump, and a few Democrats along with them.

Actually he was by proxy. HRC was just going to be Obama's third term.

but Obama at 50% on election eve in 2016 should've still been an indicator of positive things coming on that Election Day

Got it. It was a legit question re: what OP thought the overall significance of Obama's approval rating was. Obama and HRC were obviously very different candidates, and Americans are fickle, so 8 years of Barry O and The Radicals could prove weary.

But I agree it is a positive loose proxy, for Trump.

The 50% approval reference is to 2012, the day before BHO beat Romney, not 2016. OP misstated that

The Rasmussen site comparison is 2012 vs 2020.

Were we supposed to know that from a question mark? The significance is self-explanatory. Obama has been regarded by the media as a massive success while insisting Trump has been a failure but the approval ratings show that people don't see Trump that way. And Obama's approval rating in early November of 2012 was 52% per Gallup.

Looks like a Hunter Biden polygraph test.

Some Gallup numbers from a poll taken for four days immediately before the 2016 election:

Trump approval = 36%, disapproval =61%
Clinton approval = 47%, disapproval = 52%.

That’s your gold standard Gallup poll. LOL
