So how is Trump trailing in the polls?

When 56% say they are better off than when he took office, that should be a slam dunk easy victory

I still don't understand why anyone would vote to make their lives worse.

Maybe this poll is as screwed up as the rest of them. Why should I believe this poll when I don't believe the rest of them. Don't get me wrong this does sound logical. I just don't trust any of them.

Some people aren't happy unless everyone around them is at their level, even if it means taking themselves down as well.

I think people will largely tell you the truth when it comes to the issues but lie about who they’re voting for. If Trump loses with those numbers, it’s completely on his personal rhetoric and his wishy washiness on Covid.

It is an incredible phenomenon.
People have been electing Democrats who have mismanaged their cities for decades. I can only conclude that the people who vote for instance in Chicago, are living in protected areas unaffected by the widespread inner city violence and don't care about the misery in those parts of the city.

Down vote if you like, but it's because Trump can't get out of his own way. It's almost like he wants to lose.

They didn’t poll in 1996?

He's not trailing in his internal polls only the fake news polls.

Interesting that even during a pandemic, 56 percent of people think they are better off than four years ago.

Obama must've sucked.

The other 44% must be waiters and waitresses that cannot go back to work yet.

I’m a crap ton better. Covid excluded, my savings is growing all the time, we just got a 3% remodel/refinance loans, my insurance is lower than when Obamacare passed, my take home is almost 1k more a month after the Trump tax plans.

My company just topped our best year ever... in September. Everything else is just bonus money waiting to happen. I travel for work and was hamstrung this year but we still managed to kill it.

If your life isn’t better it’s due to a state with poor SALT, a restrictive COVID fear mongering governing authority, or just hating Trump.

Honestly it’s because he can’t seem to ever find a high road. He’s verbally abusive. Take that out of the mix and even with his lying and mismanagement of Covid- he’d still win by a lot. Problem is that he is human garbage to his core and can’t stop. All of this to say Biden got some problems as well.

Biden is a child groper who is covering up his son's sexual abuse crimes.

To call those "problems" makes me question you as a human being.
