Will Trump finally go above 50% in the polls with the assassination of Iranian General?

[kentuck]

He has never made it to 50% in his three years in the White House.

Will it help with his re-election campaign?

Democrats that agree with the assassination will only help the Trump campaign? Probably so.

Just something to keep your eye on.

Also, this finally gives the Republicans something they can credit Trump with. They can wave the flag, shoot their guns, and chant "America!" to prove they are right.

1. very good question.

a lot of them are suffering from some serious fatigue. i dont think this will help that.

2. If you are living in a Trump building it would be wise to leave

Even his golf courses are going to be a problem. The Iranians will not just target Americans it will most likely be one American named Trump. There are so many Trump properties I can't see how they will not be targeted.

3. Doubt it. There's no real connection to someone very few people knew about

until yesterday. They killed the former head of ISIS and I already forgot his name.

They could have killed the Iranian guy (sorry already forgot his name) anytime they wanted to, they just chose to do it yesterday.

Trumps big problem is that he will over sell it making it almost moot.

6. Who is the most popular leader or 2nd most popular leader in America?

Would America forget if he/she was assassinated?

9. I was posting in terms of domestic politics

Another of Trump’s problems is that Obama got Bin Laden and there’s no topping that.

4. And if it does, so what? What happens to his popularity when Americans start ...

coming home in body bags from another useless and endless Asian war???

5. It was the right time and right opportunity

... doing nothing would have been the wrong response.

Very dangerous game, but that is the game iran has been playing.

7. They can try and sadly could succeed.

The thing that's against this is it's just Jan. and the election is in Nov. Facts will come out and we will eventually know - but it might not be right away. Already this is very controversial because Iran said they had nothing to do with the attack and other countries have said that drumpf is a liar about this. I just pray it comes out before the election, because yes, stupid Americans do seem to go blind and rally round the flag even when totally unjustified - see Iraq war.

8. I have a feeling it will certainly help the anti-war left. His kids won't fight this war

the poor will.

10. The secondary consequences of this action

will be the test. His poll numbers will rise now but these could be like day old champagne if things turn ugly.

There are 10 months until election and that is plenty of time for things to get out of control and it may will impact the economy too.
