High jobless rates in Florida, Arizona, Pennsylvania point to problem for Impeached pResident tRump

The unemployment rates in Pennsylvania, Florida and Arizona, three of the tightest contests in the country, stood at 13.7 percent, 11.3 percent and 10.6 percent, respectively, in July, the most recent month recorded. The national jobless rate in July was 10.2 percent, and it fell to 8.4 percent in August.

Polls show impeached tRump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden in a razor-tight race for Florida’s 29 electoral votes. If impeached tRump loses Florida, he would likely need to win virtually all of the other big swing states up for grabs.

No Republican presidential candidate has lost Arizona since 1996, but Biden is ahead in polls. If impeached tRump loses Arizona, even a win in Florida likely would leave him needing to win two of the three big states he took from Democrats in 2016: Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

Michigan and Wisconsin had jobless rates in July of 8.7 percent and 7 percent, respectively, lower than the national rate. Impeached tRump is trailing in the RealClearPolitics average of polls in both states. - The GOP rag that is The Hill
