Why Trump's approval numbers may be soft [View all]
Donald Trump’s approval rating holds steady at just above 42 percent, but it’s likely not that many will vote for him come election day. Here’s why:
The 2020 election presents a very different picture. Republicans from every state have openly abandoned Trump. Many others will follow suit, though they may not confess it to pollsters now.
In the privacy of the voting booth or at home when voting by mail-in ballot, no one will see or need to know how a Trump supporter votes. There, the COVID-19 catastrophe, Trump’s habitual lying and his multiple failures and transgressions will likely outweigh the need to defend him. And just as Americans voted for Trump in 2016 after telling pollsters they wouldn’t, voters may very well vote for Joe Biden in 2020 after telling pollsters they’d vote for Trump.
