Here’s the current favorable/unfavorable ratings from RCP of our current political leaders which Trump is included.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/other/FavorabilityRatingsPoliticalLeaders.htmlTrump and Biden are just about as even as they can get in their favorable/unfavorable ratings. I’d add a caveat here. Trump is gone, ancient history and as such he probably looks better today than he did when he was president. Biden is president now, he’s the present. Trump is nothing more than an alternative, a bygone alternative. Not an alternative for today. If Trump were to challenge Biden today, it wouldn’t be long before people would remember why they disliked him so much last year. The reasons are for now forgotten. It’s may be a case of I remember 2 dollar a gallon gas vs. 3.50 a gallon today. I think given a week or two of Trump being center stage, on the boob tube constantly, his favorable’s would fall and his unfavorable’s rise. That’s the way these things work. Biden would once again look like an adult, Trump like the four-year-old spoiled brat when memories return to full bloom.
Don’t underestimate the economy or as I like to say the price of a gallon of gas in determining an election. Neither Trump nor Biden are on the ballot next year. Right now, if this continues since the price of a gallon of gas, (inflation) is viewed as this nation’s number one problem, all other issues are way down on the list. I’d say this, the price of a gallon of gas will determine the fate of the midterm elections. Everything else is secondary. At least as of tonight.
