Obviously COVID-19.  Trump was at 49% approval and things were looking great at the beginning of the year.

No, Trump has been behind in the polls [with various statewide and congressional results to back up those polls] with underwater approval ratings his entire term and was very likely to lose anyway. COVID just made it official.
He won at 38% approval and behind in the polls.  He was now at 49% approval and the far majority of Americans per Gallup said they were doing better than they were 4 years ago.  Record unemployment, record stock market, peace in the Middle East, things were looking great.  

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz.  You know better than that.

Trump never had a 38% approval rating in the last election.  Why?  He never had an approval rating at all, because he wasn't in office!  Favorability and approval are not the same thing.  For incumbents, approval is a better indicator than favorability. 

And his approval number being higher than now isn't that significant.  Things change.  You're talking about Trump's high-water mark...and he still couldn't break 50%.  GHW Bush had an approval rating of 90% the year before the election, and still lost.

Peace in the Middle East like Iranian missile attacks raining down on Iraq? Not to mention the trade wars that were killing the Midwest, or the fact that most Americans aren't invested in the stock market.

His approval went up in March, not the start of the year, and that was only because he made some big promises that would've actually helped--and then failed to follow through on them and went straight into denialism.

It fluctuated between 44-46 early in the year but his disapproval has been consistently over 50% since the start of his term, save for dropping to 49% (approval 47%) when the pandemic started and he made later unkept promises.

Who cares Russia and WikiLeaks stole the election last time. Fitting for someone like Trump whom is corrupted like Vince Mcmahon who ,hired him on Raw and Trump supported Linda Mcmahon against Blumenthal and she lost. Just like nepotism exist with Elaine Chao and McConnell that's why Trump was acquitted on impeachment
.alot of Trump supporters vanished and I am sure people like SN is on Discord. Saying McComb county is Safe R, that's why he pops in and out and say James will win and he wont

Chill.

Also, your argument is pretty stupid.  You're citing one pollster, and it wasn't even anywhere near a consistent trend, just apparently one time they had him at 49%.

Y’all are delusional.  Covid 19 is the obvious answer and should be at 90% (some idiot supporters will say voter fraud I’m sure)

But in many ways that's ridiculous. Covid really should have helped him, if hed just dealt with it sensibly, seriously and competently like any other president would have done. Then Covid would have been a positive factor for him. The world is full of leaders who have seen their approvals go up because of competent handling of the crisis, leaders getting bipartisan support for their efforts. We've just seen Ardern win an unprecedented landslide victory in New Zealand based on her leadership in the covid response. Trump could have settled this election in his favour early in the spring if he'd been the wartime president he claimed to be, but he absolutely and totally bungled it.

So no, 'covid' is not the reason Trump will lose, it is Trumps response to covid which is the reason why he will lose.

What does Gallup think about the election now that we’re reaching the end of President Romney’s second term?

You can't cherry pick a single poll and use that of proof of anything if you want to be taken seriously. What if I pointed to ABC/WAPO's Wisconsin + 17 poll to say that Biden will win Wisconsin by 17?

A real man is consistent with his principles. You can't say Quinnipiac is BS but then only use an outlier poll in your favor. That is unprincipled, disingenuous, and dishonest.

Agreed. Even in the middle of pandemic, most people say they are better off than 4 years ago (that is than with Obiden administration). Historically high numbers.


But it is also about character. Trump's losing despite more people agreeing with him on issues

Trump very much wants to blame China. He pins COVID on them any chance he gets. Though, truth be told, I don't think that attack sticks as well as he thinks it does. I don't think his base will cling to any singular reason for his loss, and correctly so: it isn't just one thing.

Take COVID: Economic COVID, Health COVID, Lockdown COVID, Trump catching COVID, etc, all feel like separate issues
