In four top 2020 battlegrounds, it's not the economy, stupid. It's Donald Trump.

Donald Trump recently tweeted: “’It’s about the Economy, stupid’, except when it comes to Trump. The fact is, the Fake News Media hates talking about the Economy, and how incredible it is!”

One of the great paradoxes of the Trump presidency is that positive views of the economy have not translated into positive views of Trump. Confidence in the economy is as high as it has been in two decades. Generally, such positive assessments of the economy suggest a much clearer path to a second term for an incumbent president. At the same time, Trump’s approval rating is the lowest among any incumbent president since Gerald Ford in 1976.

Trump is vulnerable in swing states

We will be tracking voter attitudes in these critical states through our Great Lakes Poll during the 2020 race. The first of these polls reveals that Trump has A LOT of work to do if he is to repeat his success in 2020. While respondents give Trump high marks for the economy, they do not seem to think that is enough to award him a second term.

For many, the 2020 election might more accurately center around: “It’s Trump, stupid.” Prospective voters in these states have not embraced Trump and are not fond of the polarization that has defined his presidency. For all the talk of policy differences among Democrats, ultimately their eventual nominee will be best served by keeping the focus on Trump and promoting a message of unity to capture those who have been frustrated by the dysfunction evidenced through last year’s government shutdown and this year’s impeachment battle.
