Trump receives 24/7 negative coverage from the media with >95% of stories negative
Obama received fawning coverage from the media with almost all of it being positive.
Yet still, Trump sits equal or ahead in a side by side poll.....either Trump is that much better or the media has inoculated Trump....or most likely a bit of both.
phone polls tend to skew toward likely Dem voters if anything
Trump sits one point ahead of where Obama was at this point, and Obama won his second term easily thereafter.
The economy is being felt, and Americans like it.
Thus far, the Dems message is The New Green Deal, socialism, infanticide and abortion, unfettered immigration, impeach, and RESIST.
Trump will not have any of the branches of government working against him in the next campaign.
Things seem to be heading in a certain direction.
