points out. The other three were Harry Truman in 1948, Gerald Ford in 1976 and Jimmy Carter in 1980. Their races all tightened, but both Ford and Carter lost. Truman, who wound up winning, was down by about 10 points, but he"didn't have an opponent who was already pulling in more than half the vote [as Biden is]," Enten writes.
As president, Trump's highest average approval rating was 47.8% — days after he took office — and hasn't risen above 45.8% on average since. And apart from those first days in office, Trump has never been more positive than negative in his approval rating — in more than three years. So Trump is at a disadvantage if this election is a referendum on his tenure as president.
Trump hasn't polled above 46% in an average of the polls against Biden. Currently, he stands at 42%. So the math isn't complicated — Trump needs to expand the number of people saying they'll be voting for him if he hopes to win reelection.
And I would like to see the budget for this soiree because I could see these scheisters try to say that the RNC and our tax dollars should share costs since they had those naturalization and pardoning ceremonies there. Did anyone ask about that?
i'm soooooooooo f*cking tired of being soooooooooo f*cking irked - it's any & every time i see anything he's involved in.
I believe we have a choice and moreover I believe DT will remain a positive systems thinking president looking to fulfill the needs of America without harming the future. I look forward to his address and his inspirations.
What kind of “s” is this? Yes the president can stand in the rose garden and make a speech or accept nomination! It’s his residence to occupy as president. Gee where was the outcry when Obama modified whitehouse tennis court to make also basketball.
Because 2020 is so normal.
Can we all agree not to watch?
Republicans please step up and break tradition,do not nominate Trump to run for a second term.
Time to wear historic tricorne military hat. Wave upside down American flag, intently. Laws, codes, ethics, morality violated without impunity, discord! Military never to be used against its citizens! Nor armaments! Voting suppression in progress. Dark silence, achieves command!
Hey NPR... The President breathes oxygen.... is that okay.
With this administration, there are no ethics or norms. Do whatever the heck we want and who’s going to stop us ... that’s the norm
This kind of behavior ignored and tolerated by the Democrats will get Trump re-elected.
Nothing this guy does surprises me anymore. He’s despicable incarnate.
We are surprise by now that Trump has zero ethics or fu¢ks given on the presidential office?
gut these fish Send a message to repressive and elitists leaders by charging Trump with CrimesAgainstHumanity
SOOO unethical. He should have done it from the White House basement.
We know Trump has no ethics so why is this surprising?
That is NOT his House. It is the People's House!! I absolutely abhor his using it as a backdrop!! He is anything but Presidential - and, further it is just wrong, no matter who is trying to profit from its symbolism.
realDonaldTrump has no ethics or morals, so this is not surprising.
'Criticized by ethics experts.' Yep, NPR just can't say 'President Trump will deliver his remarks from the White House.' ALWAYS negative spin from NPR when it comes to Trump but Biden gets constant free passes. And then there's Fresh Air - ANOTHER travesty of the program today.
Speaking of the conventions, did (D) JoeBiden lay out a clear agenda, or does just (R) Trump need to?
can y’all please protest loud enough to disrupt his remarks?
“Norm-breaking move criticized by ethics experts.” JUST SAY CORRUPT.
As if POTUS gives a crap about ethics.
Norm breaking, like voting by mail, virus is norm breaking, good one
How is it normally done during a pandemic?
Translation: let me tell you about the law that Trump is scheduled to break on Thursday.
“Norm breaking” You mean “lying?”
Donald Trump is a TEMPORARY resident of OUR White House acting as if he OWNS it. Melania making changes the Rose Garden and Trump using it for his campaign deluded that they’re the OWNERS when they’re just RENTERS
Excellent! Thank you and keep up the fine work, President Trump!
I DON'T know if it's technically illegal. I DO know it's ridiculous and I'm pissed off to be helping pay for it. Someone should take bets on how often he says the name Barack Obama this week... It'll be a bigly amount. (He has a big ol' crush...)
Who’s going to stop him? The GOP? Haha!
Norm breaking. Things aren’t norm.
Hopefully he speaks about the rioting and looting that is destroying businesses owned by ACTUAL hard working citizens of this country. Call them out!!
Oh my god who gives a shit?
Let's start a pool. At what time tonight will Drumpf tweet, 'My ratings were so much higher than Sleepy Joe's. We got the highest ratings ever.'?
He’ll avoid all those 5 questions 🎪🤡
In a norm-breaking move not at all criticized by DNC, more anarchy across our nation Kenosha WI last night, not covered by NPR Gaslighting & manipulation. Race baiting & identity politics. This is NPR National Propaganda Radio DefundNPR
Succinct and I agree
I can't wait for the return of presidential norms.
Short version: No, No, looks like crazy, No plan and no.
Like the others candidate is an angel.
Maybe you haven’t heard, but he’s not big on ethics. Or experts. He’s not really that into speech, either.
I can wait for a return to presidential norms.
Will no one stop this hitler wannabe 😔... people who make a change to better the world always get stopped but evil people like Trump just get what they want... where are all the good people? Where is the American justice 🤷🏽♂️
It’s laughable that he’s saying JoeBiden will bring about what he’s already brought about! Protests, police murdering black people, worst unemployment & largest death count higher than any country(except perhaps Brazil, that loon is just like trump, hates his ppl)! boycottRNC
‘Ethic experts’? Don’t you really mean democrat operatives?
Wasting MORE tax dollars on HIMSELF! Typical Trump, use other people's money as if it's your own. I won't be watching. I don't need to hear more BS from him.
Disgusting
Of course, never shocks me anymore to see him do anything inappropriate or unethical or non empathetic.
I don’t think any formula in the world will put my mind at ease until January 20 when Trump has actually exited the building.
DOPEY LEFTIST BE LIKE 😂🤣🤡🤡🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
He's been hampered by many things but ethics was not one of them.
Donald can’t give up this life where everything is paid for by a bottomless treasury funded by the public. He can live the good life without spending a dime from his pocket. That’s been his lifelong dream!! Good luck getting him out !
Let's see how NPR spins this negatively. They are already getting started with Fresh Air today. More crap from NPR.
I have to ask yet again. When did formerly respectful NPR turn into CNN Jr.? Really miss your objectivity & neutral, yet thought provoking pieces.
It's not a convention. It's a four-day trump rally.
It's not normal, but FDR accepted his party's nomination in a radio address given from the White House in July 1940. In fact, FDR was the first nominee to ever speak at their convention.
It's not norn-breaking, it's a likely violation of the Hatch Act. Do better NPR.
Boycott the Republican convention!
What a slanted piece! Nostalgia?! All I heard was “We’re nice & Orange Man bad!”. The daytime speeches from all the non-binary mermaids princesses & guys w/ wigs didn’t seem all that nostalgic either. Just saying.
who would have ever guessed, that it would be all about Trump ?
Reality show, isn't?
Nothing is ' normal' with this administration. They continue to go lower and lower. He will say and do the outrageous, assaulting our sensibilities.
This is not 'norm breaking'. He is BREAKING THE LAW. Call it what it is, yet another crime in his very long list of crimes committed while President.
DONT WATCH...HE BRAGS ABOUT RATINGS WE CAN CATCH UP ON TWITTER..HE IS FULL OF BS ANYWAY
Let it go, peeps. It's coronatime
'norm-breaking.' Im surprised NPR didn't try to 'both sides' it.
POTUS realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse Do you know what ethics is? OfficeGovEthics MondayMotivation TrumpAdministration TrumpHasNoEthics
Reasons for not delivering speech at the convention? I had a chance to play a round of golf and get some!
It’s that kind of nitpicking nonsense that turns off most Independent voters! Oh, violent destructive rioting doesn’t help either! Ethics expert.🙄
The dude can't do ANYTHING not legally or ethically wrong. It would make a great comic book...as opposed to a reality, n junk.
Can we do to him what FLOTUS did to the Rose Garden?
It’s where he lives. Really?
Law breaking. Say it.
Not just norm breaking. Law breaking.
Trump has no ethics so this tracks.
