Why don't you come back beef curry !!
In general Trump is doing very well on aspects of the economic questions. It's his one, and arguably only area of strength.
Unfortunately it is probably quite overrated as a meausre (not to say it's unimportant, but it's not the golden bullet people make out).
What I also take from those numbers, is while people feel ok, they perceive their to be a major problem in the wider populus. That is damging for Trump.
We have incredible numbers here on polling, as essentially duality politics has collapsed. In America they still have it. What it really means, is if you are approaching or worse below 40% on a metric you are in trouble. If both sides have 40% core votes, it's then a race of the other 20% of people. 40% essentially means you are winning 0% of the people you need to convince.

The derby is too important to miss when there still days left in the calendar. I have voted the first day before here in Asheville but had never seen it this busy. I'm encouraged that we are going have a huge turnout in the city and hopefully at the state level too.
even this bugs the crap out of me.
Pre Covid.
He deregulated every safeguard Obama put in place. Obama didn't enact them for fun, he did it for the good of our health.
Then he sets up a corporate tax bailout, drastically dropping corporation tax (It probably needed to be dropped, but doing it in such a huge increment leaves no wiggle room. Most of the major companies invested in stock buy backs giving the dow a false bump. The savings weren't passed on to the workers.
He kept pressure on the feds to keep interest rates on the floor, again giving no wiggle room in time of emergency.
All this while driving national debt through the roof.
Covid.
He gave a huge bailout to massive corporations when the public money should have gone directly to workers.
He played down the virus while tipping off his cronies to dump stock.
He has prioritized Judicial appointments over a stimulus package
His complete lack of a plan has led to mass unemployment.
And to think, if Biden wins, we'll be faced with four years of republicans griping about fiscal responsibility and the national debt.
aaaah... just needed to get that out.

Kamala Harris was supposed to be having an event this morning at the community college where I work but we just received an email notifying us the event had been cancelled because someone in her campaign had tested positive for Covid-19. I sure hope she, and Biden, stay healthy this last stretch of the campaign.

Sweetheart, she's got friends in low places, including Alabama
That's because, in general, Americans are dumb as sh!t
Maybe not dumb, but definitely ignorant and poorly educated
Bless his heart
True, I have some very smart friends who play dumb in real life
I have a family like that
