Reuters Poll Nukes CNN Theory Economy Will Cause Trump to ‘Lose in a Landslide’

It looks like the media’s efforts to denigrate President Donald Trump’s management of the economy are bouncing off his economic support numbers. Sorry, CNN.

Liberal outlet Reuters released a report headlined “Biden losing economic argument to Trump as U.S. begins to re-open.” Then came the eye-opening admission: “U.S. President Donald Trump is trusted more than Democratic nominee Joe Biden to handle the economy, polls show.” In fact, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found “Trump with a 42% to 34% lead over Biden in terms of which candidate was trusted more on the economy.” That's an eight percent advantage.

On May 20, CNN released a predictive report headlined: “Trump will lose in a landslide because of the economy, new election model predicts.” It appears that prediction didn’t hold weight for too long.

In the lede paragraph, CNN tried to put the whammy on Trump using the economy as a foundation for his reelection strategy. CNN lead writer Matt Egan wrote, “The economy has gone from President Donald Trump's greatest political asset to perhaps his biggest weakness.”

Egan continued: “The coronavirus recession will cause Trump to suffer a ‘historic defeat’ in November, a national election model released Wednesday by Oxford Economics predicted.”

The Reuters/Ipsos poll nukes that theory.
