Donald Trump will win reelection. Do you agree ... ?

[quote]The United States
Donald Trump will win reelection (55 percent)
This is a close one, but I think the balance of evidence favors a Trump reelection. The basics are simple: Decades of political science work on election forecasting imply that presidents running for reelection enjoy an incumbency advantage, that a strong economy helps the incumbent’s party, and that high levels of US military fatalities hurt the incumbent’s party.

In short: Trump is the incumbent, the economy is growing while unemployment stays very low, and despite some close calls, Trump hasn’t started new wars or expanded existing ones in ways that kill a lot of US service members. Combine that with Trump’s geographic advantage over the Democratic nominee in the Electoral College, and I think he has a better than even chance of winning.

I see all that, and I see how powerful Trump's war on principles is, but I still naively think that not all of the Americans who support him are truly as deplorable as he is.

Many believe only some of his lies, and others are probably still sure that their "409ks" are with protecting from the boogeymen he threatens then with.

Hell, he's the one fighting for pre-existing condition coverage despite what all those egghead people who can actually read say.
