Brutal battleground state polls for Daffy Don, just brutal!!!
Battleground bloodbath: Clinton leads Trump in 7 swing states
Trump battleground plan relies on skeptical GOP leaders
It's not March, so the Carter-Reagan comparison is.....poor.
Additionally there are no American Embassy hostages being held, no rising gasoline prices or inflation.
Obama's approval ratings are higher than they were in '12, which bodes well for his successor.

That upswing is also reflected in other recent polls: The latest Gallup survey puts Mr. Obama's approval rating at 52 percent, and his disapproval at 44 percent. A recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll put those numbers at 51 percent and 46 percent, respectively.
That could be good news for Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, and other Democrats on the ballot in November. It's historically been difficult for an outgoing president's party to hold onto the White House if that president is saddled with poor approval ratings - Just ask 2008 Republican nominee John McCain or 1968 Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey.
The opposite is also, true, however: A popular outgoing president can do a lot to help his party's candidates win. George H.W. Bush, for example, was able to capture the presidency fairly easily in 1988 running as the heir to Ronald Reagan.
