The numbers are dismal:’ Trump campaign, super P

“The numbers are dismal,” said one GOP pollster familiar with internal data tracking the state. “Hard to see how it remains competitive.”
Trump, who captured Michigan’s 16 electoral votes by just over 10,000 votes in 2016, is facing a manifold of problems there. A recent CBS poll found 58% of registered voters say Trump has done a “bad job” of handling the coronavirus outbreak and his rating on handling the economy — usually his top strength — stands just marginally better than Biden’s.
Republicans are also watching their support hemorrhage in the suburbs, particularly in Oakland County, which Trump lost by just 8 points in 2016. As much as his base in the western part of his state is drawn to his combative style, there are numbers of traditional Republicans outside of Detroit who recoil from his caustic and unwieldy rhetoric.
