In yet another dire election forecast for President Donald Trump, the Cook Political Report announced on Wednesday that the crucial swing states of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are now leaning blue amid Trump’s blundering response to COVID-19 and his near-constant trafficking in racist dogwhistling in recent weeks.
Cook national editor Amy Walters cited Trump’s flatlining approval ratings, which have sunk to the low 40s, and equally disastrous poll numbers against Democratic candidate Joe Biden as the reasons for the shift.
Per FiveThirtyEight, Trump currently trails Biden in Wisconsin by nearly 8 points and in Pennsylvania by 7.4 points. Both states were key to Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton after he won them by razor–thin margins of less than 1 percent in 2016.
Additionally, Walters reported that Biden is currently “slightly favored to win at least Arizona and Florida” among the “toss up” states, which also include North Carolina and now Georgia.
Overall, the upcoming November elections are “looking more like a Democratic tsunami than simply a Blue wave,” Walters wrote, adding that Trump could drag down congressional candidates along with him.

Addendum:
Food for thought:
I think it’s time to start shouting that Trump wants Covid-19 ablaze in Nov. in an effort to help his election chances. We all know this is true. With his followers willing to possibly die for him he will burn this country to the ground just to save his ass.
being saved from Donnie disasters by a Blue tsunami seems kinda appropriate.
We’ve now had about 40 years of concerted propaganda and legal efforts by Right-wing power centers in this country, including the Koch Brothers, Rupert Murdoch, the Hunt, the Mellon-Scaife, Olin and Bradley Foundations, to keep the political pendulum from swinging left.
All this is doing is delaying the swing, and it seems to me that when it happens it’ll be more powerful from being long-overdue. I hope it’ll happen in my lifetime.
