Chris Christie, former governor of New Jersey and one of the president's friends and confidants, says in an interview about Trump that "if he doesn't change course, both in terms of the substance of what he says and how he approaches the American people, then he will to lose."

The president's handling of the pandemic over the past six months and his leadership during the national wave of police violence have prompted many of his allies, even very close allies in both the Senate and House of Representatives, to distance himself from the president's pirates in public.

Reduced support

Trump's trip perform has been fast. Just over four months ago, Trump's chances of winning a second term in the White House were better than ever in his four years: the judicial process had posed no problems, his opinion figures were the best in three years, approaching the 50 percent level, which was enough for re-election of George W Bush and Barack Obama. In addition, unemployment was the lowest in 50 years and the president could easily take on the honor of a seemingly strong economy.

Since then, the corona struck and nearly 130,000 deaths, only in the United States, have deprived the president of the takeover. The support has fallen to 40 percent and unemployment only increases when several states see a wave of new infection cases. But the president does not want to wear a face mask despite the fact that his vice president does, and more and more states are facing compulsory rules for the mask in public contexts.

Not enough fans

His first scattered elections have hardly been successful, regardless of the usual Trump tweet. The only thing he can safely count on is his still incredibly loyal voter base. He has more solid support in the Republican footsteps than many of his representatives, but the fans are not enough - would be the choice today Joe Biden would win.

Trump would lose in so-called "swing states" in the Midwest, in addition to Florida and Arizona, states he won in 2016. It's also open race in several states he easily won four years ago: like Texas, Georgia, Iowa and Ohio.

Party mates distance themselves

It is no wonder that several politicians in his own party are distancing themselves from the president now to be able to vote for their own re-election. Trump is in disarray with much of public opinion, he seems to have lost his previously so firm grip on the party and has not been able to formulate a plan, a compelling message, for how America should be governed during a second presidential term. The economy is usually a candidate's main argument when deciding elections, but Trump no longer has any stocks to rest on and the attacks against Biden have not been effective.

But it is still four months until the November elections and nothing seems to be given in American politics. Dead candidates have risen from the grave before, a scandal can always change the playing field and, as you know, you don't have to win the most votes to win an election in America.
