The Teflon Don- Covid-era approval rating may signal November success



"I'm number one in this b**h
Now they understand why I'm running this sh**,
From the bottom to the top
I be ballin' till I drop 
and I'm never gone stop"
--Rick Ross, "No 1.",  ALBUM; Teflon Don

"The Teflon Don" - a phrase popularized by the media to describe how mob boss John Gotti continually beat the rap brought against him by federal and state authorities. To date, in comparison, Prez Donald Trump has likewise continually skated through a round of rapsheets- emerging seemingly unscathed. Like boss Gotti, Trump goes for a colorful, highly visible controversial style, refusing the low key, corporate management approach taken by other presidents or mafia bigwigs. Nor is a comparison to syndicate bosses necessarily seen as a negative. In fact, some supporters or observers may argue that in his position, given problems, enemies and "sucka MCs" all around, you have to be "gangsta"- so to speak. The reader is left to do the relative comparisons.


Polls are all over the place. One May 2020 Washington Post poll put Trump as behind Biden in approval. As The Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey reports- QUOTE:

"Aides described Trump as in a particularly foul mood last week because of the polling data and news coverage of his administration’s response to the pandemic, according to two of the people familiar with the discussions. In one call, he berated Parscale over the polling data, the two people said. At one point in that call, Trump said he might sue Parscale, though one of the people with knowledge of the comments said he made the remark in jest. News of Trump’s eruption at Parscale was first reported Wednesday by CNN.

Trump told Parscale that he did not believe the polling that had been presented to him, even though it came from the campaign and the RNC.

“I’m not losing to Joe Biden,” Trump said at one point, both of these people said, adding that the president used profanities throughout the call.

Here’s the thing, though: He is losing to Joe Biden, and Trump didn’t need to look at internal data to see that. Those internal numbers only seem to affirm the crystallizing picture we’re seeing from public polling.

In the month-plus since Trump saw a momentary bump in his approval rating early in the coronavirus outbreak, we’ve begun to see polling in key states trickle out. And the numbers don’t just suggest that Trump trails in the three all-important battleground states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — they also suggest that he might have to fend Biden off in some states that should be relatively safe. And if he is losing or even just struggling in these kinds of states, Trump will have a very difficult time piecing together the 270 electoral votes he needs.



But a National Review piece claims that Trump poll ratings have never been higher. Quote:

"President Trump’s approval rating hit an all-time high in a Gallup survey released on Friday [May 1, 2020], with 49 percent of respondents approving of his performance versus 47 percent disapproving. The results continue a wide swing in polling for Trump, who garnered a 43 percent approval rating two weeks ago.

“Most of the variation in Trump’s recent job approval rating is among independents,” Gallup said. “In the current poll, 47% of independents approve of the job he is doing as president, the highest Gallup has measured for the group to date. 93% of Republicans and 8% of Democrats approve of the job Trump is doing.” 

However, RealClearPolitics polling averages place the president at 44.3 percent approval versus 50.6 percent disapproval as of Friday. Averages of general election polls give Trump 42.1 percent to Joe Biden’s 47.4 percent."



HooooKay… So which is it? Well, it doesn't have to be an either - or proposition. What the datasets show is that there has been some convergence in popular support, with Biden having a small edge early in the game. But how will this translate in an election? The "Hilary Steamroller Stumble" of 2016 saw pollsters and the media stumble badly - with some predicting a landslide, and severely underestimating Trump's level of support. It could be countered that Hilary won the popular vote,  somewhat of a validation of pre-election prognostications. True, but the popular vote does not win the presidency. A particular demographic or set of states can tip an election. Per one analysis, White working class voters (proxy: whites without college degrees), cast 37- 44% of votes in the 2016 election, outnumbering other voting clusters. Trump walked away with about 70% of these in the places where they counted most.

Which is why The Teflon Don may yet succeed, unless Dems can put together the right combination to win. This will be difficult. The "Covid Crisis" has seen some approval bump for the Don- its overall effect may not be damaging, indeed it may be positive overall, in creating a lot of the media "churn" or "noise" on which Trump thrives. Meanwhile, Biden has his sexual harassment "Grope Gate" scandal to worry about and The Don is relentlessly exploiting that gift. Add in the appeasement Biden has to do to get all the fractious elements of the Dem coalition on board, and the memes, fake news and talking points of the propaganda grist mills are easy to guess. Where have we seen this one befo' pilgrim?

It could be argued that the luck of a previous Don, John Gotti, eventually ran dry. True, but the last election saw pundits of the media and pollsters overestimate the influence of the college educated set, and underestimate the impact of the key Trump demographic- non college educated lower socio-economic whites, particularly males. Will the same mistake be repeated, again underestimating "The Teflon Don"?
