Gallup has released a poll that found a majority of Americans believe they are better off than they were before Trump’s election four years ago:

The same poll reported that a majority of Americans believe that Trump will win the election as well:
And with a 16% margin! That’s pretty incredible.
Rush asked Trump about this on his show today, noting that this Gallup poll question has never been wrong:

Trump believes in the polling because the enthusiasm in the country is ‘far greater than it was four years ago’. He also noted that there are Trump signs all over the place being stolen and people just don’t want to get involved.
Steve Deace weighed in on this today as well noting the conflict between normal polling and this gallup poll means only one of two things:
A majority now wants ACB confirmed, thinks they're better off than they were 4 years ago, and ranks #coronavirus only their 5th most important issue this election. Meanwhile Trump's strongest issue, the economy, remains number one.

Yet despite this data, the data also shows Trump losing the election — often badly.
There is only one way to reconcile this glaring contradiction: either the polls are systemically wrong/rigged, or people personally dislike Trump so much they'll hand the country to Marxists.

Boy do I hope it’s the former and not the latter. What do you think?
