A majority of Americans are currently willing to eat at a restaurant (54%), stay in a hotel (51%), go to work (78%), go grocery shopping (94%), get a haircut (67%), attend church (51%), and go to a shopping mall (51%), per latest @ABC News/Ipsos poll.
improving economic activity by November is of utmost importance to Trump, he knows it in his gut, but interesting that it is the numbers of the election advisors and election geeks as well:
One thing about models that use economic data as part of their election forecast is the economy is expected to materially improve by November. We have Trump as a 9-10 point popular vote underdog based on current conditions, but only 4-5 points using projected Nov. conditions.
I wonder, though, if anyone has tried the cold-hearted and extremely complex project of quantifying the effect of a 1,000 deaths a day happening continuously and a burnt out health care system by then unable to take care of other health care needs of the population adequately...with flu season starting and beds refilling....etc
throw in rising crime rates as another variable...
