Arnon Mishkin: Trump vs. Biden race is suddenly shifting – and that gives president this key opening

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing recession, the Trump campaign sought to move voters from thinking about the election as “do I want a Trump second term?” to “Who’s better – Trump or Biden?”

But to date, the polling suggests nothing has worked.

Attacks on former Vice President Biden for being too close to China…too close to Ukraine…too tough on crime (author of the 1994 crime bill)…a supporter of “defund the police” and a captive of the Sanders/AOC wing…or even just plain dotty have not measurably moved the polling.
