In early June, it gives Donald Trump a one-in-five shot at re-election

The Economist

Four months ago, Donald Trump’s odds of winning a second term had never looked better. After an easy acquittal in his impeachment trial, his approval rating had reached its highest level in three years, and was approaching the upper-40s range that delivered re-election to George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Unemployment was at a 50-year low, setting him up to take credit for a strong economy.

KN95 Mask

IDEAS.TED.COM – Jun 4, 2020 / 

Reopening the economy has often been framed as a partisan issue in the US. But within households, many families are having their own arguments about how lax or strict they should be about the threat of the virus. Is it OK to have friends over? Can we invite Aunt Sally to our birthday party? Can Dad slip away to the golf course? Can Mom get a haircut?

These conflicts reflect two very different mindsets. Some are uneasy about opening up and going against official guidance like wearing masks — better to be safe than sorry, their thinking goes — while others balk at being told what to do, and feel anxious or even angry about constrictions being put in place.        Continue reading →
