Given all the predictions that President Donald Trump would lead the ruination of the U.S., and despite the 24/7 attacks hurled at him from all quarters, Trump got stronger marks than Barack Obama on all but two of seven key metrics that IBD/TIPP has been following for 20 years.
The surprising finding: the much-hated Trump outscored the sainted Obama on all but two of these measures.
On the direction of the country, Obama scored an average 37, while Trump scored 42.1.On quality of life, Obama scored 53.7, while Trump scored 58.5.On economic optimism, Obama scored 46.7, while Trump scored 53.1.On the national outlook, it was Obama 44 to Trump 45.1.Even on the topic of U.S. standing in the world, the public was slightly happier under Trump than under Obama, giving Trump a 43.8 to Obama's 42.6.
Obama did almost as poorly as Trump.
On morals and ethics - which ask people how they feel about the direction of the country regarding these - Obama scored just 34.8, while Trump came in at 30.2.
On the presidential leadership index, Obama got a 49.2 while Trump got 43.2.
So why did Obama win reelection and Trump lost? We'd argue that had it not been for COVID, Trump would still be in the White House, and Democrats would still be rioting over a stolen election.
