In more ordinary times, I'd say that the onset of a global crisis like COVID-19, in an election year, would be far more likely to help an incumbent president than hurt them. The executive branch will be at the forefront of efforts to protect and aid the public and the vast power and resources at the president's command allows them to become the visible hero of the crisis. Handle the crisis with a modicum of competence, add a dash of public relations flair, and re-election would be a near certainty.
These are not ordinary times.https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/59d3df26200000fb15084e57.jpeg?cache=5fjvb61ptb&ops=scalefit_720_noupscale

oh, I agree he'll still get his 48% of the popular vote and a fistful of EC votes from the south and Midwest no matter how he bungles this. it's more an observation on how a halfway competent incumbent would have their re-election in the bag already. yet, his approval rating has never been above 50% since a couple of days after his inauguration. this crisis ain't gonna help him one bit, even though it would help almost any other incumbent in history.

just sayin. my wife was convinced trump was going to win in 2016 and she's convinced he's going to win this time. she doesn't follow election news. i don't know what basis she uses for these predictions. ley lines, maybe. but i do think that whoever gets the nomination is going to have a fuck of a fight on their hands. i'm particularly worried about bernie because young people just don't vote. i want him to win so bad. warren's.... aight but it's very difficult for me to trust anyone who was ever a republican. yeah yeah the good samaritan - i know, but i'm still wary. probably dumb of me. feel like she'd drone-strike the shit out of some people. again, based on nothing, not even ley lines. but like kevin k said, a lot of that's beside the point. the point is, appoint left-wing judges and don't start wars. and maybe actually staff federal departments again. just a thought. m4a and green new deal will require years of bottom-up fighting regardless of who gets the nomination.

I heard an interesting piece on the radio about the two types of swing voters. One of course is white voters who swing from Democrat to Republican. But they're relatively small compared to the other swing voters, the ones who swing between voting and not voting. For example, the number of people who voted for Obama and then voted for Trump is significantly smaller than the number of people who voted for Obama and then didn't vote in the 2016 election. I'm not sure which of the potential Democratic nominees is strong enough to keep enough of those other swing voters away from sitting it out again.

A big part of the electability argument for Bernie is that the presumption that he would be able to turn out voters who didn't vote in 2016 or voted third party.

I just looked up the 18-29 voter turnout since 2004.
2004 presidential: 49.02006 midterm: 23.52008 presidential: 51.12010 midterm: 20.42012 presidential: 45.02014 midterm: 19.92016 presidential: 46.1 2018 midterm: 35.6
Midterm data from here and here. Presidential data from here.
It doesn't look like Obama had a significant effect on turnout, but there was a huge increase between 2014 and 2018 because of Trump.
― jaymc, Sunday, 1 March 2020 22:09 (four years ago) link
Of course, that's no guarantee that the 18-29 vote will go up in 2020.
For one, the midterm vote in 2018 was still lower than the presidential vote in 2016, so it's possible that the 2014-to-2018 midterm increase came from people who always vote in presidential elections but don't always vote in midterms.
For another, midterms aren't dependent on a single candidate. If the Democratic nominee doesn't inspire enthusiasm among young voters, they probably won't turn out in great numbers.
― jaymc, Sunday, 1 March 2020 22:38 (four years ago) link
midterms are always ~25% below presidential numbers is the thing. the 2018 turnout was extraordinary. the increase in turnout came from anti-trump sentiment, and a smart candidate in 2020 will do the same.

― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 1 March 2020 22:53 (four years ago) link
was gonna say, the turnout in 2018 overall was the largest since they've kept those figures. after 1970. the highest overall turnout at a midterm was 42% in 1982, and it had shrunk significantly to 36.7 in 2014.
the 16% increase for those 18-29 was the highest of any age group. and although fired up Trumpers may have definitely increased Republican turnout, I'm with m bison, a large portion of that increase was an anti-Trump bloc who helped the Dems pick up 40 seats.
xpost yes, completely apples and oranges. like milo said, Presidential always greatly outpaces midterms. since they've kept records, the lowest turnout for a Presidential election was 48.9% in 1924. The only midterm turnout that exceeded even that figure was....2018.

i'm particularly worried about bernie because young people just don't vote.
Minority turnout has a bigger impact. Youth turnout was basically the same between '12 and '16 but minority turnout (and share going to Democrats) dropped, which is where you get the difference between Obama's comfortable re-election and Hillary losing.
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Sunday, 1 March 2020 23:03 (four years ago) link
it could also have included people who have never been eligible to vote in a Presidential election, or have been but never voted before. But I don't see why that's a pejorative. Because 2018's referendum on Trump likely inspired that stark increase in voting turnout, 2020 could wind up inspiring people who haven't voted in either type of election to show up.
2012's Pres election was largely won by turnout. If Dems get out the vote, it can happen again.

it's always hilarious when McConnell gets ahead of Trump, funny how he hasn't learned his lesson.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) hit the brakes Tuesday on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) plan to move ahead with a fourth stimulus package that would include major infrastructure spending and other Democratic priorities.
“I think we need to wait a few days here, a few weeks, and see how things are working out,” McConnell said on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”
“Let’s see how things are going and respond accordingly,” he added. “I’m not going to allow this to be an opportunity for the Democrats to achieve unrelated policy items that they would not otherwise be able to pass.”
McConnell's remarks came the same day that President Trump encouraged Congress to pass a $2 trillion infrastructure bill as the next piece of coronavirus legislation.
"With interest rates for the United States being at ZERO, this is the time to do our decades long awaited Infrastructure Bill," Trump tweeted.

what's really sad is that he's talking there about his administration's decision to roll back the fuel economy standards that obama set into place, not even as a favor to the automobile industry (believe it or not they actually advocated for keeping the existing standards, which are more in alignment with Europe and other countries), but just because obama did it.

obviously lying about the positive impact on the environment (shocker: in terms of climate change, this is his biggest and final move to increase US emisisons). and on the face of it it seems VERY dubious to tell people that the price of cars is going to go down by $3500 while not mentioning that they're going to have to buy more gasoline per mile.
by the way, the standards they dropped it to are so low that they're below even what the industry is already doing by itself:
The new rule, which is expected to be implemented by late spring, will roll back a 2012 rule that required automakers’ fleets to average about 54 miles per gallon by 2025. Instead, the fleets would have to average about 40 miles per gallon. To meet the new number, fuel economy standards would have to rise by about 1.5 percent a year, compared to the 5 percent annual increase required by the Obama rule. The auto industry, without any regulation, has recently achieved an average annual increase in fuel economy of 2.4 percent.

if it's a failure to make climate change even worse, than that's the best case scenario. but the pessimist in me also notes it's also a failure to press for strong economy standards that actually PUSH the auto industry to improve fuel economy more than they otherwise would. in other words, in an ongoing climate crisis, it's a very obvious missed opportunity to at least press them to do something more than BAU
