Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Trump has opened up a slender lead in the latest polls, per a FiveThirtyEight tracker, while the bookies place Biden's chances of winning in November at about 45%.
6% : The only US leaders who failed to win another four-year term after presiding over a drop in the misery index were Gerald Ford (scarred by the fallout from the Watergate scandal) and Donald Trump (who lost for reasons that had little to do with his economic policies).
