Marc Lotter, the director of strategic communications for President Trump’s reelection campaign, expressed confidence that the president’s poll numbers will rise as the nation emerges from the coronavirus.
“[W]hat we’re going to see as the country reemerges, as the economy gets going again, as people realize that the steps the president took not only protected us but also are getting us back up and running again, I think you’re going to see a huge swing of support,” Lotter said on Hill.TV’s “Rising” Wednesday.
Trump saw an initial bump in the polls earlier this year as he began tackling the coronavirus outbreak but has since seen his gains level off and his approval rating has returned to around pre-pandemic levels.
National surveys have also indicated Trump lags all 50 governors when voters are asked about his handling of the coronavirus outbreak.
“I think one thing we have to make sure is that we don’t overreact to any polls that are taking place during the midst of the coronavirus pandemic because you’re going to see a lot of different numbers based on what people are just experiencing on the ground at that very moment,” Lotter said.
