WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump and his aides have grown increasingly concerned about his reelection chances.
They’ve watched Trump’s standing take a pummeling over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and during a wave of protests against racial injustice.
His allies worry that the president has done something that his November foe has been unable to accomplish: igniting enthusiasm in a Democratic Party base that has been lukewarm to former Vice President Joe Biden.
Internal campaign surveys and public polling show a steady erosion in support for Trump among older adults and in battleground states once believed to be leaning decisively in the president’s direction.
