The document discusses the state of the US presidential election with six days remaining. It notes that the race is very close nationally and will likely be determined by key swing states like Ohio, the candidates' performances in the debates, and potential last-minute surprises. Ground games to boost turnout will also be important factors.

9. Det fundamentale
Approval ratings are everything
in an election year. Presidents
Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and
George H.W. Bush all had
approval ratings under 50%.
The other thing they all had in
common? They all also lost
their bid for a second term.
Fifty Percent is the magic
mark. If you’re above that
heading into an election year,
you’re chances remain
promising. This precedent is
not without exception.
President Harry Truman ran
and won reelection in 1948,
with an approval rating in
the high 30’s. However, that
is the only exception.
Every other president since
polling like this began including
Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan,
Bill Clinton and George W.
Bush had an approval rating
above 50% throughout their re-
election year
