Trump’s slide in the polls can be attributed to a few factors, from his terrible vice presidential pick to President Biden’s unexpected departure from the race in late June. There’s also a simpler factor at play: voters have seen Trump’s politics of rage and division before. Given a fresh choice, most Americans are eager for something — anything — new. 
 
More than a third of surveyed Americans (36 percent) agreed that the former president would “tear down the system completely” if he wins — and they aren’t thrilled about it. A full 45 percent of Americans believe Trump’s chaos agenda would be bad for the country, with four in 10 saying a second Trump administration would be “very bad.” 

Trump’s biggest liability, then, is that voters know him well and don’t trust his policy judgment or his ability to pick a potential successor.
