That isn’t to say that a Biden victory in November is inevitable or that Trump’s performance in polls won’t improve, but according to journalist Bill Scher, history shows that Trump’s chances of turning things around are not good.
In a Real Clear Politics article, Scher (a contributing editor at Politico) explains, “It’s only late June. A lot can happen in four months, right? Let me put it this way: in the history of presidential election polling, no elected incumbent president has ever come back from as big a hole as Trump is now in.”

From the OP link:
"Should we declare Trump finished? Of course not. Just because no elected incumbent has ever come back from 10 points down doesn’t mean Trump can’t become the first. But whether or not a comeback happens is likely out of Trump’s control.
He appears incapable of changing his bombastic approach to governing, making it hard for voters to change their perception of his presidency. Biden’s chummy, empathetic image has solidified in the public mind, so much so that his penchant for gaffes has yet to derail his candidacy. Biden probably would have to commit a gaffe of an extremely more serious nature than anything he has done to date, if he is to sabotage himself.
Furthermore, Trump’s ability—at this juncture—to contain the coronavirus and rejuvenate the economy is also limited. Many of us probably aren’t expecting any autumn miracles, and even if there is one, the public may not give Trump any of the credit. Still, an economy on the mend could well help Trump close the current polling gap.
We can’t know the future, but we can know the present. At present, a majority of the public has soured on the Trump presidency and is ready to end it. As history shows, that is not a good place to be. For Trump to win, he will have to—some way, somehow—make history."
That's the thing. We can not let up. DT has demonstrated the ability to come back from scandals that would have sunk any other politician. We can not write him off.
Any complacency is the opening he is looking for. He needs something to turn this around. He's is going to be looking for it, whatever it might be. We have to remain focused, together. We can right this terrible wrong that has plagued our country. This faker who pretends to lead but only looks out for himself. This out-of-touch elite who thought he could blow off a world pandemic with BS, thought he could get everybody to pretend it's not real. We have got to remain focused and replace this president.
And he needs to face justice for his many alleged crimes without the special privileges of being president. We cannot let him go on to be a voice of the hatred movement after he is out of office. He needs to be publicly shamed for the criminal he appears to be. All of his cult needs to see him exposed for the selfish uncaring elite that he surely is.
