Trump's unconventional presidency is hurting his 2020 chances
CNN Politics ^ | November 24, 2018 | Harry Enten

Poll of the week: A CBS News poll finds that President Donald Trump's approval rating on his handling of the economy is 52%. His disapproval rating on this metric is 41%.

The same poll shows that Trump's overall job approval rating stands at just 39% to a disapproval rating of 55%.

Put another way, his net approval rating on the economy is +11 points and his net approval overall is -16 points, which makes for a difference of -27 points.

What's the point: The CBS News poll is merely the latest one to show that a majority of Americans approve of how Trump is doing on the economy, while a majority disapprove of his overall performance.

It's not difficult to figure out why there would be a split. Americans are far less likely to approve of the President on other issues such as foreign policy and immigration.

That Trump cannot get his overall approval rating up, however, despite what Americans see as a strong economy, is not a great sign for the President heading into his reelection campaign....

Thanks CNN for that advice! Now Trump knows to continue exactly what he's been doing.

Lack of convention is what got him elected.

“Put another way, his net approval rating on the economy is +11 points and his net approval overall is -16 points, which makes for a difference of -27 points.”

Is that Common Core Maths? ;)

If they believed POTUS was hurting his own chances for 2020, their article would have been celebratory and urging him to “stay the course.” That’s quite a fake meme they’ve got there - I’ve even seen it on FR, “Oh, Trump’s chances for 2020 are going down......”

Well... if the Commie News Network is reporting this we know it’s pure BS.

They sure make it easy. Obama did that too. I just instinctively knew anything he was for; I would be against. It took 2 long minutes into his Presidency to figure that one out.

Nonsense.

These are the same kind of polls that predicted a Hillary victory in 2016. And we all know now how accurate they were.

Americans are far less likely to approve of the President on other issues such as foreign policy and immigration.

Every recently-released poll strongly suggests otherwise. ...especially on immigration. Which is why Hillary has desperately tried to position herself as a centrist on that issue. Not going to work, but it's obvious she's read the polls -- a strong majority of the electorate wants secure borders.

Sorry, CNN dolts and clods. We don’t think so.
