Gallup also has a presidential tracking poll which shows Trump at 49 percent approval, the highest number during his 3 years in the White House. Everything the media and the Democrats (sorry for the redundancy) has thrown at Trump has only made him stronger and the Democrats weaker.
Other numbers trend in Trump’s favor. The Dow is pushing 30,000, unemployment is at historic lows, wages are up, family incomes are as well, and the latest jobs report of 225,000 new jobs in January beat expectations, as CNN tearfully admitted.
Gallup has taken those blockbuster economic numbers and translated them into how they affect people’s lives, rather than simply as favorable statistics. A week ago, Gallup reported, “59% in U.S. say they are now better off financially than last year and 74% say they will be better off financially in a year.”
The rising tide is lifting many boats and voters may think twice about sinking the boat of peace and prosperity by voting for a socialist just because Trump tweets and uses coarse language.
Gallup also tossed in this tidbit,
Nine in 10 Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in their personal life, a new high in Gallup's four-decade trend. The latest figure bests the previous high of 88% recorded in 2003.
Good luck to any of the angry Democrats selling dissatisfaction over satisfaction.
A couple of corrections: Ras was not the most accurate. Ras had Trump winning the pop vote by 1.5%.
Richard Baris at People’s Pundit Daily had Cankles winning the pop vote and Trump winning the EC with PA, MI, FL, and NC-—his own polling however had Trump winning WI and he admitted he didn’t believe his own polling. So he called WI the night before for Cankles.
Gallup, whose # for Trump is exceptional, does not use “likely” voters. But Gallup now has the GOP with a whopping THREE point advantage in the generic “identify.”
I have never seen this in my life. The most I’ve seen, briefly, was a GOP 1 point advantage. Rs win elections when down as much as three. So this is very significant.
BTW, in 1972 with Nixon’s massive landslide, the Rs gained only a few seats in the House (still held a minority) and lost two senate seats!
President Trump has a very good chance of getting re-elected currently. Hopefully, he will/can pull enough votes for other Republicans to retake the House and maintain Senate majority.
With the rate of Republicans dropping out/retiring, this is a very good chance to replace them with young conservative substitutes. [Why can’t Romney retire?]
It’s about getting out the vote...and winning the house back. We keep hearing little about the house possibilities. Almost as if the Dems are trying to keep it quiet.
9 months out. Black swans, stock bears, and plagues. Yet the President is in a strong position for reelection. However do not expect a Nixon 1972 or Reagan 1984 landslide in the electoral college or popular vote. Demographics are a bitch.
You cannot talk about the 92 campaign without mentioning Ross Perot.
Bush lost because of Perot taking votes away from him, not because of Clinton.
Democrats, regardless of who they nominate will be lucky if they get 10 states this fall...
Short of a complete economic collapse between now and then, or some other black swan event of that magnitude.
Whether it’s wishful thinking or not it is a tactic that is counterproductive.
But it is only countterproductive if you actually support Trump.
Despite all his hard-earned riches, this poor guy needs our help Americans.

Thanks, Chief
I find a lot of parallels between 2020 and 1972. If the Dems follow a similar path as they did in 72 then yes, it will be a landslide. But there’s one major difference. Back in 72 the press and Dem leaders often privately admitted that any Dem candidate was going to be a long shot. They have yet to admit that now. It may be the case that the Dems are in worse trouble than we can possibly know.
Democrats in Congress passed the new taxes (as they are the Legislative Branch... but the Left blames Bush for it, because he eventually signed the bill because he knew it would be a waste of time to refuse, it would simply come back again and again. It was a Democrat trap, not a Presidential failure.
Thanks for the post, but I don’t believe a Trump re-election is guaranteed. There is equal amount of evidence that points in either direction. Things are too roiled right now to make a firm prediction.
