[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]His stock has only gone up in my view. His popularity is incredibly high among those who voted for him.  And in 2020 he will not have to win a primary, and the Democrats do not have a viable opponent. All to say he will be easily re-elected. [/quote]

WRONG. Not supported by data at all. He has lost support across the board in almost all the states. Considering he lost the election by 3 million votes,it doesn't bode well at all.

WRONG. He didn’t lose the election, and those 3 million popular votes don’t matter in our electoral system. As long as he holds places like PA, MI, and WI, he’ll do fine. And he’s much better poised to win those states in 2020 than he was when he won them in 2016. [/quote]

On “PA, MI, and WI”:
“But the question remains: Has any of this hurt him? Judging from his recent approval ratings in predominantly white, blue-collar Midwestern strongholds, the answer is yes. In Ohio and Wisconsin, for example, Trump saw his approval fall 18 points since inauguration for a net rating of minus 4 and minus 12, respectively. In Iowa it fell 16 points to a net rating of minus 7. Trump has also suffered in Michigan, Minnesota, and demographically similar states like Pennsylvania.
Democratic incumbents who once seemed in danger of losing this year, like Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Tina Smith of Minnesota, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan are now considered relatively safe. “In special elections held in the Midwest since Trump’s inauguration,” notes the Washington Post, “Democrats have improved on their 2016 performance by an average of 11 points.” Democratic House candidates have also recovered lost ground, running competitive races in Republican-held districts.”

I guess that ^PP hasn't heard about the "blue wave", which a R strategist has actually called a tsunami in the making.

And the 3 million votes do matter depending on how it's divided.

Razor thin margins - he won by 2% in six state, some of which are on the list on PP's post.
