I do think so.
I wonder what it is among registered voters and likely voters in key districts.
Democrats and the liberal media are now going to have to accuse Trump of hating babies and kicking puppies and kittens. Nothing they throw at him is working to drag down his support. Maybe they should start a rumor that Trump is days from dumping Mueller and his investigations. Maybe a trip to “The View” to have it out with Whoooopppeee will get liberals excited about finally having a chance to dump Trump.
Trump’s approval rating is much higher, wanna bet?
Polling for RATs to take the midterms is insane, BTW!
Note, it’s “among Americans”, not among registered voters.
How many were illegal aliens?
Given the various contemporary pieces of political importance in the U.S., my intuition says the GOP is going to crush it this coming November ... While my instinct is not quite as strong it was in 2016 that Trump was going to win (thereby impelling me to bet big bucks on predictit.com which had stupid odds that Trump was going to lose), I believe the tea leaves all point to a historically unlikely midterm win by the party in power.
I see at least thirty reasons why the GOP is favored over the Dems for the 2018 midterms:
1. A booming economy ... one of the best since WWII, and one that quickly materialized, even after decades of chronic under-performance and low-level recession during the lackluster Bush/Obama decades.
2. Major tax reform benefiting regular folks and super-charging the economy, most of whose benefits have yet to even arrive, e.g., hundreds of billions of repatriated profits still arriving onto our shores from the rest of the world and which have yet to be invested into domestic manufacturing infrastructure.
3. Nuking the obamacare mandate.
4. North Korea denuclearization headed in the right direction.
5. Trump keeping promises on dozens of issues, including withdrawing from TPP, withdrawing from Paris climate nonsense, halting payment of U.S. money for U.S. enemies like Palestinian terrorists.
6. Trump QUICKLY destroyed ISIS, but otherwise kept us out of foreign wars and fruitless and ridiculously expensive “nation building” exercises in shithole countries.
7. Deporting MS-13 and other really bad illegal aliens.
8. Implacably fighting back against the leftist fake stream media, driving them to such extremes of rage that they have now lost all credibility with the regular folks and now have lost early all ability to influence people’s beliefs.
9. GOPe/RINO/Globalist anti-Trumpers exposed and going down the toilet.
10. Best economy since WWII, including lowest black unemployment, lowest Hispanic unemployment, and highest female wages in history.
11. Highest stock market in history.
12. Forced NATO nations to pay billions more of their share, with more to come.
13. Temporary tariffs have panicked the EU into complete capitulation, with Canada and China soon to follow. Mexico is not far behind with U.S. threats of withdrawing from NAFTA all together if Mexico doesn’t cooperate.
14. Implemented massive deregulation of industry.
15. CAFE standards about to be rolled back.
16. Eliminated BS carbon regulation.
17. Already appointed one strict Constitutionalist to SCOTUS, with a second soon to follow.
18. Appointed 44 Federal judges to date.
19. Halted immigration from Muslim terrorists countries and implemented extreme vetting in general on legal immigration.
20. Cracked down on illegal immigration in general, stemming the flood from Mexico.
21. Put warriors back in charge of the military and made warfare the principle aim of the military instead of various social justice ideologies.
22. Strong supporter of Israel, including moving U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.
23. Strong relationship with Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
24. 24% reduction in UN payments, including playing hardball at every juncture at the UN.
25. Trump’s election and the Clinton’s resultant loss of their singular iron grip of the Dem Party has effectively destroyed the Dem Party, which has no platform at all except “Trump is evil”, has now lost all party discipline, splintering into internecine infighting and allowing its lunatic and radical socialist, anti-capitalist,anti-law-and-order, anti-border, anti-nationalist, anti-American wings free rein to dominate the national media and national conversation,thus exposing the Dem party to the nation at large as a radical, anti-American party that’s totally antithetical to traditional American values cherished by the great majority of our citizens.
26. Trump’s successes and Dem excesses have triggered the “walkaway” movement with Dems of every generation and socio-economic status publicly leaving the Dem party.
27. Millennial and younger voting generations are now equally split in support of Pubs and Dems, which is unprecedented; plus, Millenials and younger are not likely to vote in the midterms anyway.
28. National Dems are having extreme difficulty with fundraising, while the national GOP has record fundraising.
29. The GOP is more trusted on economic and national security issues than the Dems.
30. Trump’s approval numbers are higher at this point than Obama’s were at this same time in his first term, despite the universal leftist fake stream media’s adulation of Obama then, and their universal hatred of Trump now.
Thus, nearly all the political winds are pointing to a crushing defeat of the Dems in 2018.
32...The EU caves on tariffs...stock market zooms up
33...Set in motion a process to deny security clearance to deep state operatives.
34..Set in motion process to reduce and restructure several gobmint departments.
35..New director of the EPA will continue policies set in motion by the previous director.
And a lot of them hate the fact that "There are no jobs to be had." is no longer an excuse.....
I was finally ‘polled’ for the first time ever. Neilsen sent me a survey to fill out, which was supposed to be about where I shopped and what I bought.
3/4 of the way in, it started asking for my political views.
I tossed it in the burn barrel, filled their Postage Paid return envelope with junk mail and sent her off. Don’t ask for my opinion on shopping at Macy’s, then turn it into politics.
I kept the nice, crisp $1 bill they also sent me. Yeah, I’m a JERK that way. ;)
Got stuck on that bold type I see. Of course, we all know if the Beast were dictator of the country she would have a 100% rating because that is what Pravda would be reporting in Sodom on the Potomac.
That’s why I hate these stupid “approval” polls. Not really an OBJECTIVE at all.
Well, that is all well and good, but the only important one is Trump’s - the rest is irrelevant.
Hey media! keep up the good work! keep up the stories on the “sex tape” and the “trade war.” You made up both from pure bull$hit and the public knows it.
Got stuck on that bold type I see.

Look at it again.
Trump is at number 3.
His wife is number 2.
Everybody else is below Trump - except for the irrelevant Biden.
If we really do get a favorable tariff agreement out of the EU, I would expect Trump will get another bump. A lot of people were upset about the tariffs.
At the same point in time in his first term (July 26-Aug 1, 2010) the Gallup Poll had Obama at 45% approve/47% disapprove and 8% unsure or no opinion.

Probably neither.
Oops misunderstood. probably a 2-5% bump.
Dang, sorry bout that.
