Hours after he formally kicked off his 2020 re-election campaign, a new national poll offers some encouraging numbers for President Trump.

The release Wednesday of a Suffolk University survey for USA Today comes a day after another poll in the crucial presidential battleground state of Florida showed the president trailing -- and as several other polls have similarly shown high-profile Democratic candidates ahead.

But the USA Today/Suffolk University survey showed 49 percent of Americans approving of the job Trump’s doing as president, with 48 percent giving him a thumbs down. That’s a more positive showing for Trump compared with other recent polling of his presidential approval rating.

BEFORE anyone should BELIEVE any poll by any group, it should be explained precisely how the poll was conducted to assure that a “random sample” of registered voters were polled.
