What are Donald Trump's chances for re-election in 2020?
If history is any guide, pretty good.
In early 1994, Bill Clinton's approval rating after two years in office hovered around a dismal 40 percent. The first midterm elections of the Clinton presidency were an utter disaster.
A new generation of younger, more conservative Republicans led by firebrand Newt Gingrich and his "Contract with America" gave Republicans a majority in the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Republicans also picked up eight Senate seats in 1994 to take majority control of both houses of Congress.
It was no wonder that Republicans thought the 1996 presidential election would be a Republican shoo-in. But Republicans nominated 73-year-old Senate leader Bob Dole, a sober but otherwise uninspired Washington fixture.
By September of 1996, "comeback kid" Clinton had a Gallup approval rating of 60 percent. Dole was crushed in an Electoral College landslide.
Barack Obama was given a similarly dismal prognosis after the 2010 midterms, when Democrats lost 63 House seats and six Senate seats. Republicans regained majority control of the House, though Democrats clung to a narrow majority in the Senate. At the time, Obama had an approval rating in the mid-40s.
Republicans once again figured Obama would be a one-term president. Yet they nominated a Dole-like candidate in the 2012 election. Republican nominee Mitt Romney had little appeal to Republicans' conservative base and was easily caricatured by the left as an out-of-touch elite.

Dont need mass media hackster telling me this.
And the price of gasoline is down below the gas prices of Obama.
Those are just two reliable factors of a good economy and eight years for a Republican president.
Nancy Pelosi and the socialist barfly will do wonders for the Trump campaign in 2020.
How can Trump’s Re-election Chances Be Better Than I Think? I think his chances are 100%.
But as the gal in Zero Dark Thirty said, “You guys hate certainly, so 95%. But it’s 100%.”
The Left is telling more lies about the landslide that is coming because that
is all they can do - lie. But they can’t stop the coming landslide.
Yeah, well, I don’t doubt that in an honest and fair election, that would be the case.
I don’t expect that out of the dems.
I think the vote fraud machine will be cranked up full tilt.
Hanson is no mass media hackster!
He has one of the most common sense, articulate, intelligent voices today!
While I want President Trump to win, you must remember vote harvesting, lying cheating stealing Democrats are going to manufacture everything they need to steal this election. Count on it.
Putting a Junket ban on Crongress is a winning peoposition.
I think it’s going to be a cakewalk to re-election. Trump is what people have been waiting for, someone who fights for us. He doesn’t mince words and he does what he says he’s going to.
What’s not to like? Even young people and minorities may start seeing the light. After all, the dems msg is ‘let’s go back to the suck of Obama’. That’s all they got.
There has to be some extra special attention to voter fraud in 2020....
I’m convinced.
For 2016, they were so sure that Hillary had it in the bag, they didn’t even try. They were caught flat footed and scrambled like crazy to fix the elections but it was too little too late.
I don’t think they’ll take anything for granted next time.
Soon as the ballot is released, they will be cranking ouit fraudulent ballots and having boxes of them ready to turn in.
If Trump; wins reelection, then parting the Red Sea will look like child’s play.
His reelection is all but certain. Most Presidents post-war have been reelected. Ford wasn’t elected to begin with and barely lost; Carter’s so-called Presidency was a disaster, and Bush would have been reelected but for Perot.
I’ve always thought Trump’s 2020 reelection was 100% so it can’t get any better than that.
I really think there should be a standard election process nationwide instead of each state having their own system....
Pelosi did NOT go to Puerto Rico.

Obviously, you have no idea who VDH is.
I think they are excellent right now.
