President Trump has beaten his biggest political threat to date after being recently acquitted in the Senate’s impeachment trial. The latest Gallup Poll shows Trump reached a job approval rating of 49%, a record.
Presiding over an economy that continues to expand during an election year will likely get Trump re-elected, according to Brad Neuman, director of market strategy at Alger, an investment management company.
Although Trump’s approval ratings are high (relative to where they’ve been), his numbers aren’t as high as past presidents’ ratings were – Ronald Regan reached 68% in 1986 and Bill Clinton was at 56% in 1996.
High voter turnout by Democrats could jeopardize Trump’s reelection chances. But Neuman said the deciding factor will be real per capita income. Looking at many elections over time, “generally, real per capita income – the higher that is, the more votes the incumbent gets, and the lower it is, the less votes the incumbent gets,” he said.

Its the economy, stupid. Just ask Bubba in 1992.
WORD UP
History does not record that Clinton got 56% of the vote in 1996. Reagan didn't get 68% either, but it says 1986, not 1984.
Clinton got 49% of the vote in 1996 enroute to an easy re-election.
“suggesting?”
Buahahahahahahahahahaha!
President Trump will win in November , a 40+ state landslide.
And the GOP will gain in both the house and senate, controlling both IF they play their cards WITH President Trump, and not against him.

Anyone who votes against him is just screwing themselves over, really screwing themselves. You have Trump on one side and literally COMMUNISTS on the other. They are NOT “socialists” they are COMMUNISTS. Bernie Sanders is a COMMUNIST, Fauxcahontas half-sleeves is a COMMUNIST. They want the government owning and controlling everything, they want everyone making the same money “Income equality”, a brain surgeon making the same as a janitor, which is pretty ridiculous to say being that there will be no jobs.
As a small business owner this economic boom is good and bad. Good because the work is coming in as people feel better with their economic situation. But the bad thing is it is brutal to find help. I’ve never seen anything like it. I laugh when I hear demands of $15 minimum wage....hell, I’m advertising $17 start with nothing more that a HS diploma and immediate bump up to $20 after a couple of months of proving themselves....and STILL, it’s nothing but tumbleweeds and crickets. It really is a SERIOUS issue as a business owner.
Everything is better in this country other than democrats.
“...High voter turnout by Democrats could jeopardize Trump’s reelection chances...”
That, along with massive voter fraud...
We really need to watch out for and prevent voter fraud...
The polling world has changed. Most voters are not willing to even answer their phone much less a pollster. I don’t pay attention to any polls.
Yeah, but Ross Perot pulled 8.4% of the vote.
Gosh yahoo....how are Trump’s numbers compared to Obama’s numbers at this time in their first terms?
OOPS!
Gee, y'think?
This country cannot afford not to re-elect Trump.
With impeachment defeated, Trump’s approval rating will rise as the election year unfolds and it becomes clearer that the Democrats are not offering a credible candidate against him or useful policy alternatives. Trump’s reelection will catalyze his accrual of a Reagan level of popularity. And, Trump, being Trump, he will not rest but will press the advantage.
