And there’s virtually no indication that states that narrowly went for Clinton in 2016 are trending in Trump’s direction: His approval ratios are minus 18 in Colorado, minus 15 in Minnesota, minus 12 in Nevada, and minus 27 in New Hampshire. These are, by the way, polls of registered voters, not just “adults,” so they should be a relatively sound reflection of the views of the electorate

    Looks good, but means little

    I remember in 2011 when the GOP was involved in primaries, most of the candidates then beat Obama in a number of polls, but when they arrive at the actual nominee, the polls changed. Same with Trump, until he has the individual he is running against, the person he can demonize, his campaign can focus on, and his foreign help sabotage, the polls are generic at best

    Ordinarily, with the economy going this well, it is inconceivable that a president would have approval ratings anywhere below 65%. For a president with an economy like this to be so far below that, there must be some very real issues with that president. The fact that he can't even get half the nation to like him, with THIS economy, speaks volumes.

    People DON'T like him.

    Even if they support him they don't like him.

    Many of his supporters say they wish he would not be so hateful and divisive, but they 'like what he's doing,' so they support him.

    That translates into tentative support at best.

    Trump has married himself to the DOW. That market plunges and so does his support.

    The only thing standing between Trump and impeachment is the tentative support of his most uncomfortable and weakest supporters. If he dropped to 33% approval then some Republicans would begin to support impeachment. And when that dam breaks there will be no putting Humpty Dumpty back together again.
    If the economy tanks, Trump will tank

    That explains why the GOP lost the house.
