Gallup has a new poll out that indicates that despite everything the Democrats have thrown at President Trump–emoluments clause, grab them by the [humma-humma], Stormy Daniels, Michael Avenatti, the Russia Hoax, anonymous books, anonymous sources, James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan, Andy McCabe, the Russia Hoax, radicalized federal judges, a hostile bureaucracy, a bullsh** impeachment scam, tantrums by Max-Boot-Jennifer-Rubin-Rick-Wilson, NeverTrumpers, etc.–he is going into the 2020 campaign in an incredibly strong position.
I like using Gallup as a yardstick, not because I am an authority on polling methodology but because they have asked the same questions in the same way for decades and that lets you do a quick apples-to-apples comparison of the numbers.
Let’s get right to the numbers.
Presidential approval rating
This is sort of the gold standard of all presidential ratings though with Trump I think it is misleading. We’ve never really had a president whose persona was such a huge part of how people get their opinions of him. If you ask me if I approve of Trump, I’d probably say no. But if asked about how he’s governed, it would be an enthusiastic “yes.” Gallup asks specifically about approval of the way that Trump is handling his role as president.
Right now, Trump is at an all time high of 49% approval. This is up 12 points since last January and up 5 points since the impeachment nonsense started and up 10 since Eric Ciaramella’s whistleblower complaint became public knowledge. In fact, this is 4 points higher than Barack Obama at the same point in his tenure in the White House.

There is more.
The Schiff show and his sidekick Nadler was not persuasive to anyone who did not already hate the President. It also showed that the GOP approval rating is at 51 percent which could indicate that the Democrats will lose control of the House in 2020. If these numbers hold it could be a wave election for Republicans.
