The economy and the president's support
This survey has followed the levels of Trump support and opposition over time. Today, buoyed by their feelings that the economy is at least somewhat good, the ranks of Mr. Trump's strongest backers have risen to 22% from 18% back in January. Many of these backers had previously adopted a wait-and-see approach, labeling themselves as more conditional in their support a few months ago. Supporters overall – both strong and conditional – together remain less than a majority, however, while the ranks of the strongest Trump opponents have remained steady.

FTR -I'll save ya the suspense - there will be no "blue wave". Your friends in the mainstream media won't allow it.

I’m actually growing more and more convinced that Democrats will find themselves in the minority after November 8, staring into a bleak future, experiencing a gut-wrenching, soul-crushing moment, with the horror of a Trump re-election in 2020 staring right back in their faces.

wow - so you're telling me that the mainstream media is predicting that there won't be a "blue wave"..

I swear I've heard that somewhere before.

Blowing the 2016 election against Trump and then the 2018 midterms when POTUS can’t get out of the mid-40s in job approval would be the greatest competitive choke since the 2004 ALCS. I continue to believe Democrats will take back the House partly for that reason. It’s not just the laws of political gravity dictating that the out-party wins big in a midterm, particularly when the president’s not very popular. It’s that teams just don’t choke this bigly, as the president likes to say.

In case the graphic’s too small for you to see, Democrats have dipped to 43.8 percent on the generic ballot, their smallest share of Trump’s presidency and the first time they’ve been below 44 percent. Republicans, meanwhile, are at 40.8 percent, their highest mark of the Trump era and the first time they’ve topped 40.5. Why? In this case the silver bullet is Rasmussen, whose new generic-ballot poll has the Dems up by a single point. A week ago Rasmussen had them ahead by six. As their new data has cycled into RCP’s average of the five most recent national polls, the average itself has risen accordingly, producing today’s three-point gap.
