New Gallup monthly. Approval numbers out

Gallup used to track trump approval daily, then weekly, now monthly.

April 4th numbers just came out. He is at 45% approval Nationwide. This matches his highest number from June 2018.

Some of you might want to save keystrokes..
* It's Gallup, owned by GOP
* National polls don't matter
* It's too early to worry about polls.

If Trump goes into the election with a 45% approval, and most of the 45% vote for him, then he would need just a few percent more of the voters to win the election. Since Americans have a tendency to re-elect, a Trump victory would not be inconceivable. Scary thought.

Will the economy hold up until November, 2020?
