8. Yup. Trump's approval is remarkably consistent.

That's both good and bad for him.

Good because, despite the last two years his entire administration being under investigation, the bottom hasn't quite fallen out and he's still polling around the low-to-mid 40s for the most part.

It's also bad because, despite a strong economy, he can't seem to touch 50% approval and that typically doesn't bode well for reelection chances. Beyond that, if the economy turns south, he may find himself dropping below 40% consistently.
