Trump has a 42% approval rating in that poll.
If he is hanging around that number, then it doesn't matter what the generic ballot lead is.
This. The economy has never been a major factor in midterms... well, sometimes it has but the popularity of a president is more important.
Yeah, if the President starts cranking out 50%+ approval ratings then I will be concerned. But he is hanging around the high 30's to early-mid 40s then his party is going to be in trouble in November.
To add to my point. Trump had a 43% approval rating in the exit polls here in VA during the election in November.
The GOP was completely wiped out.
Exactly. Living and dying by every wiggle in the generic ballot is pointless, but we are who we are.
