Summary
Donald Trump's Approval Just Broke A Record High, Why Do Polls Say He Will Lose 2020? In the latest Washington Post ABC news poll Trump's approval rating breaks 47, the highest they have recorded. Among the RCP Average Trump's approval and favorability have broken a two year high.
The last time Trump was viewed so favorably was just after he was elected.
Yet even with a booming economy under Trump, praise for avoiding international incidents, and record low unemployment, polls still show Trump losing to Biden and even some far left Democrats.
The polls are wrong now and they were wrong in 2016. It will be near impossible to know or predict who will win, the populist right and Trump, the moderate Democrats like Joe Biden, or will it be the far left social justice candidates like Bernie Sanders or Gillibrand?
Polls be darned I say, lets look to Wall Street and Vegas. Both say Trump is on track for a 2020 victory while many economic forecasts say Trump will not only win but will Landslide.

| 0:00.0 | According to a new poll from the Washington Post and ABC News, Donald Trump's approval rating has |
| 0:06.2 | never been higher. It's broken a record high. Whenever I do these stories, I try to look at the |
| 0:11.6 | aggregate to see what other polls are saying because there's accusations of bias and I think |
| 0:16.4 | putting all the polls together is a good way to actually sus that where Trump is actually at. |
| 0:20.4 | Now it's difficult because in the aggregate, not all polls are from the same time. |
| 0:24.8 | But there's been a lot of stories about the booming economy, about the incumbent |
| 0:28.8 | advantage and now Trump's approval rating as well as his favorability being up. It sounds like |
| 0:34.8 | Trump is on track for a 2020 victory, yet for some reason, even with this news, we see this |
| 0:40.8 | from Jake Tapper. Biden would get 53% to Trump's 43%. Harris would get 48% to his 46%. Warren would |
| 0:49.3 | tie. Sanders would win. Buttigieg would tie. The point is, even with all of this incredible news with |
| 0:55.3 | the economy, Trump's approval rating, they're actually saying it's going to be a toss up and that |
| 1:00.3 | Biden would beat Trump. The reason I don't really buy into that is because before Trump got elected, |
| 1:07.0 | people weren't too sure about what his job, his performance is going to be. He still beat Hillary |
| 1:11.6 | Clinton. Why would Joe Biden beat Donald Trump when the economy is booming, when unemployment is |
| 1:17.0 | at record lows, when paycheck growth is on a massive upward trend, more jobs, more jobs, |
| 1:22.1 | the economy is great. With the incumbent advantage, as well as Trump's favorability is approval |
| 1:27.4 | rating, you'd think he'd be on track to win. For some reason, the polls are saying maybe not. |
| 1:33.0 | So you know what I can say. The polls were wrong, wrong, wrong, the whole system is screwed up. We |
| 1:39.6 | have no idea what's going to happen. So to try and better understand what's happening, I got a |
| 1:44.0 | bunch of stories. But let's figure out what's going on with Trump's approval rating, why it's, |
| 1:48.5 | why it may be high, I think we know. But we'll look at some other polls too to see exactly what's |
| 1:52.5 | going on before we get started. Head over to Timcast.com slash donate. If you'd like to support my work, |
