Things are looking better for President Donald Trump than they were when the year began.
The latest evidence is that 54% of voters nationwide now believe it is at least somewhat likely the president will be re-elected in 2020. That’s up from 50% a month ago and 46% in early February.
Obviously, there’s a long way to go until Election Day. And we won’t really have a good handle on the race until we know the state of the economy next year and whom the Democrats nominate to challenge Trump.
Still, it’s worth considering why things are looking better for the president.
It’s not because people are revising their opinion of him: His job approval rating has remained steady in the mid-40s.
But it’s interesting to note that expectations for President Trump have improved alongside a growing perception that Congress is moving to the left politically.
Forty-four percent now believe Congress is too liberal, while 36% say it’s too conservative. That’s a complete reversal from before the 2018 elections.
That may help explain why both former President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have expressed concerns about their party drifting too far to the left ideologically. Their party’s loudest voices might best be described as 20-percenters because they advocate proposals supported by about 20% of the population (or less).
For example, Sen. Bernie Sanders is promoting a health care plan sometimes called “Medicare for All.” Rhetorically, it taps into a deeply held belief that every American should have access to quality health care.
