CNN poll: Highest number since 2007 says things are going well in the U.S.

The share that says so is 57 percent in all. To give you a sense of how rare that air is, you need to go all the way back to late July 2005 to find a higher number (58 percent) in a CNN poll. Since then America has endured Hurricane Katrina, the deterioration of Iraq, and the financial crisis and loooong recovery. That’s a lot of rain to have sit through while waiting for some sun.
Which raises a question. If this number were to stick at this level, could Trump possibly lose in 2020? His job approval is poor and job approval is typically the gold standard of gauging a president’s reelection odds, but normal political rules of gravity don’t seem to apply in the Trump era. Remember, his favorability rating in 2016 was the most pitiful of any presidential candidate in modern American history. He won anyway.
