A job approval rating Trump can win with
According to Rasmussen, President Trump’s job approval rating stands at 51 percent. That’s about where it’s been since late August, and it’s a rating that, one expects, would carry an incumbent president to re-election, especially against a relatively weak opponent like Joe Biden. It’s similar to Barack Obama’s approval rating just before he won in 2016.
But what about other surveys? Fox News, in a survey that’s several days older than Rasmussen’s, finds that 48 approve of Trump’s performance, while 51 percent disapprove. The Hill, in a survey taken at around the same time as Fox’s, found that 47 approve and 53 percent disapprove.
These numbers are only slightly worse than George W. Bush’s in October 2004. Bush was reelected and won the popular vote.

Polls are polls and have proven pretty much worthless last several election cycles.

It's pretty darn good @kevindavis According to Gallup Obama's approval for Sep 17-23, 2012 was 49%.
Trump's approval for Sep 13-15, 2020 is 52%
