For example, if he lost all the States where he is polling negatively today, he would get clobbered. He lost the popular vote by six million votes in 2016 and only won by squeaking out extremely narrow margins of victory in the by now famous rust-belt states of PA, WI, and MI. He is not even polling well in traditionally red states like Texas. However, as you said, what happens over the next 1.5 years will matter too. I hope we are all here to see what happens.

I’ve paid into it since the 70’s, and have maxed it out almost every year since. I’m willing to make some sacrifices with conditions to help future generations of Americans.

It also doesn't necessarily bode well for his future chances, either. I just checked Trump's favorite poll, the Rasmussen poll and his approval rating continues to suck, big time. Speaking of the ass, his latest policy by tweet just caused the Dow futures to dump 400 points. Nice move, Mr "president"...
