President Donald J. Trump, fresh off an overwhelming victory in the Iowa Republican caucus, continues to demonstrate the inevitability of his reelection in 2020 and beyond.
Trump has a job approval rating of 49 percent, according to the most recent Gallup survey.

His approval rating among Democrats, meanwhile, is just 7 percent. That 87-point gap between partisan approval ratings is the highest Gallup has ever recorded, breaking the previous record of 86 points set by former president Obama. – READ MORE
