Thanks for the information but it is evident that Trump's support is beginning to ooze out, especially since he has done nothing since the Tax cut and deregulation that occurred last year. Just look at the stock market that went up because of his election but has now given back almost 50% of what was gained. Traders are no longer as bullish on the market as they were before
Trump's problem is he has never tried to expand his base of support. He has played right to them and to no one else. Outside of his base, Trump isn't liked much. Trump's highest approval mark came on 4 Feb 2017, 46% and he hasn't come close since.

Trump pretty much chugs along at around 42% approval and that is probably where he will remain during the rest of his presidency. You won't win many elections with just 42% of the vote. You won't win many elections with over half of all America disliking you either. Unless something changes, I doubt Trump will. Unless something changes I expect 2020 to be another repeat of 2018. The only thing I can foresee that could stop a Democratic take over of the senate, the presidency and perhaps another 20 house seat gain is if the democrats nominate someone once again as disliked by America as a whole or maybe even more than Trump is.
Even so, I don't see Trump winning. Trump is the known commodity in 2020 as Hillary Clinton was the known commodity in 2016. It's Trump with all the baggage in 2020 as Hillary had in 2016. Thinking of it, unless some major unforeseen event happens between now and then, I don't see how the Democrats can lose in 2020.
