Trump's popularity is at 40% in Gallup's latest poll.

Every pundit agrees that with an economy like this a normal President would be at least 57% and maybe above 60%.

The deficit is at $1Trilluion a year, gas prices are $3.00 a gallon and rising, wages are stagnant, the GDP is nowhere near the 3 1/2% promised, and the new jobs being created are at the bottom of the economic ladder.

and that's not counting the indictments that are coming.
