Ok. Gues that means Elizabeth Warren will win it next time
I wouldn’t be so cavalier if I were you. Can you find an example of any president ever winning re-election with such poor approval?
And we’ve seen that sometimes candidates can be so terrible, and so unacceptable to the majority of voters, that essentially anyone could in fact beat them.

Trump has had a poor approval rating ever since he started running in June 2015
Do the math 940 people were surveyed. Seriously, clutching to such a poll, what did you draw from it?

Anyone? Don't you remember the primary? Trump wiped the floor with the others. And, surely you recall the election in November, the one that was said to win in the polls DID NOT. Actually, "essentially anyone could in fact beat them" applied to Hillary Clinton, and in that case, you would be right!
I wonder if Trump's approval ratings have anything to do with all of the Republicans deciding not to run for reelection? Why are their approval ratings so low? Are they tied to the president?

Ah yes, this is the latest excuse by the statistically illiterate Trumpets. "Only" such-and-such numbers of people were polled ... as if there was no such a thing as statistical sampling. No wonder the cons are so against education, a wee little bit of knowledge of statistics and sampling methods might tell them something they don't want to know.

Only time will tell what the future holds for Donald Trump, or any other politician, but polls at least give us a basis of comparison, because the results can be compared with previous polls using the same methodology.
If the 900 plus participants in the AJC Georgia poll aren’t enough for your taste, the data in the attached article was drawn from 605,127 interviews in national polling conducted by SurveyMonkey in 2017.
Overall, they found that 42% approved of Trump while 56% disapproved.
In the 2016 election, Trump was supported by 66% of non-college whites; in 2017 that support slipped 10 points to 56%.
In the 2016 election, Trump was supported by 48% of whites with at least a four year college degree; in 2017 he was supported by 40%.
In 2016 Trump narrowly won young white voters; in 2017 he had disapproval ratings of 62% to 76% among young white women without a degree and young white women and men with a college degree. White millennial men are now evenly split 49%-49%.
In 2016, Trump received 61% of the vote of white women without a college degree; in 2017 support fell to a 49%-49% split. His highest level of support among women in any age group tops out at 54%.

College-educated whites, especially men, are the group many Republicans are most optimistic will return to the party if the economy and stock market continue to improve. But one GOP pollster, who asked not to be identified while discussing the party’s prospects, was dubious that Republicans could reverse these declines while Trump is still in a position to define them. “It’s not like voters are saying, ‘We are willing to overlook how … out of control he is because the economy is doing well,’” the pollster said.

Many things could change between now and November’s election—much less 2020. But these detailed soundings show how the gales of resistance Trump has fueled are reshaping the electoral landscape. Whether by age, gender, race, or education, Trump is deepening almost every social and political division that existed before him—with unpredictable consequences for the parties and for the country itself.
I know Georgia is going to vote Democrat because the anti-Trumpers on this forum told me so..... /end sarcasm
