Just one-third of Americans say they would vote for Donald Trump in 2020 election
Only one-third of Americans would vote for President Donald Trump if he runs for reelection in 2020, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Wednesday.
A scant 18 percent of people surveyed said they would "definitely" support Trump if he runs in 2020. Another 18 percent said they would "probably" vote for him, while 38 percent said they would vote for someone else.
While 2020 is still a small dot on the political horizon, and it's unclear who will emerge as the democratic nominee or if Trump will face a primary challenge, a full 38 percent of respondents says they will be voting for someone other than Trump.
Nearly one year into his first year in office, Trump's approval ratings are at historic lows. No previous president since Dwight Eisenhower has had approval ratings lower than 49 percent in December of their first year in office.
Trump has a 35 percent approval rating, per a CNN poll released on Tuesday.
The NBC/WSJ poll also found that one-third of Americans say that the country is better off than it was when Trump assumed office, while 45 percent believe it is in worse shape than a year ago.
