While it is a fact that the rival Party, which is the Democratic Party, in this case, have historically done better in the U.S. mid-term election, it is also a fact that President’s performance and his approval ratings weigh.
We at FxWirePro accurately predicted a victory by Donald Trump in the 2016 election, though a few seat shorts of our predicted outcome. And from our experience in 2016, we know for a fact that you can’t blindly trust the polls in America anymore, partly due to bias and partly due to a more polarized society. Nevertheless, we wanted to check the President’s job approval rating to see if the polls do predict an advantage for the Democrats. And we have chosen the numbers from Rasmussen Polls (FxWirePro have no polling of its own), as it was one of the closest in its prediction of 2016 election.
The first chart shows that after bottoming in July 2017, President Trump’s approval rating has been rising steadily, though it is still in the negative.
The second chart might upset or astonish Trump haters everywhere, which is based on same Rasmussen polls and shows the approval rating for President Obama for the equivalent period. Like it or not, President Obama had a much lower rating than President Trump at this time of his Presidency.
