Democrats may be in for a big surprise this November with President Trump doing well in the polls just one month out from midterm elections.
On Monday, Rasmussen’s daily poll tracker put support for the president at a solid 48-percent, which is a full three-points higher than Barack Obama had during the same period of his first term.
The economy continues to be a top factor for voters heading into midterms, which are just five weeks out. A joint study conducted by Harvard University and the Harris Poll found 57-percent of voters approve of President Trump’s handling of the economy.
The results are especially important for Republicans, because more Democrats were included in the study’s pool of respondents.
While the booming economy under President Trump has long been a focal point of his administration, pollsters predict the new trade deal with Canada and Mexico will shoot these number even higher in the weeks to come.
The replacement NAFTA deal, called the USMCA, is being touted as a win for workers across the U.S.
“These measures will support many hundreds of thousands of American jobs,” stated the president. “This is also a historic win for American manufacturers and American autoworkers who have been treated so badly — we’ve lost so many jobs, over the years, under NAFTA.”
President Trump’s ability to secure an agreement with Canada may also help bring about a so-called red wave this November by highlighting his ability to get things done while in office.
In fact, the Pew Research Center found more than 80-percent of Republicans believe the president is a strong leader, who keeps his promises and stands up for what he believes.
This could be a sign Republicans are motivated to get out and vote in the midterms.
