Gallup has President Trump down 36-57. If the difference between 36 and 43 reflects partisanship that allows grudging acceptance of him in the 2020 Presidential election, then barring some improvement for reasons other than "It's gotta get better 'cause it can't get worse", he is setting the GOP up for landslide losses in 2020 at the latest and even surprising losses in 2018.
Even Rasmussen, usually sympathetic to Republicans, gets this result:
Rasmussen
Total (-9):
45 (+1)
54 (-2)
Strongly (-16):
28 (-1)
44 (-2)
...this is without a disaster in foreign policy, a military debacle, an economic tailspin, galloping inflation, or violent unrest.
