Early Polling suggests 2020 will be bad for Trump

The 2016 election was a memorable one, with both party's candidates having extremely low popularity ratings. Specifically, the current president's situation, being the least liked nominee in presidential history. Still, his ratings are unfavorably growing among both the democratic and the republican party. The overarching question of whether his luck in the 2016 election will get him through the 2020 one again. In a hypothetical 2020 match up, the Washington Post put out a poll that showed that Trump was in fact losing to a Democratic nominee by a -6 net approval rating. Similarly, back in December a similar poll was put out that set Trump's approval rating at -14 among voters. Both of these negative approval rates directly correspond to his own popularity. Overall, Trump will have a hard time in the 2020 election if the Democrats elect an at least semi-favorable candidate. If not, Trump will most likely win again.
