2020 Senate and House outlook looks a lot like it did at the start of 2019

2020 Senate and House outlook looks a lot like it did at the start of 2019-rollcall: More than a year into the election cycle and with less than a year to go, how much has the political landscape changed? The answer: not a lot. And that’s not particularly good news for Republicans. Thus far, we know that a year’s worth of news (including impeachment) has not fundamentally altered the president’s standing. As 2019 ends, Donald Trump’s job rating stood at 44.5 percent approve and 52 percent disapprove, according to the RealClearPolitics national polling average. A year ago, the president’s standing was virtually the same.
