    First one term president in more than a quarter of a century. It's a complete and utter rebuke of him and his failed policies.

    They almost didn't, and could have quite easily messed up. There's less science and more art to these polling companies.

    Actually less art and more witchcraft.

    No president has won reelection with a first term average approval of less than 50%.

    No president has won reelection with an approval rating below 50%.

    No president has won reelection with a disapproval higher than approval.

    And yet, it's looking like Trump will end up with more total popular votes than Obama did in 2008 which technically means Trump is more popular than Obama.
