The 50% Stock Market Rise Since Trump's Election is Double The Average Increase of Prior Presidents

Kurt?

Meanwhile, Trump is at just about 50% approval as we enter the 2020 election year.

President Trump’s approval rating has neared 50 percent heading into the 2020 election year, according to a Hill-HarrisX poll released on Monday.

Forty-nine percent of Americans surveyed said they approve of the president’s job performance, up from 46 percent from the previous Dec. 8-9 poll. Fifty-one percent said they disapprove, a drop from 54 percent earlier this month.

Trump’s approval rating continues to be buoyed by his Republican base, where his support remains strong.

The latest survey shows that almost 9 in 10 GOP respondents -- 87 percent -- support Trump, compared to 22 percent of Democrats and 42 percent of independents.

I'm treating the next few days, and most of next week, as half-days, so most of my posts are just going to be quick links.

It's a slow news period anyway.
