The 2020 election is still a long way off, but every now and then it’s fun to check in on some analysis about what might happen if the race were being held today. If that were the case, for Dems, it likely wouldn’t be good:
Moody’s Analytics has run 12 different models combining economic and political data. @realDonaldTrump win re-election in all of them. Mostly by a lot. Me and @POLITICO_Steve https://t.co/9Ni8sSlefM

If the outlook stays that way, the Dems will have to escalate efforts to talk down the economy and get rid of the Electoral College:
If the economy holds up for another ~20 months, Trump is going to be very difficult to beat.
That's a big 'if,' but people are seriously underestimating his odds to win again. https://t.co/5liro9vL0l

Moody’s predicts a 2020 Trump landslide (if the election were held today). Outstanding economy driving a lot of it. Will be hard for the Left to sell “America is a disaster” when the economy is booming. https://t.co/9CUUfcTeCW

Something tells me this will be in a lot of desperate fundraising appeals later today.
“Friends, I don’t know if you saw the latest polling, but unless you join me Donald Trump will be re elected. Whatever you can contribute is badly needed to stop…” https://t.co/iGQzuzUihK
