Democrats counting the days until the 2020 election might want to curb their enthusiasm, a new _Politico_/Morning Consult poll has found. In a hypothetical election, President Trump would
win his re-election if he ran against Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) by a margin of 42 percent to 36 percent. That margin is "fairly impressive … for a less-than-popular president
against the prominent senator," _Politico_ notes. _Politico_/Morning Consult has shown Trump with higher favorability than other polls for a number of reasons, with 49 percent of voters
approving of his presidency, while 45 percent disapprove in the most recent survey. But "it looks like Trump's [honeymoon period] is ending," said Morning Consult co-founder
and chief research officer Kyle Dropp. "The slate of bad news for the administration is catching up to him, although its important to note that his approval rating remains sky-high
among people who voted for him in November." That won't necessarily be enough. Even with Trump beating Warren in a hypothetical election, 43 percent of voters say they would vote
for a "nameless" Democrat in 2020. Just a third say they'll definitely vote for Trump. Approximately a quarter of voters think Trump is the worst president of the last 100
