With the 2018 midterm polls long behind us, pollsters are starting to look at the 2020 presidential election. And according to a new poll from Fox News, good news awaits Democrats dissatisfied with Donald Trump's presidency.

Only 38 percent of Americans claim they would vote for Trump for a second term — while 55 percent say they plan to vote for his unknown rival. And even that is an improvement for the president. In April of 2017, 36 percent of Americans stated they would vote to re-elect Trump, while 56 percent already planned to oppose him.

Fox News also polled Americans on which potential Democratic candidate they found "excellent" or "good" for 2020. The poll found that 70 percent of Democrats rated former Vice President Joe Biden that way, while 63 percent of respondents said the same of former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Then Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, at 38 percent, Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas, with 36 percent, Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey (34 percent) and California Sen. Kamala Harris, at a surprisingly low 33 percent, round out the frontrunners list.

5. Jeeze, tho. 38% is pretty embarrassing to the country

No matter how dyed in the wool of a Democrat I am, I could not tolerate a Democratic president who betrayed our alliances, sabotaged our trade treaties, lied like a 7 year old who knocked over the cookie jar, and bragged about groping & gaping at women.

I haven't even addressed the fascism or con artist bits. This horror show is about 15% Trump and 85% the fault of his wilfully dumbfuck enablers in the Republican party.

6. I cant see this getting better

The economy is as strong as it will get, and likely will go backwards or begin to stagnate between now and 2020. The Mueller and SDNY investigations will begin to wrap up with likely more incriminating info coming out and the House going to the Dems will mean Trump wont have a Congress that just rolls over for him, he'll actually have to try and lead & govern which he doesnt really do. I wont be shocked if late in 2019 some Republican dips their toe into the primary waters. Its a long way off, but no way he gets re-elected if the election were today.

7. Uncle Vlad isn't going to like this at all

"Что? 38%? Чёрт возми! Anything less than 35% and I might not be able to manipulate next winner! Is vorst disaster since moose and squirrel!"

8. This is the number of people who ADMIT to voting for him, not the real number.

A lot of people are embarrassed to say they would vote for him but would none the less. Racists don't like being outed.

9. I'm afraid you're right.
