For Americans who don’t like President Donald Trump and fear a Republican Congress will never remove him from office, there’s reason for hope. Trump probably won’t manage to win a second term.

At least according to the latest Gallup polling data. The bad news for the president's critics: By winning the election last November, Trump already proved he can make pollsters look foolish.

Still, Gallup’s results look really bad for the president. During the first six months of his first term -- a period when presidents historically score their best marks from voters -- Trump’s approval rating is at or tops 50 percent in only 17 states. If in 2020 he wins only these states, the president will earn a mere 99 electoral votes.

The Washington Post points out that even if you include states where his approval rating reaches 45 percent, Trump still would only score 154 electoral votes. A candidate needs 270 to win the presidency.
