This chart shows Trumpâs net approval rating (approve % minus disapprove %), per the chart above, alongside his approval rating for handling specific issues:
This is what Trumpâs net approval rating would be in every state if you shifted the results of the 2024 election toward/away from the president based on the change from his 2024 national popular vote margin to his current net approval rating.
Hereâs Trump compared to recent presidents in their first term:
This is what the chart above looks like if you compare Trump to other presidents in their second terms:

A daily updating average of politically salient economic indicators
.
This chart shows economic growth according to a model of 16 different economic variables, ranging from unemployment and manufacturing output to trade exports and government spending. The variables have been selected based on their individual correlation to historical election outcomes, as well as their effect on the ability of the resulting index to predict change in political support. The methodology and code for this model is publicly available
here
. On this chart, 0 represents average growth, and the scale captures the standard deviation above/below average. A value of 1 in either direction roughly translates into an annual GDP change of +/- 8 percent.
Note: The estimates in this chart will update daily, but you will see the most recent data point presented as an estimate for the whole week.
This estimate is generated using a model similar to the now-casts from the
New York
and
Atlanta
Fed banks, with the added wrinkle that we are not asking âWhat is GDP growth today, according to all the latest data I have?â itâs âWhat is GDP growth today
if
we reconstructed GDP using the variables that best predict presidential outcomes?â I also use fewer high-frequency variables and all indicators are scaled to measure annual change, rather than month-on-month or quarterly change.
In other words, this index is optimized to predict both annual GDP growth, so it is interpretable by economists and journalists, and election outcomes, so we can write about political implications knowing the thing we are looking at has historically had an impact on politics. You can see how well this index predicts these outcomes
