One of the best indicators for re-election of sitting Presidents has always been the economy and the unemployment rate. This being said, the latest numbers could point to a major victory.
Since President Trump took office, he nearly cut the unemployment for major swing states by half from the Obama was era.
Unemployment in WI:
3.2% Sep 2019
3.9% Sep 2016 (Pre-Trump)
6.6% Sep 2012 (Pre Obama Reelection)
5.2% 2008 (Pre-Obama)
Michigan:
4.2% Sep 2019
5.1% Sep 2016
9.1% Sep 2012
8.4% Sep 2008
Pennsylvania
4.0% Sep 2019
5.4% Sep 2016
7.9% Sep 2012
5.6% Sep 2008

Obviously, this isn’t the only factor in determining re-election chances, but it, at the very least, challenges the Left-wing narrative that President Trump is “bad” for America.
