Bit too early to tell, we need to see what the Democrats pull out of the hat.
But it's never too early to say that his chances
are better with a good economy than a bad one.
This prediction isn't really a prediction at all.

The state of U.S. economy is often used to predict the re-election prospects for Presidents. Does the current state of the economy indicate President Trump will be re-elected?

Consider the following analysis article,
How Trump is on track for a 2020 landslide
I would say it improves his chances, but it is too early to predict more than that with much certainty. Politics is like riding ocean waves. Sometimes your on the crest and sometimes your in the trough. It probably means more if you can hit November on a crest.

People might look at economy and say the global trend makes it easier for current governments to get re-elected. I think a lot of governments around the world are happy about this kind of luck.

When James Carville said "It's the economy, stupid." The economy WAS the key factor in the election which Jimmy Carter lost. Carville is a very bright guy so I don't think he meant "It's always the economy"since the evidence doesn't support that conclusion.

The average family is not a group of political activists, driven by irrational sentiments and visions of paranoia or utopia. They are regular practical minded people, concerned about the present and future of their immediate family. A strong economy caters to the needs of such people. Their need for a way to achieve family security, will benefit by voting for Trump.

The left is proposing things that sound good and/or appease fear, but will destroy the economy, for everyone except those in power. Try an experiment where you don't use any fossil fuels; gasoline for your transportation or buy anything that uses gasoline for market transport. Also stop using things that indirectly use fossil fuels; electricity as well as stores and factories, to simulate the vision of the green deal. This alone will lead to a collapse of the economy and all types of hardship. No family wants a future of food lines, while those on power get to live anyway they want.

For example, watch any of the Democrat leaders, who are promoting the green deal, as they fly around the country in private and chartered jets, living large. This sets the example of someone who has all the time in the world. The changes they propose is for everyone, except them. Government workers are not on ObamaCare, nor will they be on the green deal. They do not want the crap deal they want to give to the extensive peasant class they hope to create.

Most practical minded people see this. The only chance the Democrats have is to lie, cheat and crap on Trump's parade. This is why they spend the country's time creating intrigue, looking for mud, and suggesting all types of changes to the Constitution; voting laws, such as allowing pets to vote.

Trump has achieved tangible results; economy, that goes beyond the startup rhetoric and promises. Reality, to the practical minded family, will mean more than promises, that do not have to be kept by the shady political class.

I would place his chances above 50% for that very reason, which is pretty good as far as elections go. Also, no new wars is always a plus.

Voted no as the voter base must be convinced Trump gets credit. More so the voters have other policies they support/oppose. For example hardliner NHS voters are not going to flip to Trump as NHS isn't part of his policy nor platform.

There's plenty of time for Donald to mess up things.
So I put his odds of winning re-election at 50% +/- 40%

Much like the last go around, it is the Democrat's election to lose. There is plenty to use against the Donald and he doesn't poll terribly favorable among moderates. They have to be better this year if they hope to be successful in 2020.
