Yes it is. And it was on solid footing in November 2018 when, if memory serves me correct, every Trump supporter on this forum predicted the House would remain in Republican hands and possibly increase their majority. Their reasoning -- the economy was doing so well. Obviously the economy is not the only factor that voters are looking at when deciding for whom to vote.

Historically, good economies have led to POTUS re-elections, but the landscape can change on a dime.
