The rust belt and swing voters prior to his running did not know what NYC always knew. Most who support him only knew he was a rich guy who didn't talk like a rich guy, and love him because he wasn't "politically correct". But now that he isn't simply a reality TV star selling "get rich utopias", they are seeing that he isn't the shiny object they thought he was.
Actually, he is slightly ahead of where Obama was at this point eight years ago.
He lost the popular vote by about 3 000 000 and stell managed to get elected. I don't expect there's going to be enough movement on this particular scandal to suppose 2020 will be much different.
Based on his known, admitted corruption, I think that - at this point - Trump could beat a box of kittens to death on the South Lawn of the White House in full view of the press and still get re-elected.

I disagree. Like I said, he is a greased pig for sure. But with his constant lies and repeated vile behavior, he is losing support in swing suburbs, and he is hurting farmers and factory workers in the swing states he won last time.
His base certainly will not leave him, but I don't think it is going to be as easy this time for him.
I will say though it has been deeply disturbing to me since he started his run that he has gotten away with everything he has done so far that would have sunk any other president.
I'd also say that Dems should not take anything for granted in any case.
