It's a tough call. From the day he was elected my thought has always been that he would resign before he finished his term. I still think that's the case despite everything he's done to stay in power. Reason being is that, I believe, we've only seen the tip of iceberg in to what he's done. As the walls are closing in (and things like this separate server the WH has to hide his activities come more in to focus), alongside the worst Presidential polling in modern history, I see him walking away. He'll blame EVERYONE but himself so he can continue to sell his same brand of lies and enemies to the worst common denominator, and float away.
Of course, the second he leaves office he's going to be a private citizen who is NOT above the law. The SDNY has their eyes squarely on him so he might think four more years is four more years of protection.
Either way, he'll go down in flames.

@Ynotisay I hate to say it, but apparently his job approval rating is higher now than Obama’s was at this point in his presidency. And it doesn’t matter what you show them, his supporters will stay behind him as long as he’s still anti-women’s choice, anti-illegal immigrants, and anti-lgbt rights. He’s headed for re-election.

@JP1119 Maybe with Rasmussen. Every President loses support over their term(s). But the highest percentage of support Trump has ever earned is about 46%. The lowest after that is Nixon at about 66%. According to Gallup, which has been doing it the longest, he has the lowest overall approval rating going back to FDR. 5% less than Truman and Carter.
But you're right on the nut about his supporters. Doesn't matter what you show them. But I'm not sure if it's as much about their support for him as it is their hatred of "the other."
And I really can't imagine him being reelected. I'm not a big poll person but every legit Democratic contender is beating him by a large margin. He's also being impeached so, for me, I think it's a little premature to even consider a 2020 election. Look what's happened in the last four days. We've got over a year to go. And I highly, highly doubt this will be the last bombshell coming down.
