(CNN) The latest economic numbers -- 266,000 jobs created in November, unemployment at a 50-year low -- make one thing very clear: President Donald Trump has a path to win a second term next year. In a CNN poll released late last month, Trump's overall job approval was a less-than-stellar 42% while a majority -- 54% -- disapproved. (It was the only area in the poll where a majority of respondents approved of the job Trump is doing.) The simple fact is that a) the economy is strong and b) lots of people give Trump credit for that fact. In a series of tweets on Friday -- both before and after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its October jobs numbers -- Trump championed his economic successes.
