"It's a 45-55 against the president at this stage of the game," Democratic pollster Peter Hart says. "As long as these economic numbers look like this, that always keeps an incumbent president in the race," according to GOP pollster Bill McInturff. President Trump has the approval of Republicans (88 percent), rural residents (60 percent), whites without college degrees (60 percent), men (54 percent), and whites overall (54 percent), according to the poll. Still, the election will come down to President Trump opponent, Democratic pollster Fred Yang says. The NBC/WSJ poll was conducted Feb. 24-27 among 900 adults with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.27 percentage points.
