Trump's popularity

Arkady

President
According to Gallup, Trump's approval rating stands at 36%. To give you a feel for just how bad that is, it's lower than either of the last two Democratic presidents ever got in their combined 16 years as president.

Trump still has a way to go to hit GW Bush's low, but it took Bush nearly eight years of consistent incompetence and corruption to plunge to that point, as well as one of the worst recessions in American history. Trump is massively unpopular despite the economy still having momentum. How will things look for him if the economy runs into trouble?

Of course, as always, there's what you say... and then there's....

President Donald Trump’s present job approval rating is right above former President Bill Clinton at the same time in his term, Newsweek reports.

The RealClearPolitics average had Trump at 39.8 percent on Tuesday. While some will say the numbers are not spectacular, Clinton’s job approval rating for day 138 was 37.8 percent.

However, Trump’s disapproval rating was also higher than Clinton’s, 57 percent compared to 49 percent.

The link you provided is dated. Trump's approval is down since then -- the Gallup number is now lower than the lowest ever notched by Clinton.

As for the Real Clear Politics figure, it's meaningless, since it's skewed by Rasmussen. Rasmussen doesn't measure a president's approval rating with the American people. They measure a completely different thing: a president's approval rating with people that Rasmussen considers likely to vote. There's some value in measuring that, of course, but averaging that in with normal approval ratings just creates statistical garbage.

You poor soul............

Liberals. Their "feelings". Polls. Trump. The actual truth.

Never works out well for the left. Yet you do love to stick with selected polls in your attempts to,...........well,..............sway the polls I suppose.

Bless your little hearts.

Sentences do better with verbs. Otherwise, they just sound like an imbecile having a verbal seizure.

Perhaps.

Of course perfectly structured sentences presenting the results of a poll somewhere that mirrors what the writer also feels in an attempt to somehow paint that feeling as a fact, even after so many polls that did just that turned out to be so very off in the past, those tend to sound like a willfully ignorant imbecile spewing verbal vomit, yet they both get the point across, huh?

I lost track of what you were trying to say in that run-on sentence.

Nah.

More like you chose to ignore what I said because you know the point is valid but wish to refrain from admitting it by playing the role of the PJ proper grammar police. I use lots of comma splices too before you feel compelled to point that out as well.

Its ok, I know you got the point just as I know you are normally one who elects to debate issues and points rather than hide behind grammar issues. I assume this isn't worth pursuing in your opinion and I can accept that.

We'll speak later I feel sure. Until then............

@Dino marks your post 'funny' and slinks away with his tail between his legs. I find that very funny. I guess he thought you wouldn't notice his outdated information.

Yeah, good "catch" on that one. A week off huh? I guess those percentage points below Clinton mean a lot to you?

SHE??
You didn't pay any attention to my post at all I see. No wonder you didn't see how Ark's response makes so little sense.

AH....You still talking about Bill Clinton? Damn!! That makes no sense. Why would anyone bring up his popularity rate? You were still posting dated info.

It really wasn't, but you weren't paying attention so how does it matter now?

As a reminder, before the election I described myself "as not terribly confident" about Clinton being able to win. My reasoning, at the time:

The polls still put this very close -- just 2.5 points in Clinton's favor, average. That's within the margin of error of polling averages, historically. In 2012, Obama had a polling average lead of 0.7 and won by 3.9, meaning we have recent history with polls being off 3.2 points..... And Trump does have the built-in Republican advantage in the electoral college (from smaller states having disproportionate voting power -- more Dems live in big states).
​
In retrospect, that holds up pretty well, doesn't it? The polls missed by less than 2.5 points, such that Clinton won the popular election by millions of votes, but the built-in Republican advantage in the Electoral College ended up mattering a lot, and those electors chose to ignore the will of the people and install Trump in the presidency. Turns out I was right not to be terribly confident.

Of course it is. You wouldn't expect that the phoney pollsters who had Hillary winning in a landslide would suddenly stop their psy-ops would you?
