Trump's approval rating is surging, according to the latest Gallup poll. He's now at his highest point ever.

Seriously? Based on one poll?

He is up 3 points in the latest WaPo poll. Despite claims his bounce faded, it really hasn't entirely. He is consistently trending up in a long term perspective.

No.  You're just wrong.  Go look at this chart: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/

That shows him at -9.5, whereas just before his bounce he was at -10.9. Yes it goes up and down, but his peaks keep getting higher and his valleys not as low.

Trump's approval rating in Gallup (49%) is now higher than Obama's (47%) at this point in his presidency.

His average in RCP is now the highest since April 6 and higher than at any time in 2017-2019.

Wake me up when the Gallup poll comes out. Three of their last four polls had Trump at a record high approval of around 49%. And even if these other polls are right, he would only be reverting to a 2019 mean. If this week is a trough for him, it'll still be higher than the Ukraine scandal trough as recently as October 2019.

Wake up

Wake up, sheeple!

So Trump has dropped down to the lowest he's been since 2019, ok. If he stays there, that's bad for him. But if that represents a local minimum, then it's still consistent with the higher lows and higher highs we've seen since the start of his career in 2015.

Approval is only meaningful since he took office in 2017.

No, before then he had an RCP favorability rating and a horse race average. The latter reached local minima in July 2015 (his announcement), April 2016, June 2016, August 2016, and October 2016. Three out of five of his local maxima and four out of five of his local minima during this period were higher than the last, showing a general uptrend. His favorability rating also showed a steep uptrend before his win, compared to a shallow used trend since then.

The approval rating numbers are looking bad for Trump. He has fallen under a key support on RCP - his local minimum during the Ukraine impeachment scandal in October 2019. This is the first local minimum in the last 5 that has been lower than the one before it. Further, his disapproval rating is at its highest since January 2018.

Trump's approval rating is skyrocketing. He's now more popular than he was before the pandemic. The virus has been a political gift to him.

[Beet]

Trump's approval rating is now higher than at any point in his presidency except immediately post-inauguration and during his pandemic bump. With just a month to go until his re-election, it continues to barrel higher with no sign of slowing.

46% approval for Trump in Gallup's last poll.

One of the highest ratings he's received.

And more surveyed Americans say they approve of the way the U.S. is headed.

Based on the crosstabs, it seems this is because Republicans and Republican-leaning independents have realized the "correct" answer is to say we are headed in the right direction, and that they approve. Democrats did the same thing for Obama in 2012.
