Trump approval ratings thread 1.2

[Brittain33]

Given how the army is disproportionately white

Is it?

[Brittain33]

Fox News (vs. Sept.)

Approve: 38 (-4)
Disapprove: 57 (+4).

Strongly Disapprove is 49%.
"Some of the drop comes from white men without a college degree, as 56 percent approve of the president, down from 68 percent last month.  Working-class white men were a key voting bloc for him in the election (71 percent backed Trump according to the Fox News Exit Poll)."

Headline blames nature LOL.

Rasmussen polled VA GOV race and found Trump with a 45/54 JA.

http://m.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2017/virginia/election_2017_virginia_governor

That is completely implausible given all the national poll results and where Virginia voted in 2016.

[Brittain33]

WaPo/ABC (vs. Sept.)

Approve: 37% (-2) (strong: 25%)
Disapprove: 59% (+2) (strong: 50%)

He was at 36% approval in July, but this is a new high for disapproval. Needless to say, this is the worst result of any president in his first year in history.

[Brittain33]

I'm surprised he hasn't dropped more in these counties.  Am I worrying over nothing?

I had the same reaction. This feels like an insignificant slip since earlier this year. I expected more.

[Brittain33]

He was mostly away from Twitter while he was in Asia, no?

[Brittain33]

Gallup, 11/12

Approve 38 (-1)
Disapprove 56 (+1)

Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly flow the days,
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as they gaze...

Gallup 11/17

Among Millennials

Approve: 19%
Disapprove: 74%
DK/NA: 7%

The GOP is finished

Conference committee announces excise tax on avocado toast

[Brittain33]

WSJ/NBC (change from October)

Approve 41 (+3)
Disapprove 56 (-2)

Generic Congressional ballot: D 50, R 39 (was D+7 in Oct.)

Good approval number for him.

-15 is good?

Concern troll is concern trolling.

[Brittain33]

Y'all get so triggered when a poll destroys your democratic wave narrative.

"Snowflake" in 3, 2, 1...

[Brittain33]

You know, I kind of wish Krazen would take LimoLiberal under his wing and teach him the ins and outs of successful trolling for the long term. Whether you love Krazen or hate him, he's endured and proven himself successful at what he does. LimoLiberal's just hapless. He's too eager for attention and to be liked to really pull this off. But he keeps trying.

[Brittain33]

Don't worry limo. This thread is titled "Trump approval ratings" but it's actually "Daily dose of libs trying to feel better in Trump's America".

Doug Jones+1.5

44 point swing in Tennessee yesterday

RIP the GOP in 2018. They need to moderate and become more reasonable so they get educated swing voters like me back into their fold.

Bragging about Doug Jones winning is like bragging about catching fish with sticks of dynamite.

Yes, that's a great analogy for a Democrat winning a senate race in *Alabama*.

Tax reform SLUMP amirite?

[Brittain33]

TAX REFORM BUMP: GOP SUPERMAJORITY IMMINENT

Gallup at 36/58. Stellar numbers

Interesting. Good news for Trump. Tax reform bump

[Brittain33]

You know...

Gallup has lots of random fluctuations. Trump is still doing poorly.

But up to 39% is a sizable recovery for Trump. We'll need to see what happens in the next few days, but we need to consider the possibility that either the tax bill, or the goodwill of the holidays, or both causes Trump to come up a little from the deep pit he's been in with the devastating loss in Alabama. We will see.

[Brittain33]

Looks like the TAX REFORM BUMP has restored him to his November numbers.

Looks like the TAX REFORM BUMP has restored him to his November numbers.

Ehhh? You mean the Rasmussen and Gallup daily trackers? Because we've gotten very little polling the last week.

Sorry, I should have quoted. I was referring to the Gallup daily update. A few days ago I was monitoring because he'd gained 5 points in a few days and there was at least the possibility of a real change.

[Brittain33]

Gallup 12/30

Approve: 40% (+2)
Disapprove: 55% (-1)

Trump's highest approval in Gallup since 9/23.

[Brittain33]

Like, to the point where she has such weird issues with sex that she will publicly extol the size of her son's genitalia in Facebook posts? Just saying....

What? When did that happen?

[Brittain33]

Shock Poll From The Atlanta Journal Constitution/University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs:

Georgia:

36.7% Approve
58.7% Disapprove

Yeah, no.

[Brittain33]

Latest Rasmussen Survey:
Approval: 46%
Disapproval: 52%
These are the best numbers Trump has had in months,

Trump has periodically had 45-46% in Rasmussen while having much lower numbers in other polls.

[Brittain33]

PPP for Progressive Change Campaign

Approve: 42 (+1)
Disapprove: 53 (-3)

Surge continues

Good find, thanks for sharing!

[Brittain33]

That MN poll was awful.  Definitely not an accurate poll.  I think their methodology was off somehow.  They showed 70% approval for Trump in northern MN.  That should’ve been enough to make the Strib toss the poll in the garbage.

Yes, because every good poll for Trump is "inaccurate".

You raise a very accurate point LimoLiberal, in that I fear many other Democrats here have a tendency to ignore date that conflicts with their preconceived notions. This behavior devastated our Party in 2010, 2014, and 2016, when Democrats put their heads in the sand and pretended that the Republicans couldn’t win, and then Election Day came and they were all so shocked that they lost.

Oh Lordy
