Trump approval ratings thread 1.3

Hahahahahaha

It really doesn't matter about the approvals, Trump has an obstruction of justice impeachment case against him, going to the polls in Nov, and voters want justice to be served and they know in order to get that Nancy Pelosi and Schumer must be in leadership. That's why MS, TN and TX are close in the Senate right now.

You must be high, if you believe that Trump will be removed from office, because the best Democrats can realistically do this year is win a narrow House Majority (225-210 at most), and a narrow 51-49 Senate Majority (flipping Nevada and Arizona, while holding all their seats). This means for Trump to be removed from office, a whopping 16 Republican senators would have to vote to remove him (Assuming a Democratic House impeaches him and all 51 Democratic Senators vote to remove him). Honestly, can you name 16 Republican Senators that would vote to remove Donald Trump (if they would vote to remove him they would at the least face tough primary challenges, and at the worst face Death threats and assasination attempts from deranged White Nationalists and Christian Fundamentalists)?

Well thank god come January 2019 the dems will actually be holding a 251-184 hold on the house and a 53-47 senate

I think Democrats/Liberals are in a bubble about Trump. It seems like that he's getting more unpopular every day with more scandals and more chips falling.

In reality, he's reached his highest point since very early 2017 in two recent polls (Gallup and Quinnipiac).

No, that does not mean he's popular. No, that does not mean the blue wave is over. No, that does not mean he will be president for life.

But he is reaching his best point in many many months currently. Even in the face of seemingly endless scandals. And I see very few democratic partisans acknowledging that and entertaining why.

It seems he's at 40% give or take a few in either direction. I do have a theory though it seems Trump's approval takes its hit into the 30's whenever there is an election. For example his lowest point was in December after Doug Jones won in Alabama and recently you notice his approval went down during Lamb's run. I think we are seeing his numbers go up because without an election left leaning independents are disengaged

It's because of rasmussen, but trump's rcp average is at 42.8.

Highest since april of 2017

This should send shivers down the spine of Democrats, if Trumps approval is this high in November (he's 50% in Rassmusen), then Republicans will definitely hold the House and lose several Senate seats. Meanwhile, Democrats will be screaming about the "Russia conspiracy", the "Stormy Daniels scandal", #metoo, and transgenderism.

And when the opposite happens you'll just move onto "he is going to win reelection like Clinton and Obana" until Virginia finally has enough and kicks you out

Oh cr*p did I jinix him?

Trump is no longer the least popular president at this point in his presidency, as per the 538 polling aggregate:

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/?ex_cid=rrpromo

Trump: 40.2% job approval
Carter: 40.0% job approval at this point in his presidency

Really good company to be in

Trump 39/56 in Nevada https://mobile.twitter.com/meganmesserly/status/988966489599361024

This thread is peak Atlas seriously.

[Hindsight was 2020]

The silence is deafening now that narratives have been wrecked.

Trump is more unpopular than his predecessors at this point but "narratives have been wrecked?" GTFO you are just as bad as King Lear was with cherry picking data while accusing everyone else of spinning

[Hindsight was 2020]

Honestly crunching the numbers from these polls it seems he's getting a very small bump from Korea but has hurt himself (likely in the midwest) with the tariff fight

[Hindsight was 2020]

This is '02 all over again.

Guess what? It isn't.

Moderately good economy, popular incumbent with his base, foreign policy earthquakes (Korea), divided opposition with no clue how to primary correctly (Kara Eastman fans, I'm looking at you), and voilà. Muh Russia has run its course. 

Trump isn't popular are you high? Also how dare you compare North Korea to 9/11

He is with his base, and they are motivated in ways polls can’t even measure. Didn’t Nate Silver have Hillary at 99% to win? Didn’t they have to uncall states 2016 election night due to the surge ofvotes in the rural areas?

Also, if someone asked me 15 years ago if Korea would ever be in talks, I’d’ve told them it was up there with pigs taking flight. This is the Berlin Wall of our generation.

Obama had a bigger base and they didn't turn out for him in the midterms and same with Reagan. Also Berlin Wall?! NK does this all the time and now declared that they aren't giving up their nukes so the summit is pointless

[Hindsight was 2020]

Even at my best trolling I could never reel in as many people as hofoid. How does he do it

I don't think you ever say something as blantently false as he does like saying Trump's approval  is on par  with Bush's after 9/11

NBC/WSJ

Approve: 44%(+4)
Disapprove: 53%(-3)

This is about where he was in March. +10 for Democrats on the generic ballot.

Edit: Quinnipiac also shows numbers around March levels.

Weird how the this is one of his best polls and he’s getting high marks for the economy but the CGB has the Dems best numbers and by massive margins voters want a check on him

[Hindsight was 2020]

What a weird jump for Gallup

[Hindsight was 2020]

Maybe you guys need to step back a bit and realize

a) the economy plays a large role in the approval/disapproval of the president. The economy has been performing well lately, and Americans (who early on in trump's term were still giving credit to Obama) are increasingly giving him the credit now. He now has a tax law he can brag about, whether or not it is true.

b) Americans saying the nation is moving in right direction is at highest % since 2005, according to gallup.

c) The north korea summit was viewed as a success by even 49% of dems, according to monmouth, and 40% of dems according to Morning consult.

The country really isn't on fire at all when you step out of your bubble. Does trump deserve criticism for some/lots of stuff. Yes, he does.

But it is incredible to me that you guys expect his approvals to be in 20s or low 30s at this point.

Sorry we aren’t selfish sociopaths who think just because the economy is good he should get high marks when he goes on tv and says he wants us to obey him like a dictator or purge the FBI to save himself from Mueller

CNN (Changes are compared to May2-5):

39% Approve (-2)
54% Disapprove (+1)

It's weird cause Gallup looks like the outlier when normally they are harder on Trump then others. Must be just a bounce from NK summit

[Hindsight was 2020]

Under budget and ahead of schedule

https://www.twitter.com/gelles/status/1008809181577654272

45% according to Gallup so CNN can do you know what

Yougov has something similar to CNN so can you say outlier?

[Hindsight was 2020]

I love how people here will ceaselessly rip each other into shreds like a pack of rabid hyenas based on whether Trump's approval rating is 41% or 43%, lol.

[Hindsight was 2020]

It really is amazing how stable Trump’s polling is

[Hindsight was 2020]

Virginia is on fire

[Hindsight was 2020]

Whoops sorry about that Torie

[Hindsight was 2020]

Does NBC ever change? His approval is almost always the same regardless

[Hindsight was 2020]

BTW can take time to realize that Trump going up a single point in one poll is making Limo go concern troll and MSNBC to jump out the window? The man’s bar is that low

Gallup:

Approve - 42%(-1)
Disapprove - 54%(+2)

Between this and NBC it’s clear opinions of Trump are just baked in
