All these polls are rigged! And they’re rigged big league.

Actually it’s no wonder. He doesn’t get several posts filled but has time to respond to criticisms with thin-skinned insults on Twitter. Sad!

At Rasmussen, Trump starts with the following approval rating:

56% approve
44% disapprove

Eighty-five percent (85%) of Republicans and 55% of unaffiliated voters approve of the job Trump is doing. Seventy percent (70%) of Democrats disapprove.

The latest figures include 38% of all likely voters who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 36% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of +2 (see trends).

Regular updates are posted Monday through Friday at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update).

When Barack Obama was sworn in as president on January 20, 2009, 67% of likely voters approved of his job performance; 31% disapproved.

Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Results are also compiled on a full-week basis and crosstabs for full-week results are available for Platinum Members.

The Fox poll is definitely a Friday news dump, how many of their viewers are ever going to see this poll with all the inauguration coverage.

Today is a good day after all. 2020 is by no means a sure thing, but it can be done.

Donald Trump has a 56% approval.

Rasmussen is a C rated pollster

Nate Bronze is not a trustworthy source.

And in addition, they had the supposedly most accurate poll of 2016 and whilst one swallow does not make a summer, it seriously can't be that wrong.

And, for all you now it might be 3% off in the other direction, and he may nearly have 60%.

The salt is strong with this one

Face it, nobody likes your candidate

He has 56% approval, higher than when Reagan entered office, and the same as Clinton and George W. Bush had when they entered office.

So yes, most Americans like Trump, get over it.

People are lying to the pollsters as Trump said, Rasmussen is clearly rigging its polls

You can't cheer on Obama having 60% in a Rasmussen poll, and then call it fake the following week.

If you consider it rigged, then fine I'll give you that. Trump's popularity is probably much higher.

The man lost the popular vote by 3 million 40% is more likely than 56% also unlike Trump multiple polls say the same about Obama's popularity while Rasmussen stick outs like a sore thumb with Trump

[Meclazine for Israel]

Face it, nobody likes your candidate

I take your point.

See, I told you guys this stuff about him starting at 40% approval was utter nonsense. 56% is a strong position, and whilst not the 67% Obama, we must remember that the 67% was mostly fake and dissipated after a few months. A good presidency would mean that Trump takes a generally upward trajectory like Reagan and Bill Clinton.

Rasmussen is also one of the more accurate pollsters of this election, as much as I hate to use the term "accurate" when relating to polls these days. They also offer one of the most regular approval polling, from Monday to Friday.

Lol.

So yes, most Americans like Trump, get over it.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/trump_favorableunfavorable-5493.html

Favorable average: 41.8%
Unfavorable average: 49.9%

Most Americans don't like Trump. This was true before election day and after election day. Even if you wanted, for your "polls were wrong" factor, you could tack on a few extra favorable points and he would still be more unpopular than popular. Most national polls were simply not off by enough here to make a case that he is actually more liked than not.

Frankly, the fact that you have to sit here and cherry pick polls to prove people like him should be a red flag on its own.

Land lines only, effectively selecting an older and much more conservative se3gment of the population.

Rasmussen, first full 3-day sample since Trump was sworn in:

55% approve
44% disapprove

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/trump_administration/trump_approval_index_history

Gallup should have their first results today at around 1pm.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Gallup: 45% approve 55% disaprove of Trump http://www.gallup.com/home.aspx

Mein Gott, that's horrible!

So Rasmussen has Trump up 11 and Gallup has him down 10?

[Phony Moderate]

As if no one would be undecided three days into a presidency; Gallup in fact has it even at 45/45.

WBUR, Massachusetts

This looks like favorability, altogether -- how optimistically Massachusetts people think of  Donald Trump today. Average the "good" as favorability, and one gets about 25%.

Was George III ever that unpopular in Massachusetts?




http://www.wbur.org/politicker/2017/01/19/poll-trump-massachusetts-inauguration

At this point, I think Massachusetts would be ready to return to British rule!

If PPP does a poll of Massachusetts and wants a quirky question, whether Massachusetts voters would rather return to British rule than endure Donald Trump might be a good one. I have supplied some such questions that have been placed in their polls. 

Red is for a Democratic advantage, and blue is for a Republican advantage.


Favorability:

Probably our best approximation until about March.


Approval:

Not likely useful until March.


Even -- white



Blue, positive and 40-43%  20% saturation
............................ 44-47%  40%  
............................ 48-50%  50%
............................ 51-55%  70%
............................ 56%+     90%

Red, negative and  48-50%  20% (raw approval or favorability)
..........................  44-47%  30%
..........................  40-43%  50%
..........................  35-39%  70%
.......................under  35%  90%

Colors chosen for partisan affiliation.
