Trump approval ratings thread 1.3

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

This belongs in the megathread.

This is a potentially game-changing poll after a unique summit, so it likely deserves a thread on its own.

Oh please. This has a change in approval of literally zero and a decrease of disapproval of 2 from their last poll, which is within the margin of error so it could easily be noise.

This is not remotely a game changer.

But Tender thinks it is, and he is one of the forum's most stubborn users, so don't expect him to concede anything here.

This has nothing to do with me really.

The "megathread" is intended for casual polls that are popping up like mushrooms and show no real movement.

This poll deserves a thread on its own.

No it does not.

Hmm, is this a possible reaction to Putin meetup? If so, there's no reason this wouldn't dissipate in a few weeks. The American Public has the attention of a goldfish when it comes to Russia.

No, it's just that favourability is different from job approval, although for the life of me I will never understand how somebody who correctly identifies Trump as a scumbag, somehow cannot identify the fact that he is doing a horrible job.

Would somebody who preaches how terribly Trump is doing be willing to volunteer details on how their life has changed for the worse since 1/20/17?

I'm not trying to be snide or sarcastic here...I'm looking for a genuine answer. I can understand disliking Trump personally and being turned off by some of the stuff he says, but to claim that his presidency has been horrible doesn't jive in my brain. The economy has been prosperous and we've had relative peace on the world stage. I don't think conditions for the average American are nearly as bad as they were during Jimmy Carter's presidency or GWB's second term.

Speaking for myself, my salary has nearly doubled since January 2017 and my credit union's interest rates for my checking and savings accounts have increased by 1%. Maybe other people have different stories than mine, but I'd have no way of making a case that I had a better life under Obama than Trump.

Some people care about more than just themselves. Some people sympathize to all the victims of Trumps policies on immigration, education, taxes, etc. Not everyone is as closed minded as you are.
