Trump approval ratings thread 1.1

[GeorgiaModerate]

LOL. I actually expected Trump to improve with the NK crisis because people usually rally behind their leader in such times. But likely that most Americans actually blame him for the situation, since he had a very poor performance there (or anywhere).

Justin Trudeau had a good performance with NK. He sent a high-level official there for diplomacy and secured the release of Canada's only prisoner. This success was ignored by the U.S. I didn't even see it on the front page of the WaPo or NY Times.

I don't know about the WaPo or NYT, but I did see it on CNN at the time: http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/09/asia/north-korea-canada-pastor-hyeon-soo-lim/index.html

Monmouth:

Approve 41% (+2)
Disapprove 49% (-2)

According to the tweet, they were 39/52 in July, so that should be -3 on Disapprove.

Millennials FTW

But people keep saying that young millennials are right-wing!

Are there any old millenials?

[GeorgiaModerate]

Sadly, Trump knows what he's doing with his response. He is playing right into what a lot of righties already believe. "He did condemn the neo-Nazis, but the media just doesn't hear it. Good for him for calling out those crazy left BLM thugs too."

Increasing his popularity with a shrinking minority at the expense of decreasing his popularity with a growing majority isn't a winning strategy. 

[GeorgiaModerate]

Two big takeaways-

1. 48% of Trump supporters think white nationalists are either "right" or "have a point"

2. 31% of the public think the president supports white nationalism.

Versus only 22% who think he opposes it.

Don't feed the troll.

From what I've seen in quotes (I've had him on Ignore for a while), I'm really starting to wonder if it's a parody account.

Trump falls to new low of 25 percent approval rate in California poll

I don't see how he possibly wins the PV in 2020 with approvals like that.

I wish California secession would gain more traction. When will Californians realize the rest of the country hates them and they have no real representation.

Dafuq?

I think Beet is day drinking

Trump is popular and people are lying to pollsters. California doesn't count. Right wing Twitter is actually correct about this.

Yes, yes, because surging from 35% to 38% approval is just spectacular.

That includes California.

Yes, Trump is more popular in some states than others.  This is news?

AmericanResearchGroup national poll
Trump Job Approval:
Approve - 33%
Disapprove - 62%


http://americanresearchgroup.com/economy/

Under 30% and he's going to jail.

Poll of doubtful source, left pathetic

Wasn't ARG one of the few pollsters who were fairly accurate in 2016?  Or am I remembering that wrong?

I don't know about 2016 specifically, but overall they have a C+ rating from 538 based on 260 polls, with a negligible bias (R+0.1).

75/25 among Republicans is NOT good for Trump.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Politico/Morning Consult:

39% Approval (20% Strongly)
56% Disapprove (43% Strongly)

Source

These are Trump's worst numbers for this poll. Only 73% of Republicans approve of Trump.

If this continues, it spells midterm disaster for the GOP.

[GeorgiaModerate]

PPP - National:

40% Approve
53% Disapprove

Source

For comparison, in July PPP had 41/55.  Some other tidbits from the new poll:

Generic Congressional ballot is 49 D, 35 R.  Congress approval is 9/73, McConnell is 9/61, Ryan is 16/62.

48/41 in favor of impeachment.  46/37 think the Russia story is not "fake news".  Also:

If evidence comes out that proves conclusively that members of Donald Trump’s campaign
team worked in association with Russia to help Trump win the election for President, do you
think Trump should continue to serve as President, or do you think he should resign?

Continue: 34
Resign: 54
