Trump approval ratings thread 1.1

[Person Man]

Rasmussen daily, July 14: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/trump_administration/prez_track_jul14

Approve 43% (27% strongly)
Disapprove 57% (48% strongly)

Poor Don.  Now even his junk propaganda pollster has him significantly in the red.

By strongly disapprove, you mean never vote for?

Strongly approve and strongly disapprove are two of the options in their polls.  How the respondents define those is up to them.   For the trend on these daily polls, see also http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/trump_administration/trump_approval_index_history

Yeah, would expect any of them to vote for Trump noneoftheless?

Gallup (July 14th)

Approve 38% (-1)
Disapprove 57% (+2)

[The Other Castro]

ABC's last poll was 4/17-4/20 and showed Trump at 42-53. Given the hype, I'd imagine this has to be below 40.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Lol the hype for a poll means either Trump crashed, or he surged.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Well where is the poll?

[heatcharger]

[Dr. Arch]

Lmao

[Virginiá]

Pffft that is only marginally worse than his current Gallup poll, and not even his lowest approvals/highest disapproves. A real breath taker would be like 31 or 32% and > 62% disapprove

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

Lmao

ahahhahah

Still significant in that we have someone else matching Gallup's numbers. Gallup and Quinnipiac have consistently been the only two showing this big of a gap. Granted, other pollsters have had his disapproval mired in the mid to upper 50's, but his approval has ranged from 35-43 among all the non-Morning Consult polls.

Oh, well when you put it like that, I guess it is kind of significant. I'm just wondering if he'll stay this far underwater both this November and the late October/early November after that. Those are the most important time periods of the next 2 years where it'll count.

Given his consistently high 'strong disapprove' numbers, I'm inclined to think it has some serious staying power.

It is mind-boggling how Trump has a 36% approval rating with a good economy.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

After looking through the ABC poll it is now concrete that Trump is losing his base.

South: 39/56 (-17)
Midwest: 37/54 (-17)

Republican Leaning: 76/17 (+59)  We're approaching Reagan Democrat numbers here.

Conservative: 66/29 (+37) !

White: 45/49 (-4)

Male: 42/51 (-9) !

40-49: 34/58 (-24)
50-64: 39/57 (-18)
65+: 42/55 (-13)

White Catholic: 49/48 (+1) Means he is underwater with catholics because it doesn't take into account non-whites.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

It is mind-boggling how Trump has a 36% approval rating with a good economy.

It means the American people are smart enough to not buy the WH's false claims that he is solely responsible for its uptick despite the fact he's only been in office for six months and hasn't done anything.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

^ Where are you getting that white Catholics number?

]

It's in the ABC poll. Like the other groups. It's under "Race/Religion" and it only polled whites within the catholic religion.

I don't get the 'What do Dems stand for' gripe in the article. What did the GOP stand for under Obama or the Dems under Bush? Of course most of the party is going to be against the opposing President and policy issues are going to be secondary.

[Ronnie]

One thing I found interesting about the WaPo poll is that he's losing ground with every age group except old millennials/young Gen-Xers (30-39), with whom he's been steadily ticking upward.  I wonder what he's doing to win that demographic over (relative to others)?

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

Except Dems barely stood for anything when we were governing...

Say what you want about the Conservatives, but they have a coherent policy and cultural identity, even if they don't have a filled out platform. When you think Conservative, you've at least got God Guns Grits n Gravy (or whatever that Huckabee book was) to turn to when figuring out what they want to do with the country.

Most people couldn't name what Clinton was running on or what Democrats wanted to do in power during the 2016 election. Because we never decided, and never told them.

I would argue that was only really with Dubya.


With a Republican president this is the policy agenda they all will push: Tax Cuts

With a Democratic President this is the policy agenda they all will push: Reversing part of last Republican Tax Cuts

On the other agenda there is division in both parties

For Republicans like Huckabee they care more about God, Guns while is willing to take more liberal positions economically 

For Republicans like Reagan, and Romney they mostly care about economic issues and will try to push pro business economic policies even though they must compromise on social issues.

For Republicans like the Bushes, McCain they mostly care about foreign affairs and will try to push their agenda there while willing to compromise on other policies

This is true for dems as well

[EnglishPete]

Interesting detail from the poll

[BudgieForce]

What's interesting about those number? Republicans are less likely to believe news on Russia? Thats common knowledge.

I think he can go down to 30% approval ratings.

Serious question when it comes to critizing Obama and Clinton why do you ignore that they had republican congresses that hated them?

[The Mikado]

Might as well ask how much Bush accomplished in his last two years after the Democrats retook Congress.

Pretty much nothing for most of it because Bush had mentally checked out of the Presidency at some point in 2006 and was just waiting out the end...until the financial crisis started and they had to shove through TARP.

Presidents don't do a lot with hostile Congresses in terms of domestic affairs. (Congress basically doesn't give a s**t about foreign policy so Obama, like Bush before him and Trump after him, gets pretty much an open hand to do whatever)

[TheSaint250]

Trump's blowing it like Obama in getting a full agenda through.  Trump and Obama might end up in the same position where they hardly get through their campaign promises before the rival party takes control of one house or both houses of Congress and then the next 2-6 are a big screaming match.
