Trump approval ratings thread 1.6

[Bidenworth2020]

The Economist/YouGov weekly tracker, March 29-31, 1500 adults including 1194 RV

Adults:

Approve 47 (+1)
Disapprove 46 (-3)

Strongly approve 26 (nc)
Strongly disapprove 34 (-4)


RV:

Approve 47 (nc)
Disapprove 50 (-1)

Strongly approve 29 (-1)
Strongly disapprove 40 (-3)

2020 (RV only):
Generic D 45 (-2), Trump 42 (+1)
Biden 46 (nc), Trump 42 (nc)
Sanders 45 (-1), Trump 44 (nc)

GCB (RV only): D 48 (+1), R 39 (+1)

Is there any reason for this tracking poll being in constant flux?

Normal variation.  Everything except the changes in strong disapproval is within the margin of error.

Sorry, I meant to say the discrepancy between RV and adults. It seems like the group Trump does better with flips every week.

Trump approval still went up to another all time high at 47.7

Trump approval still went up to another all time high at 47.7

He's back at majority disapproval though-50.3%. He should be getting a much bigger rally around the flag effect.

I'm a little annoyed that PPP didn't poll the presidential race.

In the California poll?  It's Biden 67, Trump 29; I included it in the post.

Yeah, it's weird they didn't include any horse race or even primary.

If Trump can keep his newfound popularity, I think the election is good as his. The real danger is that the popularity is fleeting or they are composed of Democrats who approve of Trump temporarily but intend to vote for Biden.

At the moment, it looks like that the latter case is true but it's also true we've seen polling showing a closer race. FTW, I think Biden's a terrible candidate, but objectively, he's held leads over Trump consistently, so we will see if the situation holds.

I think we don't know yet how it is going to develop.

Approve 45

Gov. Whitmer's approval is 54/34 overall, 62/28 on the virus.

Expected worse FWIW. -4 approval and Biden +3 in Michigan after Trump's not so bright remarks by PPP (partisan per 538).

Best news I've heard in awhile.

Also a rather strong argument for Sanders to finally officially throw in the towel and back Joe. Every month, week, and day we can spend reconciling the party helps us in November. There's literally zero reason to continue his campaign at this point.

We now have the three barest wins of 2016 for Trump.

Trump:

approval 40% or less (Trump has no chance)
approval 41-45% and disapproval 50% or higher(likely Biden)
higher disapproval but disapproval under 50% (edge to Biden)

Not surprising 

I have been saying this at the Start when people kept bringing up his rising poll numbers 

I said Trump getting a poll bump will not matter because things were going to get far worse and once that reality becomes clear to the american people he is going to be in big trouble........

Rassy is trashy, but this big of a one day drop is crazy for a tracking poll.

Let's not be hypocrites, as you mentioned. Rassy was always trash and will continue to be trash.

I imagine this trend will soon silence the low character/low morality trolls on this forum, trying to claim that Trump has done a good job managing this crisis. No, he hasn't, as evidenced by his near complete inaction from January through most of March, his refusal to order a nation-wide stay at home order, his delayed invoking of DPA despite a low number of ventilators, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of cases and soon to be tens of thousands of deaths. Trump is phenomenally lucky that his approval rating on COVID-19 isn't way, way lower because it should be. Too bad everyday Americans are the ones who will truly suffer for his incompetence.

[GeorgiaModerate]

I've seen Rasmussen take some odd jumps (in either direction) because they get hold of a wacky daily sample.  They use a 3-day rolling average, so let's see if the drop holds up longer than that.

[afleitch]

Trump is being led. Not leading. He either reads a script he doesn't understand or veers off it. With every conference that's starting to become clear and may start to bring his approvs back down.

Yeah so once again, I don't think Trump's bump has really faded yet.

With how fast things are moving, figures from last week may already be stale.
