AT Official President Trump Rating Thread

[alien42]

This thread is actually a really good idea. Immediate indicator of just how far from reality the ATPN minds are.

Compare with the real world:

Gallup - 43%
Rasmussen - 52%

Know how everyone knows you're a troll?

Too early to vote for me....need more data.

Well, you can vote now and then update your vote when you have more info. This poll isn't designed to be a "once and forever this is what you think branded on the internet for eternity" - opinions change. This poll allows for that.

 

[First]

To further update the thread, here's what the country thinks about him:

44% approve, 50% disapprove

Nearly 20 points worse than every modern president in history at this point in their terms.

Purely from an approval perspective, this is the worst start for a president in history. Then you get to his policy and, well, ain't looking good.

Lol, Rasmussen.

Huh? Your numbers perfectly support my point.

The poll in the OP has 70% of the votes at 1 of 10 stars. Trump is polling better than that in every single real-life poll you listed.

This forum is a useless left-wing echo chamber. Maybe it's fun circle-jerking each other, but you aren't actually having any intelligent discussions because you are stuck in the bigotry of "anything pro-Trump is bad!".

 

[First]

Haha, already beaten to the polling punch.

Man, people really hate this dude. If he makes it that far, I wonder how badly he's going to get beat down in 2020? Might go down as more unpopular than Bush, which says something about recent Republican presidents.

Fact; ATPN disapproves of Trump just like the rest of the country and it's not even close.

Fact; rural white America's approval of Trump is way out of step with the vast majority of the country.

Heh, too bad that apparent "vast majority" was too stupid or too lazy to get out and vote.

They voted, Trump was killed by like 3M votes, saved by antiquated electoral college specifically set up to restrain the will of majority rule.

This is common knowledge, though, and no one has accused you of either common knowledge or sense, so naturally you are confused.

 

[First]

He does have a point though. 40% approval is more than just rural white America.

It would be interesting to have more than just approval/disapproval.

The breakdowns are worse than 40% if you look at strongly approve/disapprove intensity. Also, as I noted, this is 20 pts worse than a POTUS normally starts with, and the reason is there's a sort of rally around the flag effect at the beginning of a presidency, so the fact that Trump is nearly 20 pts behind already suggests his base of support will quickly collapse below the 40% barrier when the actual real world consequences of his admin become apparent.

Ah, so you lied, is that your answer?

Because nobody anywhere would ever call a 3 million margin popular vote "the vast majority". It's less than a 3% margin.

I never said he lost the popular vote by vast majority, read more carefully you'll do better in college.

Btw, to further reiterate; ATPN is just like the rest of the country, highly disapproving of Donald, especially when you control for age and education. Facts are tough I know.

Well, this is a tech forum, so it's generally populated with individuals that are above average intelligence.

Secondly, if you want to have intelligent discussions, you should start making intelligent contributions. There are most definitely conservatives here that do so; you are not one of them.

 

[First]

Well if he gets the wall going and immigration bans through, that will limit the downside for him. There appears to be a significant percentage of the population for which this is the most important issue. I am not convinced that it will solve any real world problems for them but it will make them feel good.

Luckily he's entirely constrained by filibusters, courts and a multitude of other controls, so he won't get anything done on immigration that isn't common sense bipartisan.

Well then he will have to go with optional wars, the majority of Americans are always down with that. Break out the body bags....

Ha, yeah we'll see about that one.

This one should worry you. There are people in his administration who desperately want to take out Iran. I can't see any way they could make that happen right now but I also saw no way that Trump could get elected.

I have little doubt, though I think even someone as foolish as Trump can be constrained by generals who tell him it's a clusterfuck of a move to go into Iran. That's a shitstorm.

But we are, of course, talking about Donald Trump. Doesn't exactly have a track record for good decision making or success generally.

Rasmussen is a totally Trump aligned polling farce, they dont even try to hide it. Almost as if Breitbart was running it!

Sorry, no option to reduce the damn size and various bb sizing codes do not work!

 

[First]

Well he did get elected and without much if any help from the establishment. That is pretty damn successful in my book.

What is odd about Trump is that I consider him to be a borderline insane conspiracy theorist completely unfit for his position yet nearly half of the voters thought differently. I disliked Clinton but there was no way in hell I would have ever considered voting for Trump.

Indeed, that is one definition of success, though in the worst possible way i.e. preying on people's worst instincts and worse selves.

Yes, that is something I give Trump credit for, he was all rah-rah for waterboarding, Mattis said nope, and Trump said "okay".
