Trump Approval Rating Watch thread.

Agreed in a lot of ways.

I do have to issue you a challenge say the Stock Market has performed well under Trump so far or at the moment. Don't just agree type the statement.

That's a pretty weird challenge to make. It's like saying I got a hot date while Trump was president.

So sure, I'll say the stock market has performed well while Trump was president. Now I do have to issue you a challenge to say that he had basically nothing to do with it.

Down, down, down, down
I'm goin down, down, down, down
I'm goin down, down, down, down
I'm goin down, down, down, down…

And if you eliminate Rasmussen from it
Approve = 38.875%
Disapprove = 61.25%

Good man
I already did say Trump had little to do with it Post or two before yours

The same challenge stands for our Obama haters.

Yes but in that post you seemed to indicate that you think he will have a good deal to do with stock performance starting in a few months. My argument would be that eight years from now he will still have very little to do with stock performance, just like Obama had little to do with stock performance. That's what I'm looking for you to say?

Oh I see yes I agree any President is never 100% responsible for market performance. Honestly I don't even have a percentage maybe long term they can influence it with stable policies and avoiding wars or even lowering taxes but overall long term it's probably 10% of the presidents doings. Maybe more for very specific stocks or very narrow periods of time.

It's interesting how the markets go up based on what people think Republican presidents will do and they go up based on what Democrat presidents actually do, but go down when it's reversed.

Serious Question:


Who will Donnie throw under the bus first?
Melania? Eric? Tiffany? Jared? Donnie Junior?

You know damn well it wont be Ivanka. He'll send every else to jail before her. Well, everyone but himself of course.

Wine cellar? Nah Bannon strikes me more like the true alcoholic and hits up the good old jug wine.

Bannon strikes me as more of a glue huffer, and likely celebrates with gasoline on payday.

He's right where Clinton was at the same point in his first term. I don't recall him being that low so quick nor why it dropped so fast.

He dropped and rebounded in a period spanning about 5 weeks.

according to Newsweek, it was the gays, which i do remember being a big issue.

"A number of factors were blamed for Clinton's low approval at the time. The economy wasn't exactly humming along. There were the beginnings of an ethics controversy over the White House travel office. Clinton also allowed gay people to serve in the military under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that angered people, both for allowing gay people to serve and for not treating gay people equally."

President Trump's job approval rating has fallen to a new low, according to a poll released Wednesday.

The new Quinnipiac University poll finds Trump has a job approval rating of 34 percent, compared to 57 percent who disapprove of the way the president is handling his job as president.

In a poll released at the end of last month, 37 percent of respondents approved of the job the president was doing and 55 percent disapproved.

Nearly 70 percent of voters are "very concerned" or "somewhat concerned" about the president's relationship with Russia.

The winning. It's too much.

I've been trumped! I said he would bottom out at 35, but he is such a winner he surpassed my expectations. How low can he go!

 

[Blackjack200]

I'll be damned, didn't think it could go this low. This is just one poll though, let's hope it's not an outlier.

 

[edcoolio]

I'm sure it has been brought up, but I'm curious if this still holds true today (6-7 weeks after the poll was taken):

If the Election were to be Held Again Today

"...were the 2016 election held again today, it shows Trump would avenge his popular-vote loss."

 

[Blackjack200]

I'd guess it would. Clinton remains deeply unpopular. And now there's the story of her having slaves in the Gov.'s mansion in Arkansas

Not a useful poll anyway and it's silly for WP to report on it. In short, that poll result is nearly certainly wrong.

It's a well established fact that after an election people often claim to have voted for (or say they would have voted for) the winner and similarly lots of people who voted for the loser say they wouldn't have or wouldn't have voted. This is the fundamental polling error that made the LA Times poll so inaccurate during the 2016 election, it assumed people's stated voting preferences were true. This is why it was off by about 5 points in favor of Trump, it assumed that everyone who claimed to have voted for Obama or Romney actually did so and that's after 4 years of time to wash the stink off of loss off Romney.

Anyone who is saying such a poll shows Trump would win the popular vote if the election were held today is full of shit and is ignoring a lot of empirical research.

 

[Blackjack200]

It's actually not a new revelation. It's been out there for 20 years, but people just noticed it because nobody ever reads those stupid books that national political figures write.

https://www.pastemagazine.com/artic...et-is-reacting-to-a-very-problematic-sec.html

Anyway, point is that the Democratic party nominated terrible candidate who had already lost a presidential primary, lost the GE to one of the most unpopular nominees of all time, and I'd guess could easily lose it again.

You are probably right.

Thanks for the information. I did not know that.

He always swings from the twilight zone so don't worry about it. Prison inmates are doing hard time for their illegal acts and are not the same thing as slaves so you shouldn't confuse the two.

While I don't think it's likely I read Trumps current poll numbers are similar to BIll Clintons at this point. Personally I think BUbba was the best modern president. We just don't know where Thisbe will go.

President Obama had a low point of 38%, President Reagan 35%, President Clinton 37% and President G.W. Bush got down to 25%.

LOTS of time left to either sink even lower or climb higher.

We shall see...

The best modern president?

Dude he destroyed parts of the new deal that kept us out of a major depression for 70 years with glass-steagall. He was a DINO.

Can you speculate how it gets higher?

What can he do that's going to change minds at this point?

I feel as though he's been so polarizing as to leave little room for middle ground. Polling I saw said ~50% strongly disagree with his handling of the job while only ~25% strongly agree with his handling of the job. That's a LOT of people who have made up their mind...
