I acknowledge that other polls have him lower. This thread isn't about those, just because you don't care for this source doesn't mean it should necessarily bee discarded. Looks like he's a few points ahead of Obama at the same times in his presidency in this poll. Trump is crushing it.
No, he's not. Did you look at the 538 poll I linked, he's behind, not ahead of Obama.

Look, he just referenced a poll skewed by right-wing authoritarians, and Strongman Trump is rated at about 50% approval.

There may be other polls that show that Strongman Trump has a higher disapproval rate than approval rate. Hell, maybe all of the rest of the polls show that Strongman Trump has a higher disapproval rate than approval rate.

But we aren't talking about those polls, because cognitive dissonance and projection are the twin pillars of modern US conservatism, so acknowledging objective, observable reality, isn't something that is helpful for the average modern US conservative.

Seriously though polls mean crap. Hillary was suppose to win by a landslide according to polls. :p Hillary would have been a disaster though. Same corruption, without any of the entertainment.

Nope, thread title is spot on. In that poll he showed 50% approval, just because you don't like that poll doesn't make it meaningless. I wouldn't be shocked if that site was closer to being accurate about Trump in 2016 than the polls you prefer. 50% isn't hard to imagine given his incredible rise in African American support and the fact that he's been crushing it lately, getting better deals for America while the economy booms.

It’s funny watching you spin yourself up into ever more ridiculous pronouncements when you feel your ideas are threatened.

Oh shit another troll comes out of the woodworks.

I've got news for you troll, the polls were actually pretty accurate, especially 538.

The Democrats always seem to low rate his entertainment value.

If you think Donny has a snowball's chance in hell after putting babies in cages, I want two of what ever you've been drinking.

Unfortunately, there's a fairly good chance he gets re-elected. He's in pretty good position. This country is run by a small minority. Has been for quite some time.

Not sure where you got this idea from but it’s badly wrong. The polls missed Clinton’s popular vote margin by around one percent. They were highly accurate.

Leftist talking point. He wasn't putting babies in cages, they were trying to stop human trafficking.

Trump for President...Too late, sorry.

I think you will see more people coming out for Trump again. There are so many closet Trump supporters it is not even funny. They see how you liberals act and don't support him day to day, but votes will show how wrong you are, again.

Human trafficking? What bullshit. They took kids away from their parents because they opted to try their parents, including those seeking asylum, as criminals.

By putting babies in cages
You act like it wasn't already happening. They are ILLEGAL and have to be kept somewhere. Don't do the crime you won't do the time. If i break the law and get caught i go to jail without my family. The only difference is i have a house, as i LIVE here and those kids needed somewhere safe to be. Would you rather they be left on the streets?

It's always interesting to watch the mental gymnastics conservatives go through in order to justify the mass incarceration of small children.

Honestly, you guys who are justifying this are mentally ill. You need help.

Bullshit. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, illegal about seeking asylum. That's what is different here. They are charging asylum seekers with criminal offenses which is causing the separation. This is their choice to do this.
