President Trump’s daily approval rating popped to 50% this week following a series of strong economic reports and a raucous rally in Tampa, Florida; spiking to its highest level in months.
The new survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports shows the Commander-in-Chief’s poll numbers on the rise after the US GDP rose a stunning 4.1% in the second quarter of 2018.
“The latest figures include 35% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 41% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -6,” writes the report.
Trump’s healthy approval rating throws more cold-water on the media’s over-hyped “blue wave” predicted for this fall, with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi vowing to repeal the widely popular GOP tax cuts should the Democrats retake control of Congress.
Be careful what you wish for. Dems may retake the house. If they don’t destroy the economy in two years…Trump will bring in whole new republican congress with his reelection in 2020.
I don’t see the senate falling. That might happen in 2022 when it’s in democrats favor.
That’s more important branch for Trump…and thus IMO Trump needs to pick up 5 or 6 extra seats to survive 2022.
