TRUMP BUMP: The President’s Approval Rating POPS to 50%

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.

The question is that enough for Trump to keep the house?

Why is it Rasmussen conistantly has the highest numbers?
RCP avg has him @ 43.5 (Quinnipiac @ 38)

According to the most recent Fox News Poll, Trump’s approval rating is at 46%.

His numbers are really really bad (low to mid 30s) in the Rust Belt. So the answer is “probably not”.

Because they’re in the tank. 538 rates them C+. YouGov (A) yesterday had him at 38.

I haven’t been back there in couple years, thought I might be heading that way this summer but to much is on my plate ATM.

I usually get a good feel about it when I’m with my friends and people there.

I have talked to couple over the phone since the election, not much have changes with them thou…but that’s not the same as being there.

It’s going to be a really interesting November for us politics nerds :slight_smile:

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.

Daily one-off polls really don’t tell us anything. It’s the aggregate that serves a larger picture, where trump is hovering around 41%. He’s 48 today on ras, and they had this to say about the monthly average:
