Trump doing better than Reagan and Obama

O=47.4
D=41.6

Better than I expected. I imagine that will be changing soon enough.

lets just say the OP skews results

42.2 Real Clear Politics

Number I go with is the “likely voters”

52/42.8

so 45 would be within the margin of error

Within the margin of error.

You will go with whatever supports your beliefs

Seems a little high but I will go with it

As will you.

I like polls that show likely voters. If someone says they disaprove but likely won’t be voting, well . . .

I didn’t pull it out of a hat. I looked it up.

I wasnt disputing it

I like polls of Americans

Does it matter if they won’t vote? I think it does. I’ll let you guess why

538: Approval ratings have traditionally been taken among all adults, so this provides for better continuity between Trump’s ratings and those of past presidents.

Quinnipac, a poll of Registered and likely voters has him at 40%

Kind of you.

I like polls with registered voters because well, if you arent registered, well, you know

Both Reagan and Obama won the popular vote, and both of them got more electoral votes than Trump.

Both Reagan and Obama entered office in a bad economy while Trump entered office in basically a good economy. During this time in Reagan’s Presidency, Unemployment was very high. The Economy under Reagan didn’t start really improving until his third year in office.

One point is nothing to crow about.

What would Bamma’s number be if he had a 18 months of negative press from the majority of the media?
