Despite months of negative attacks from the mainstream media and Democrats, President Trump’s approval rating rose to 51% among likely voters this week; a sharp rebuke to liberal legislators following a brutal confirmation battle surrounding Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
Unfortunately for Trump, Rasmussen is an outlier. On RCP, the aggregated approval rating is 43.5%. It’s always best to get a wider sample of polling to get more accurate data.
When I still had a landline I was called by a pollster. When I didn’t give him the approved answer on the second question, he promptly hung up on me. So much for wanting my opinion.
Trump’s approval rating is about 43.5%. Grant it, that’s high for his presidency, but it’s still bad. Trump’s mark at about 44% has been his highest.
With that said, the whole Kavanaugh debacle HAS riled up his base and perhaps added a couple of supporters.
But in the overall picture, giving a Trump a pat on the back for being at 43.5% is rather pathetic. I hate the fact that Trump’s presidency has degraded the office. Now, we’re giving high fives to outliner polling results.
Hey, among people I know, his overall approval is around 80%. It just depends on how many people you ask and what the questions are. Besides, professional pollsters always know how to get the results they want. It’s like a soda ad. If they ask 100 people and 9 like their soda, they can say 9 out of 10 prefer it.
