New poll shows Trump approval rating at 48 percent

[Earl]

EXACTLY! Do you see my point now? 48% is viewed as bad enough, for Obama, that it is offered as a clap back by conservatives, whereas for Trump the same number is a subject for bragging. That really underscores just how horrible Trump's numbers have been.

Also, just as a side note, make sure you don't make the mistake of comparing a straight opinion poll for Obama to a Rasmussen special for Trump. Rasmussen doesn't measure approval with the American people generally, but instead only those Rasmussen has defined as "likely voters." In essence, they throw away the responses of a lot of people, based on their own expectation of who is likely to show up and vote, and then only count the remainder. That makes for an apples-to-oranges comparison, when you compare to a poll of Americans as a whole.

Why should we care about voters who are too lazy to show up and vote?

Your drugs are turning your brain to mush

the only approval rating that matters, is sitting at 306, and holding

and the Democrats plan to dethrone that is a fake Indian, a moonbat that smokes pot and listens to Tupac and Snoop Dog, and a host of other clowns clamoring to make fools of themselves nationally

good day to be a conservative

BUILD THAT WALL

It's simply a question of understanding what you're talking about. If you want to know how popular Trump is with the American people, check any poll other than Rasmussen. If you want to know how popular Trump is with only those Americans Rasmussen wants to count, check with Rasmussen.

Trump is growing more and more popular by the day.
And liberals know wit

not good for you nut-bags, bad timing

Liberals do know wit. Cons could learn from us.

A nice sentiment, but it's unlikely most of them can learn from anyone.

resident Trump's approval rating among Americans stands at 48 percent, a new poll shows.

The poll from American Barometer, a new joint project by Hill.TV and HarrisX, showed that among those who approve of Trump's job performance, 23 percent did so "strongly" while 25 percent did so "somewhat."

The survey also showed 52 percent disapproved of Trump's performance, with 38 percent doing so "strongly" and 14 percent disapproving "somewhat.” The poll was released on Wednesday's edition of the new online video show "What America's Thinking" with Joe Concha.

Dritan Nesho, a pollster and CEO of HarrisX, said the new findings show Trump's approval ratings have not been hit by the recent barrage of negative news. Trump also remains a polarizing figure ahead of the midterms in November.

“Despite recent events on immigration and Russia, Trump’s approval is sustained by strong economic optimism and his positions on a series of core issues," Nesho said.

The American Barometer poll found Trump enjoyed the approval of 87 percent of Republicans and 44 percent of independents, but only 17 percent of Democrats.

The president also had a majority of approval from men (52 percent), whites (57 percent), adults aged 35 to 49 (54 percent), rural Americans (56 percent) and Southerners (52 percent), the poll showed.

This was American Barometer’s first measure of Trump support, which will be tracked weekly.

The survey was conducted online within the United States between July 23-24 among a randomly selected sample of 1,001 American voters.

July? You're fucking kidding, right?

Here are the composite numbers, dumbfuck, that reflect TODAY.

RCP
Approval - 43.5%
Piece of shit - 53.3%

538
Approval - 41.8%
Piece of shit - 53.8%

And that includes the outlier Rasmussen.

There is that.

Urban and sub-urban people who lean toward progressive liberal ideology solidly if not vastly outnumber rural people who lean conservative.
Polls should show a liberal bias, but that doesn't mean anything in terms of government.

The regressive troglodytes have a reason for wishing that they could fellate the framers day and night.
The framers gave us an incredible stupid form of government that results in regressive troglodytes being vastly over-represented.
