CNN poll: 56% approve Trump's handling of economy

So democrats give themselves their worst rating since 9/11 and that means nothing?

 

A little, but this is down right homophobic!

 

It's hard tho...I live out in California and most people aren't even noticing how good the economy is. Bernie is a threat if he can stop with his own foot in mouth disease. If Bernie could stop with these retarded statements that he does every time he runs ie I want all criminals to be able to vote...then he has a chance.

Any one running based on free stuff is a threat to Trump. But overall, with this Russia meddling conspiracy falling apart I think the left is all but done.

 

And Mrs Obatard was 20X the man her husband was, now some scary stuff right there!

 

Sissy Pants are Fe-MALES that cant even throw a baseball
TL 50Sec

Or basketballs!

 

There's no doubt CNN and MSNBC is very anti Trump, Fox on the other hand, mostly pro Trump. But this probably has a lot to due to their audience. The networks, at least on cable are giving their viewers what they want in hopes of keeping them while adding new viewers. Cable news is a money making operation. The more viewers, the more each can charge for their commercials. You also have certain newspapers and magazines more or less pro and anti Trump.

I think independents know the bias in the media. Question 29. Worse Treatment Compared Compared with how the media has treated other Presidents, have they treated Donald Trump...
Only 12% of independents state that Trump has been treated better by the media than other presidents. 28% say about the same and 41% state worse and much worse. You can check the partisanship difference of opinion by party also.

Then also, according to Gallup only 32% of all Americans have a a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the MSM to report the news fully, accurately and fairly. What is a fair amount, I'm not certain. Broken down by party, 51% of democrats trust the MSM to report the news fairly, fully and accurately, 30% of independents do along with 14% of Republicans.

The problem is biased in news reporting and especially in stories or non-reporting of certain news events and happenings. MSM in reporting the news has taken sides in our political battles instead of just reporting on them. I think most folks recognize this.

Even so, when a president acts, behaves like folks don't expect a president to act, their perspective or view of that president isn't going to be good. If Trump acted more like Reagan with more or less Reagan's personality, persona, with the same economic figures Trump has today along with other things such as policy, Trump would be up to 55% or perhaps 60% job approval and favorably. Reagan never got into feuds, he let most political personal attacks just run off his back without response. Or he told a self depreciating joke. In short Reagan acted and behaved presidential. The people looked at Reagan and came to the conclusion that is what a president should look like, act like, sound like and Reagan could connect with the people. They believed him and believed in him.

Now you have Trump, the uncouth WWE wrestler who calls people names, throws temper tantrums, behaves like he's in the a wresting ring or back on his reality TV show. Not as occupant of the Oval office. It's Trump himself that keeps him around 40-45% approval, not his policies, not his stances on issues, what he has or hasn't accomplished. It all goes back to his disagreeable persona and behavior for quite a lot of people. I know his base loves it, but not the most important voting block, independents. forget Democrats, they're never going to like him or support him. But Trump and the GOP needs independents, Right now Trump doesn't have them, not even all those independents who voted for him back in 2016. He's lost some of them which could make 2020 look bleak.

 

Yeah, Trump's not a Mitt Romney. A well-dressed businessman with that kind of etiquette. That said, I think there's something to be said for the unfairness of the Trump term. For half of it, we've dealt with Collusion theory. For the rest, we're going to be dealing with Obstruction. Republicans made a more consciously good-will effort towards Obama and none of us forgot the bad political blood there.

This has been substantially worse. It feels like not electing Trump would essentially be rewarding bad behavior and making it simple: Just smear a conservative if he ever does get into the WH.

 

Cool by me, I don't think that there are any double standards or anything like that. And I don't mean to be personally offensive, my personality is very jovial and I use lots of colorful expression but if you were in my presence you'd be laughing all the way through it.

 

That does seam frightening, and would send me running.

 

Another propaganda post trying to make Trump supporters feel good. Eleven polls not just one poll as the poster on this thread has given us indicate Trump's overall approval rating averages 43.8%. His overall disapproval rating from the same 11 polls averages out to 53.% .Trump has consistently scored the lowest ratings ever despite the fact that we have a decent economy. The American people don't trust Trump and don't like him. As more facts come out regarding his many obstruction attempts look for this hole to dig himself into deeper hole polls.

Trump's problem is Trump. It's his behavior and personality that turns people off.

 

Ah how short memories are.

Most people remember the party of no and the birther movement.

Where are the fiscal **********s at btw, anyone seen them lately? Or did we solve the debt issue?

 

The American people see more clearly than you do. Trump's delivery is too much?!?! If lying on a daily basis, ignoring the constitution, covering up real facts about himself and his administration, forcing people to leave his administration when they don't do his immoral and illegal bidding, and agreeing with Putin that Russia is 100% clear of any involvement in the 2016 election, are too much then you're correct. You forget that the 90% negative coverage reflects thousands of lies, his gross mistreatment of reality and his divisive statements.. Trump called an American judge of Mexican descent a Mexican Judge simply because he didn't like his rulings. If he ever labeled an American Judge of Jewish background a Jew Judge he knows that the Jewish Community and the Anti-Defamation League would be on his back for months. Trump runs away like a coward from real consequences.
He's nothing more than a contemptible liar whos approval ratings in the polls reflect reality unlike your bogus 90% figure witch is laughable.
11 polls gave him an overall disproval rating of 53.1. The same 11 polls give him an average approval rating of 43.8. His positives are shockingly and persistently low considering the economy is decent. Most presidents even bad ones get a lift in ratings when the economy is decent.

If you were right then Trump should be riding high in the ratings right now. But your wrong. Conventional thinking doesn't always work.
11 polls gave him an overall disproval rating of 53.1. The same 11 polls give him an average approval rating of 43.8. His positives are shockingly and persistently low considering the economy is decent. Most presidents even bad ones would get a lift in the ratings by now when the economy is decent. Not Trump and it's all down hill from here. No one trusts him.

Don't think the bad stuff from Mueller's report and dozens of other on-going investigations are going away.

 

This is true, but it's also unfortunate. Again, it sets the negative precedent that if I don't just like a Democrat or a Republican, I can smear-trash their entire presidency. We're supposed to be better than this as a country.

 

Are you being paid? No one can be so dedicated to hate OR you’re a Russian bot. Either way you’re on the clock it seems. I’m calling out everyone on this board that is so ridiculously partisan because it’s beyond unhealthy. It would be a mental illness if it’s real to be so obsessive.

 

Sure, I'm so happy that you are so overconfident. That's what got Trump elected in the first place. You underestimate him. You underestimate his intelligence. And all the people who will never give him credit when he does good, all the people lying about him, will end up creating more Trump supporters because people are sick of all the hate. Each one of you are just a brick in the wall.

 

They are for real. It's mass hysteria created by the media. No matter how many times the media lies they are ready to lap up the next lie. It's psychotic.

 

You should see "Michelle" lob a football.

Even without the spiral, man does it fly. And so fast!

 

Where'd ya get the bogus chart?

Trump has been the most consistent president when it comes to approval ratings. Really no highs and no lows. So far Trump has had an high of 45% approval, a low of 37% approval, an average of 42%. That's only an 8 point range which reflects that those who support Trump won't change and neither those who oppose him. The 8 point fluctuation between highest and lowest is the smallest on record. Here's the list of presidents with their highest/lowest and average.

Trump Highest 45% Lowest 37% Average 42%

Obama Highest 69% Lowest 38% Average 47.9%

Bush (G.W.) Highest 90% Lowest 25% Average 49.4%

Clinton Highest 73% Lowest 37% Average 55.1%

Bush (G.H.W.) Highest 89% Lowest 29% Average 60.9%

Reagan Highest 68% lowest 35% Average 52.8%

Carter Highest 75% Lowest 28% Average 45.5%

Ford Highest 71% Lowest 37% Average 47.2%

Nixon Highest 67% Lowest 24% Average 49.1%

Johnson Highest 79% Lowest 35% Average 55.1%

Kennedy Highest 83% Lowest 56% Average 70.1%

Eisenhower Highest 79% Lowest 48% Average 65.0%

Truman Highest 87% Lowest 22% Average 45.4%

Roosevelt Highest 84% Lowest 48% No average available as approval ratings began in 1937 and FDR took office in March of 1933.

All other presidents approval, disapproval rating were determined by their stances on issues, their policies, events happening. Trump's is more centered around his personality, character, his unique persona more adept to a wrestler in the WWE than an occupant of the Oval Office. Folks either love him or hate him, no middle ground, very few in-between.

Some of this, Trump's very small range in the number of those who approve of him has to do with today's polarization, the ultra high partisanship in Washington and throughout the country. Such polarization of politics and the ultra high partisanship is something relative new. The partisanship has always been with us, but never front and centered as it is today. Trump with his unique brash, in your face persona, very unpresidential also has quite a lot to do with it. His base loves it, but it rubs others the wrong way.

 

We're suppose to be. Just like Reid set the precedence for use of the nuclear option in the senate, which will become common place to get what ever the majority party wants. This trashing, this attempt to destroy a president just because you lost an election will also become common place. The party that doesn't hold the White House now that the precedence has been set, will from now on out try to destroy whomever is elected.

That is by any means available to them with no regard to the repercussions or whether it does harm or not to the country. Loyalty to the party, the good of the party has replaced loyalty to the nation and doing good for the country. What's lost is that usually a successful presidency leads to the country being successful.

 

They weren't voted in to be the yes-men for Trump. That's not how it works in the US.
To call that unpatriotic.... what a joke.
