    Even with the constant drumbeat of negative and fake news about Trump his poll numbers are coming up nicely. This is amazing really and as the economy keeps improving and as Trump's policies take hold he is going to be riding high in the next election cycle. Poor Democrats, your only hope is to impeach.

    "The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance."

    Real unbiased poll numbers are probably way higher. The polls on Trump are by the same fools that said Hillary was going to win in a landslide.

    Exactly. I simply treat the democrats and the news media (wtf is the difference?) as background noise to every day life.

    If the media were fair to him he would easily have an 80% approval rating right now.

    The sacrifices he's made to serve his country and everything he's done in such a short amount of time is incredible.

    Anyone who doesn't thank God daily for what Trump does for us is either misinformed by the Democrat propaganda media or they just hate America.

    Even with the poll internals that trend to swing the numbers negatively and the 90% negative media coverage he is still climbing which is remarkable.

    Wait, I thought you guys didn’t believe in polls.

    It’s not fake news to report on the revelations of the Mueller investigation. Was Flynn fake news? Was Papadopoulos fake news? Or do you simply go to TrumpTV Channek, and get all your info about Trump being a saint from there?

    I clearly stated that despite biased polling Trump is still rising in the polls and that is what's remarkable. If you want fake news examples just look at all the CNN retractions of late and they even had to fire some reporters.

    If it says 45% it is probably like 95%.

    Despite the cry baby's and his bum kissers' desperate attempt to blame "the media" for Americans consistently indicating that he stinks, most agree that he stinks.

    Latest composite numbers: 37.7% approval / 56.4% disapproval.

    Polls schmolls. Deep down everyone knows the Cheeto Benito schmuck is worst thing ever to happen to the Office of President of the U.S. Even the ones who act like it's some sort of privilege to defend whatever it is he's supposed to have done as President. Go ahead. Keep trying and trying to convince those with the wherewithal to understand what we've known all along about him.

    Trump would need 3 or 4 more terms to catch up to Obama's record as worst president in the history of the US. So far he's done more for the US than Bush and Obama combined, that's 1 year versus 16. You're entitled to your delusions but the facts speak for themselves.

    That's okay. I don't expect those who voted for the Comb Over Con Artist to actually admit that he's the worst thing to happen to the Presidency since James Buchanan.

    First off, the only poll that is 100% accurate is the one held on election day; that being said, if this poll is accurate, it show's less then half the people think he's doing his job. If you are an employer and your employee is only doing his job less then half the time, would you fire him/her and replace them???

    You are leaving out the fact that Trump's coverage in the media is overwhelmingly negative and despite that Trump's numbers are rising. Using your employer analogy it would be like an employee with a manager that hated him reporting nothing but bad stuff about him to the boss. The boss however knows the manager hates him so takes it all with a grain of salt and keeps the employee and even gives him a raise for putting up with a hostile manager. Soon he even considers firing the manager.

    Perhaps it has slipped your notice, but there's a few good reasons for the tone of coverage of Don. His pathological lying, his constant, vulgar attack mode, his bombast, his ignorance, his manic tweets, and his historic unpopularity.

    Where do these CONServatives get their wacky ideas about Trump's approval ratings? Up nicely? Actually according to a most recent Gallup Disapproval/Approval have dipped slightly. At any rate both are, and have been pretty dismal throughout his first year in office. Face it Trumpbots, your guy is a failure as President, as much as you'd like think differently. Over half of those surveyed disapprove and a measly 38% approve of the job he's doing.

    Feel free to post the results of those "real unbiased polls". Please do the same for those that said "Hillary was going to win in a landslide". All the polls I recall had her winning by 2-4 points with a few having Trump win: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/president/

    Trump has launched a war on the media, a war he will ultimately lose as the press just has to report what he says and does. The lying by Trump is on display every single day, LOL. As for the Rasmussen poll, you guys need to know Trump has begun the post tax bill swoon. On Dec 15 Rasmussen had Trump at 40% approve / 57% disapprove. On Dec 28 it was 46% approve / 53% disapprove. He's dropped a point in a day and will likely continue to drop in the Rasmussen daily tracking poll. Personally I don't put a great deal of stock in Rasmussen, I prefer a compilation of polls (of which Rasmussen is included) which offers a clearer picture of Trump (37.7% approve / 56.2% disapprove) and these are the numbers the administration and the Republican party look at. They don't talk about it with the buffoon though, his ego is too fragile.

    https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/

    The buffoon can take comfort in Melania's approval rating, she is now at 54% approve, a rise of 17% since January. This number, while not bad, is still behind the previous first ladies (Obama, Bush Clinton) at this point of their husbands' first terms but at least she is outperforming her husband and is on an upward path........
