Presidents approval rating rises

[hislegacy]

The apparent spike in Trump's job approval comes after a flurry of positive economic data and the release of the redacted report from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, which did not find a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives trying to sway the 2016 election. It also did not reach a decision on whether to charge Trump with obstruction of justice

And for all those Obama fans- compare it to 46.9. At his second year.

You know, it kind of ruins the narrative when you post contradicting facts.

Just saying...

Indeed... Donald can't even bat .500 while the economy is good... What will his now-loyal followers say when it tanks?

I think it's more likely that Obama or some other liberal politician somewhere will take the heat for it.

It's not about the economy for them, it never was. No doubt they will just whine about how unseen sinister forces tanked the economy on purpose to discredit their chosen one.

Technically speaking people often say "Trump had the lowest ratings in his presidency" but his aren't actually the lowest. Even Obama has lower ratings at one point.

And the President is within 1.8% of the darling of the media at the same time in his presidency.

It will never tank! Just the Artist of the Deal never went bankrupt.

That's an interesting way to put it...

One can extract almost anything from such statistics!

 

[JacobKStarkey]

The context to the OP is that Trump is a bit higher than Reagan and Obama at this point in his presidency, while his economy is decent and the other two were fighting massive recessions.

I have prayed every night for Trump to get right with all of the American people, but he won't do it. For him, it is his way or everyone else hits the highway.

Which is troubling news for Donald, because at the same time in the "darling's" presidency, the economy, while showing slow growth, was still reeling from the previous recession.

Donald's surfing a wave of good economic numbers, and yet still can't get the level of love he demands.

Conversely, what will all the haters say when it doesn’t tank, but continues as it has.

The apparent spike in Trump's job approval

Spike? I distinctly remember another thread when Rasmussen had Trump above 50%, now there's an "apparent spike" to 49%. Assuming this is accurate, what happened to him in the mean time?

He rides the resulting wave that happened when he reversed most of the regulations and taxes of his predecessor.

Don’t have to worry about any love towards him, the hate is so deep and viral, kinda balances it out.

Until the press turns on their handlers

The "haters" <insert eye roll> might say something like "Despite that, Trump's popularity rating is still about the same as Ford's or Carter's at this point in his term". Assuming the "haters" <insert eye roll> know a bit about actual polling data, that is.
