The Official Trump 1.0 Approval Ratings Thread

[Dr. Arch]

So, when can we expect Trump's approvals to reach Bush '08 levels?

3 months

At this rate, the GOP will be destroyed in 2018.

[The Other Castro]

This chart though.

Guys, I think we are reacting too quickly. The Trump Cult has been boxed in to support their man. That probably has him with a floor of 40% until their misgivings break the dam and he flounders. But for a while, he will probably stay at 40-45% for approval ratings.

Rasmussen is on some serious weed, though. But in general his approval ratings are all over the place. There's no convergence per se, yet, so it's early to say.

It's not his core Trump has to worry about. It's the more moderate 5-10% of voters who moved to Trump at the last minute.

I don't like how people always are in before I have a chance to say something witty along these lines. Damn you!

Yeah, his cultists are actually a very small portion of the electorate. More like the 30% that he had during Pussygate.

80-90 million people seems a bit too high for the word 'cult' to apply.

Just lol at this board. Finally get something to cling to after your catastrophe that was the 2016 election.

You think you have him beat when he literally has 4 more years of being your president, AT LEAST.

It's just comical. It's like you guys NEVER stop thinking about elections, even after getting your hearts ripped out in the last 2 election cycles.

give it a damn rest and focus on policy, you (insult redacted and reported)

Republicans practically own policy... with a severe bumbler offending the sensibilities of a majority of Americans, so count on resistance when things go wrong. Besides, for most of us, our exercise in politics gets reduced to elections. Yes, we are stuck with Donald t5rump and a crushing GOP majority in both houses of Congress for at least two years.

What sample does Gallup use? I guess it's the standard media D+10-15 sample that worked so well for Hillary :-D

I suppose it did, given that national polls were spot on the popular vote results.

Of course because America is D+ 10-15 and the national polls were correct.

[Dr. Arch]

Rasmussen
Jan 25 – Jan 29
1,500 Likely Voters

53% approve   47% disapprove   

So even Ras is going the other way.

[Crumpets]

Gallup - 43% Approve, 50% Disapprove

A net improvement from -9 to -7.

[Tender Branson]

Both Gallup and Rasmussen seem to converge more and more to show a polarized electorate.

Soon, Trump will be roughly 50-50 ... (or he already is).

Funny that you're still lying :-D The last popular vote polls were appr. D+5 samples, not D+10-15. But I know, reality and Facts are hard for Leftists ;-)

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove.

And the crashing continues.

How often do approval rating polls get updated?

How often do approval rating polls get updated?

It depends on the poll, but tracking polls like Rasmussen and Gallup usually update daily.

PPP had a poll on Milwaukee County. Needless to say it is extremely hostile to Donald Trump and his loyal partner Governor Scott Walker.  I am excited at the prospect of seeing a poll from a state that our dicta... excuse me, President,  won.

It's worth noting that the poll in question has Trump actually doing better there than he did in the election.

Also, anyone have the new Gallup number?

Not yet, but I've been hearing it's not good.

[Gass3268]

New Jersey (Quinnipiac):

Approve 36%
Disapprove 55%

Also lol Chris Christie:

Approve 17%
Disapprove 78%

Looks like Governor Fatass is finished politically unless Trump saves him.

It's also a rather elderly sample, with 68% of the people polled over 46.

As a national concern, the big question in Wisconsin will be whether the Governor will get re-elected. He's obviously going to get little help in Milwaukee County.  Should a Democrat win the Governorship in Wisconsin, then Wisconsin will be a very tough hold for the  President.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Gallup same as yesterday 43/50

[Tender Branson]

Trump's approval is 36-55 in NJ, not 26-55 as someone posted above.
