Quinnipiac

Trump approval  44/46
Optimistic/Pessimistic on a Trump presidency  59/37
Trump should stop using twitter   35/59
Trump better president than Obama 41/40

[Mr. Morden]

Trump approval  44/46

Favorability, not approval.

[Mr. Morden]

The gender gap in that Quinnipiac poll is about the same as it was in the election exit poll.

men
favorable 50%
unfavorable 39%

women
favorable 39%
unfavorable 53%

Also, fav/unfav %:
Pence 42/31% for +11%
Melania Trump 34/23% for +11%

[Mr. Morden]

This isn’t favorability exactly, but Pew’s poll has some numbers on Trump:

http://www.people-press.org/2016/11/21/low-marks-for-major-players-in-2016-election-including-the-winner/









13% of Trump’s own voters are “uneasy” about Trump’s election, while 5% are “scared”:





Voters were mostly dissatisfied with their choices for the first time since this poll was asked:

I want to meet the 5% who are scared of Trump yet vOted for him.

Do numbers usually keep going up or do they stabilize?

What are his approval ratings broken down by electoral votes?

     Getting small subsets to say weird things is common in polls. I remember a poll once where 9% of atheists said that the law should be based on the Bible.

Based on this

http://www.cnn.com/election/results/exit-polls/national/president

it seems only 2% of those who were scared of a Trump victory voted Trump.  BTW 1% of those scared of Clinton victory voted Clinton.

Just because you disagree with the reasoning doesn't mean you can't appreciate the result. For instance, kashrut (kosher) makes excellent sense as a dietary regime, especially for a pre-pathology culture. Pork may be tasty, but it does tend to be one of our less safe meats to eat because we share a number of mutual parasites.

As for that poll, the 5% were probably more scared of Clinton than Trump.

New Quinnipiac poll is terrible for Trump's agenda:

Despite Donald Trump's victory, American voters are at odds with the president-elect on several key issues, agreeing with the U.S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision 67 - 30 percent and opposing a wall along the Mexican border 55 - 42 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today. 

In fact, support for illegal immigrants being allowed to stay in the U.S., with a path to citizenship, 60 percent, is higher than in any survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe- ack) University Poll since the question was first asked four years ago. Today, another 12 percent of American voters say illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay, but not become citizens and 25 percent say they should be deported

American voters oppose other possible Trump initiatives:
67 - 29 percent against lowering taxes on the wealthy;
48 - 38 percent against removing regulations on businesses and corporations;
57 - 38 percent against making it easier for people to carry guns;
60 - 32 percent against "reducing taxes across the board even if it means increasing the deficit."

Highly suspicious of those Roe vs. Wade Numbers. I expect people simply don't understand what it is. Gallup's annual abortion poll found the pro-choice side ahead by a scant 1% this year, 47-46: http://www.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Apparently that means American voters want liberal policies to stay...LOL Trump.

What's to be suspicious of? The median position on abortion in this country is in favor of additional restrictions, but not a outright ban. Additional restrictions on second trimester abortions while leaving first trimester abortions as available as they currently are is what the polls have been showing what people want for some time now.

Didn’t the Trumpster say during the 60-minutes interview, that he doesn’t see the election outcome as a rejection of President Obama and his policies?

First Trimester ends after week 13, Roe protects abortion through the 20th week. So by that measure, Roe is to the political left of the country.

Hence Trump was elected.

Indeed.  Besides, Roe already got pulled back by Planned Parenthood v. Casey so at this point using it in a poll is just a shorthand for whether a person believes that abortion should be legal for some unspecified portion of a pregnancy, not any specific set of rules.

There's a long history of supporting GOP presidential candidates and GOP candidates without necessarily supporting their policies. Americans are weirdly schizophrenic like that. But the gap also means the Democrats remain competitive, and win votes based on that.

Still then the question is whether in general a girl needs the Sheriff's (or whether the sheriff will always be involved) permission to get an abortion, not a parent's or even a second "professional's" permission (or anyone's)

26% of Americans are out of their minds. Sad to see that Hillary number so high on the belief it was rigged. But lol at the 12% of Trump people thinking it was rigged. Must have been those 3 million illegals that voted .

It's not clear to me what people mean when they tell a pollster that they think the election was "rigged".  The way Trump was using the phrase during the campaign, he sometimes just meant that the media was biased against him, which is distinct from there being a conspiracy to not count the votes properly.  Someone who doesn't think the electoral college is fair might also say it was "rigged" in that sense--that the person who received the most votes didn't win.  Which again, is distinct from thinking that there was a conspiracy to tamper with the vote tallies.
