The Official Trump 1.0 Approval Ratings Thread

[Middle-aged Europe]

Regarding the missile strikes... he could lose part of his own base, while becoming more popular with people who haven't traditionally supported him.

I'm not sure which of the two will have a more significant impact though. Maybe the latter in the short run, and the former in the long run?

Gallup

Approve 40% (+-0%)
Disapprove 54% (+-0%)

Approve 40% (+-0%)

So his attempt to improve his numbers by bombing Syria failed.

Since two-thirds of that poll were conducted before the missile strikes occured we don't know that yet.

We'll know more on Monday.

I'm not so sure. The day that rolled off the average was a relatively decent day for him. But we'll have to wait and see how the next few days roll out.

If that's the case, maybe he hasn't changed the game but simply gave those 41-43%er a reason to support him this week?

[Middle-aged Europe]

Gallup

Aprove  40% (+-0)
Disapprove 54% (+-0)

Same numbers from Gallup for the third day in a row.

So according to Gallup, the strike was a zero sum event for his approvals. Too bad for him.

I wonder if Trump's numbers are stable (for now) because is neither gaining nor losing any of his supporters, or if he's losing the same number of supporters as he is gaining.  Maybe we'll receive a hint when we see some crosstabs.

Although it's too early to tell, I think people don't want to say that they approve of him because of his past actions/comments that still weigh him down despite the fact that they may approve of the airstrike.

Hopefully, we'll see detailed information on ~ what % of people approve of the airstrike.

The day after Seal Team 6 whacked Osama bin Laden, approvals for President Obama went up a few points. Obviously that was more decisive, and the President was Obama ... Donald Trump is definitely not Barack Obama.

If there are any positive results for polling of President Trump they will come out slowly because he doesn't engender as much trust as President Obama did.

We need to make sure that we have at least five days in which to determine whether President Trump has made a significant gain in polling numbers.  That means the same pollster with the same screen. People take a little time in which to react.

Self-described "independents" have no real political convictions and should be barred from the political process, imo. They just sway wildly back and forth like saplings and are solely responsible for all of the rash, awful decisions made in this country and the unstable political climate that leads to nothing getting done, thanks to their low-info behavior. If we're going to make it harder for anybody to vote, then please let it be these people who feel the wrath.

You're serious?

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Also in the CBS number, 57% support Syrian strike

Do they have a party id breakdown of that? It seems like an issue dividing both democrats and republicans.

These are numbers with which he can conceivably win reelection, and all it took was bombing a foreign country.

Rasmussen:

Approve 44% (-1)
Disapprove 56% (+1)

Maybe just noise? Regardless, it's important to remember how dangerously short the attention span of the American electorate is.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Gallup

Approve 40% (+-0)

Nothing important happening here.

True. An air strike might make him more popular short term (unfortunately) but things like Trumpcare are baked in. It was the same for Obama.

ABC / WaPo also conducted a poll on the Syrian bombing:

That's interesting to me. It probably doesn't hurt Trump much (but neither does it help him).

[Crumpets]

Wow, an outright majority support regime change in Syria? I guess the Iraq War really is history.
