Trump approval ratings thread 1.1

[pbrower2a]

Hawaii navy blue? Is that a mistake?

Thank you. Correction made.

I would assume so since the disapprove map has it at 64 percent.

Looks like things are shifting about 10 points to the left and is what you wouldn't expect from 8-10 point generic D lead.

Moore winning really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, and I don't think his capacity to win in Alabama is anything new. He could've won earlier if he wanted.

I wonder if his ratings will take a hit as a result of his incompetence regarding the Hurricane Maria aftermath in Puerto Rico.

[pbrower2a]

I wonder if his ratings will take a hit as a result of his incompetence regarding the Hurricane Maria aftermath in Puerto Rico.

This is worse than Katrina, and we know what Hurricane Katrina did to the polling numbers for Dubya.

Lying, glory-seeking fool!

One can only hope. His handling of Maria has been an utter travesty and disgrace.

It's not worse than Katrina. Katrina killed nearly 2,000 people. The death toll here isn't at 100 yet.

The reported death toll* The morgues in the hospitals are full, and the deaths are not reported as caused directly by the storm, but by the complications that came after it because of the insufficient reaction from the administration.

I would assume Bush's numbers prior to that were higher than Trump's now, though. Also partisan loyalty probably wasn't quite as high then.

Dubya saw his approval ratings soar in the wake of 9/11. That's not a fair comparison for any President.

Half of the Americans do not know about Puerto Rico and honestly a large part considers them an economic burden

I highly doubt even a tiny fraction of Americans know about the economic situation In Puero Rico. If they do, they're well informed enough to know that Puerto Ricans are Americans citizens.

We help our fellow Americans, even if they're economic burdens. That's kind of the whole point. If a hurricane hit Mississippi, we're not going to say they shouldn't be helped because "they're an economic burden." That's just ludicrous. Puerto Ricans are Americans, that's all that matters.

Yes. But for once Daniel is right. Most americans and certainly republicans probably don't give two sh*ts about Puerto Rico.

Polling has shown that Americans are more likely to support aid for Puerto Rico when they know that Puerto Ricans were U.S. Citizens

That's not the point. Bush had further to fall because his approvals were higher. It shouldn't be assumed that Trump will lose the same number of points or the same percentage of points. A lot of the people who initially supported him who would have abandoned him over this already abandoned him over firing Comey or C'Ville. The die hards are most of what's left.

Except Trump's favorabilities (40%) are still higher than they were on election day (37.5%).

Being president is not entirely comparable to being a candidate though.

Will Vegas help or hurt his approvals?

[Inmate Trump]

Will Vegas help or hurt his approvals?

Probably help because (1) it distracts from Trump's Puerto Rico incompetence and utter failure, and (2) it's a national tragedy, his response wasn't horrible (at least so far, but you never know what he'll say about it tomorrow), and Americans tend to come together in tragedy.

I actually think it’ll sink the approvals. It’s obvious that he isn’t going to do anything about it and once all of the “thoughts and prayers” posts and tweets are posted, the media is going to start criticizing the GOP and Trump on their records. Remember that trump did sign an EO in his first week in office to ease restrictions for purchasing firearms for the mentally ill and the GOP has a bill similar to this on the floor now.
