Trump approval ratings thread 1.1

[JA]

Also, deporting illegal immigrants and banning Muslims are more important to Trump supporters than cutting taxes.

Color me surprised...

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

CBS/YouGov poll of adults:

I am a strong Trump supporter, period - 19%
I am a Trump supporter, but to keep my support, he has to deliver what I want - 22%
I am against Trump now, but could reconsider him if he does a good job - 19%
I am strongly against Trump, period - 40%

Not exactly an approval poll, but if you grouped the people who say they support him and those who are against him, it's 41/59.

Also, deporting illegal immigrants and banning Muslims are more important to Trump supporters than cutting taxes.

And job creation is vastly more important to Trump supporters than either of those issues...

Well, specifically, "bringing back jobs to the U.S.". It's not that rosy to me in that context.

How low has a president gone and still recovered with no consequences? There was Truman, right? Even he lost Congress and only ran once.

Here's the answer according to Nate Silver:

Say what you will about Trump, but I think his "win" will go down in history as one of the biggest upsets, along with Truman (though not as impressive as Truman's).

Well, I think it'll still be second to Truman's if only because of the reality that Trump pulled an inside straight with the electoral college but still lost the popular vote by almost 3 million. But yeah, it was perhaps the greatest upset since Truman, and possibly worse. I think we should have all been expecting there was something going on when Hillary's last couple rounds of the campaign we're in Philadelphia and Detroit.

His approval-disapproval is underwater in Mississippi??!?

[pbrower2a]

What has he done for those low-income, low-information voters that he gulled in November?

At least using 538's model.

True, but those same voters will happily back him in 2020.

It's funny how this doesn't take into account a real poll out of Utah.

It should be 1.1, NOT 2.0.

Harvard-Harris poll (change from March):

Approve 45% (-4)
Disapprove 55% (+4)

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

It should be 1.1, NOT 2.0.

[pbrower2a]

Yes -- 1.1.

There has been no major event to change the core reality. There has been no start of any process of impeachment. There is no medical crisis. The 2018 election is agonizingly far away.

[Sorenroy]

It should be 1.1, NOT 2.0.

All of this is even before he came out with that miserable budget today.

What happens when his budget passes and people lose disability benefits like SSDI? People won't be too happy when this happens.

His budget isn't passing so it won't hurt him. It's the traditional hyper-ideological budget that gets voted down 99-1 in the Senate. They'll pass a budget with much bigger deficits to finance all the programs that protect Congress's priorities.

To be fair, I wish Trump had just gone after SS and Medicare and SNAP benefits instead of snipping at everything else but olds have a constituency, unfortunately.

SNAP has an attraction to food merchants. First, it greatly reduces shoplifting. Second, it lets food merchants make money of sales of food.

Count on this: Wal*Mart, the biggest beneficiary of revenue from SNAP. will find a way to save SNAP.

SNAP is also a huge subsidy to farmers, so as soon as someone shows Trump his county map again, he'll go back on his plans to cut it.
