="Tony Stark, post: 4965029, member: 495092"]Because Rasmussen has started increasing Trumps poll numbers and now has him back at 50 % which raises his aggregate on RCP who do not weigh their polls Gallup,the oldest and single most respected pollster has Trump at 41. 538, which weighs their polls to not let a pollster like Rasmussen artificially bring up Trumps numbers also has Trump at 41. Trumps first term average on Gallup is still 40,the lowest in Gallups history for a first term president. Attached below is a chart of Gallup polling over time, from the Gallup website. Notice the recent uptick and progress off the 2017 low. Even though you interjected another poll in an apparent attempt to refute my point the recent Democratic impeachment activities are helping Trump, do you still consider me a liar? Gallup does not conduct Presidential approval polls as frequently in aggregate as compared to all the other pollsters combined. Therefore, the granularity of Gallup’s polls are less, making comparisons over short time frames more difficult. I expect another uptick of Trump’s approval rating on Gallup after the release of their next poll. Each pollster has different methodologies, making direct comparison difficult. However, the one constant is the overall anti-Trump biased media suppressing his approval poll numbers compared to what they would be if the media followed the historical principles of Journalism. For reference, compare news reporting and news interviews from, say, the Sixtes and now. [/QUOTE]
What is up is his disapproval ratings.They were around 50% around May and closer to 60 now. Trumps first term average is 5.5 points below Carter and 7 points below Ford,that cant be good
Approval/disapproval polls on Trump are worthless at this point. Call his crowd and his approval is through the roof, call a bunch of lefties and it's in the tank. What the polls don't show, never show, never will show and didn't show in 2016 is all the silent support which in the case of Trump is higher than what would be considered normal. Whistle past the graveyard all you like the fact remains, he shouldn't even be anywhere near in contention for another term, yet he is. Orange man bad doesn't get it done and the left doesn't have the courage of their convictions to get behind the gay guy,(some pun intended), and he's the only one with even a fighting chance to win in 2020.
He got fewer votes than Obama in 2008,Obama in 2012 and Hillery in 2016 all by millions.A fluke 78,000 vote EC win isnt a lot of silent support
Disagree.No president has won reelection with a first term average approval of less than 50,Trump is 40.No president has won reelection with a disapproval higher than approval.Trumps disapproval is 11 points higher than his approval.That has been the case since approval ratings started in the 1940s and wont change in 2020.
You are raising a different point, that the Senate can call Biden et al for a hearing. No one said they couldn't though you heard that. That is not the point of yours that I highlighted as incorrect. You stated and so did AAA that if Biden is shown to have done something wrong, it makes Trump's actions ok if he asked for quid pro quo. I said it is not. I am trying to stay on topic.
Okay, well, past/quote where I "stated" that and I will look at it and see what the context. If it was in the context of how we should not be singling out Trump for something that the dems are okay with under Biden, yeh, I probably said that and can repeat it as necessary.
