Democrat Polling Data Shows Trump Approval High in Battleground States

RUSH: Now, this is a little story from TheHill.com. Let me share with you the headline: “Trump Wins 60% Approval in Rural Areas of Key States.” Now, I’m mentioning this to you because we have a fake news poll out there from the ABC News/Washington Post polling unit which says that Trump’s approval rating has plunged to 38%, and that 60% of the American people believe we’re on the way to a recession.

Now, that would mean… They’ll extrapolate that to say that Trump’s administration is cratering, the American people think he’s ruined the economy. If we’re heading into a recession, they’re gonna try to create the news story that the American people have soured and lost confidence in Trump. (laughing) We’re in the middle of one of the most robust economic rebounds ever! It puts the Obama eight years to literal shame, and what’s the Drive-By Media doing?

Creating fake news and fake polls about a phony, nonexistent, can’t-see-it-anywhere recession. Trying to convince people who are living improved lives of prosperity that it’s all phony, that there’s gonna be a recession. They’re gonna get fired. They’re gonna lose their savings. It’s all on the brink of being destroyed. So in light of that, here’s this story from TheHill.com:

“President Trump’s job approval rating in rural areas of the Rust Belt and Great Plains states is at 60%, markedly higher than his job approval rating nationally, according to a new poll commissioned by Democrats. A Change Research survey sponsored by The American Federation of Teachers and One Country, a group with close ties to former Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (North Dakota), found that 60% of voters from non-metro counties in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota,” these are blue states, folks, “Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and West Virginia” give Trump 60% approval numbers.

This is not insignificant. This is totally dazzling. This is the Trump base. The Trump base is expanding is what this is. “All of those states voted for Trump in 2016 with the exception of Colorado and Minnesota. Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin went red in the 2016 election for the first time in decades…” This stands in direct opposition to this fake news poll from ABC/Washington Post that Trump’s approval number is now 38%.

If you survey New York City and Chicago and Newark and Los Angeles and San Francisco, yeah, you could get those numbers, and they are random numbers. They’re not even likely numbers, likely voters. So I wanted to share that — and a reminder, that is Democrat polling data.

This is something that the media choose to ignore and ignorant Dimms cannot seem to grasp: we do not elect presidents via one election; we elect them by 51 elections. You have align your campaign strategies accordingly. It doesn’t matter if President Trump loses California and New York by 20 million votes; those are just two elections.

Why is this so hard?

Because the liberals do not like the electoral college. They think it’s unfair.

Is 60% approval for any Republican in rural areas really that unusual? I’m not so sure. Maybe someone has some hard data.

The cities are where the people live and, for reasons that escape me, they continue to vote against their own best interest by pushing the D button.

Pull five states from the numbers...Illinois, New York, Washington, Oregon, and California.

THEN tell me about his approval numbers.

OUR side needs to commission MORE polls..

How the questions are written and what order they’re in play a big part in results.

Liberals know that and use it to their advantage. We need to grow up and do the same...

They’re trying real hard. The TDS is so deep I wouldn’t put it past there being a Wall Street/ FED cabal actively trying to undermine the markets! Yes...that is right, I’m saying these people will voluntarily lose millions of dollars just because of Trump! That’s how bad it really is!

I'm not worried about Trump's approval numbers. I know the MSM is lying to us about that. I was just noting that the Republicans tend to win all of the rural areas IN THIS COUNTRY by some margin and 60% did not sound particularly unique to me. Throw out the cities and the GOP would win 60/40 in the popular vote.
