Trump's approval rating shoots up after week of North Korea escalation
AOL News ^ | August 11, 2017 | Christina Gregg

As tensions rise and explosive language flies between Trump and North Korea, the president has regained standing in his national approval rating.

According to the latest Rasmussen survey, 45 percent of Americans approve of President Trump -- the highest his rating has been in the same poll since July 12. His approval rating exactly one week ago stood at a staggeringly low 39 percent.

Where 62 percent of Americans say North Korea poses a "very serious threat" to the U.S., President Trump's blunt rhetoric -- including phrases like "locked and loaded" and "fire and fury" -- the commander in chief's active messaging on North Korea could be aiding his favorability rating with the general public....

And the more the Democrats, media and GOPe complain, the higher his numbers will go. Maxine Waters by herself is probably worth two points.

After a lukewarm Bush, and a queer no balls Obama, it is refreshing to see a real cowboy, a.k.a. (paw russki) ‘buckaroo’ in the White House, standing up for all Americans.

Why aren’t he 100 points ahead you might ask. Oh, he is. Well except for the phony polls that are constantly produced.

Hmmm. Just saw a liberal say all Trump supporters should have their throats slashed (at Yahoo).

Well, glad I’m in a concealed carry state.

I mention this because a few of the left remain unhinged like muslim terrorists. Stay alert, folks.

The polls for that election were the most ridiculous I ever seen. The most hilarious was one on AOL that had Hillary at 90% meaning 90% of voters said they would vote for her LOL

It’s legal for car and person concealed carry here.

I’d like to have a better, lighter one but no money. And the one I wanted was on a great sale a couple of weeks ago.

What I have is pretty accurate. Plus a better one on backup but it’s full-sized.

The way liberals believe in and talk themselves into lies, I would be surprised if there are a few more isolated incidents. They are being fed trash constantly by Huff Po, CNN, etc.

When I go to Yahoo! for my email, you can see by their comments they are completely separated/disconnected from reality and truth. Well, 8 years of listing to the Lyin’ Kenyan only furthered the mental disorder called liberalism.

Hmmm. Maybe 90% of those that said they would did. But alas, she failed her supporters. She LOST BIGLY! Yeah, winning is for winners.

That’s two polls showing him at 45% now.

Add in the usual media bias, and that is very solid re-relection territory.

I don’t find the numbers surprising, I think it’s normal for most Americans to get behind a President in a situation like this.
