Rasmussen Reports’ latest poll shows that President Trump’s approval rating has increased over the last 24 hours despite the vicious attacks from the mainstream media.

From Rasmussen:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 55% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-five percent (45%) disapprove.

The latest figures include 38% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 36% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of +2. (see trends).

The media is treating Trump exactly like they treated the American people for 8 years - with contempt.

The media UNFAIRLY labeled whole segments of the American people as racist, bigot, homophobe, etc. if those very same people objected to any Obama policy.

The Media lied about the American people for 8 years. The American people assume they are lying about Trump.

The Trust is Gone!

I am getting the strong impression Trump is in the process of setting the left and the leftist courts up.

When the next terror attack happens... Trump will hang it around the necks of the left and leftist judges in particular, and then move decisively to fix the issue once and for all.

I can see it as clear as day how this is going to play out.

Somewhere, far from me, I swear I can hear the the distant wail of the staff at the Washington Post.

I’m not sure these attacks happen in a vacuum, I think they are loosely allowed to happen.

There may not be an attack.

President Trump would not balk at mentioning those low lifes by their first and last names and laying blame directly at their feet, on national tv, with 2 hours notice to first draw a crowd.

The Media Paradigm shift began on January 20th at 12:01 EST.

At that moment their role morphed into the destruction of President Trump and his Agenda to Make America Great Again.

Prior to that, their sole purpose was to help Obama succeed in his Fundamental Change of America.

Hopefully the Populace will continue to see what’s happening.

I opened the paper this morning, and it was just one story after another about how incompetent, disorganized, fractured, amateurish, etc etc etc trump supposedly is- There wasn’t one positive article or paragraph in there about him- they didn’t acknowledge anything He’s accomplished so far- and just concentrated on hyperbole and innuendo and inflammatory rhetoric

And it’s been this was since before he became president- so yeah- the press is definitely on a witch hunt- The papers almost NEVER did any of that to obama- Hardly Ever- Now they can’t allow president trump to have even a moment’s rest- they are simply constantly attacking and ripping- like a pack of hyenas

"despite because of the vicious attacks from the mainstream media"

They can't win.

After a landslide victory, you’d think they’d have some kind of clue...even a vague one.

If you measure the amount of negativism (which it is nowhere near the same level as in 2009 or 2010)....I kinda have my doubts that you can sustain this level with viewers or readers.

It’s dissolving opportunities for the Democrats in 2018. There are 628 days until the mid-term election. If I were a Democratic Senator from a Trump-win state and you get to around 400 days left and the press isn’t having much luck in taking down Trump....I’d start to get worried. You could be looking at ten Democratic Senator seats flipping.

They’ve only got one tool in their utility belt, so they keep banging with it harder and harder, expecting a better result.

Objective reporting is not on their shopping list, nor have they considered it.

The people know that the media is 100000 percent in the tank for the Democrat Party..the media/Dem party are ONE and the American people are SICK OF IT..where was this for the past 8 years when they NEVER asked Obama ONE QUESTION..only about NCAA brackets and how his family is doing..NEVER asked about him being “Flexible” with Russia..if the media is SO concerned about Russia how come they never asked him what he meant by that..how about the 20 mil Hillary Clinton gave Russia for Uranium..not a peep from this Russia concerned press

Exactly. I buy the Chicago Sun-Times daily, and every single story that mentions Pres. Trump and his administration is negative. There doesn’t seem to be even an attempt at appearing disinterested. It’s really obvious. Alas, a shocking number of American are oblivious.

Thank you: disinterested, yes.

We were supposed to have a disinterested press. Now we have very interested communists in the mainstream, traditional press, and very interested conservatives - or whatever - in the alternative press. (I realize that the latter is an unfortunately necessary reaction to the former.)

I think one of the few truly disinterested journalists out there may be Sharyl Atkisson.

I am not signed in to Twitter, but I check DJT’s tweets (without the replies)several times a day. I’m only interested in what _he_ says.

I began this a few days after the Inauguration. He was just below 20M followers. Today, he crossed over the 25M mark. I think Twitter’s throttling of his Tweets caused many who relied upon retweets to just follow him themselves.

I hope they never get a clue until it’s too late. They are driving the saner Dems to Trump.
