Donald Trump's Disapproval Rating Falls Six Points Over Three Months (Good News!)
Newsweek ^ | 10-01-2020 | James Wallace

President Donald Trump's net disapproval rating has slumped by six points since the end of July, but has remained steady over the past month as the coronavirus has continued to spread across the U.S.

According to the FiveThirtyEight presidential popularity tracker, 52.9 percent of Americans disapproved of Trump's record in office on average as of Wednesday, while 43.7 percent approved.

But back in the end of July, the president's disapproval rating was almost three points higher as 55.8 percent of U.S. adults told pollsters they were unhappy with the commander-in-chief.

If your DISAPPROVAL Ratings go down, isn't that good news?

It certainly is not good if your APPROVAL Ratings go down, right.

Look, we all know these fake polls are useless and worthless. Especially when some One Dollar outfit is reporting them. But I just found this headline amusing in its weak and futile to put a negative spin on our great President.

I’ve seen ad after ad on TV from Biden saying President Trump is going to deplete SS...Many older voters, such as myself, would love to see President Trump come right out and say he is NOT going to deplete SS or Medicare...

The 538 pollster, Nate Silver is the schmuck that totally embarrassed himself and his organization in 2016. He had Hillary up double digits the morning of the election if you can imagine that. Anything he says now is as valuable as my 3 year old nephew’s forecasts.

The 538 pollster, Nate Silver is the schmuck that totally embarrassed himself and his organization in 2016. He had Hillary up double digits the morning of the election if you can imagine that.

He had her up by double digits in the evening, too! Then he weaseled his way out of admitting their “forecasts” were 100% wrong when she ended up losing.

Years later, all the same worthless pollsters are hired by the same propagandist media and asked to do their thing AGAIN, and are AGAIN held up as experts giving us important information, in spite of the clear proof that they’re utterly unreliable.

In the small, commie minds of the media, 2016 just didn’t happen because they didn’t want it to, and they’re really, really important people. Just ask them.

‘”I’ve seen ad after ad on TV from Biden saying President Trump is going to deplete SS...Many older voters, such as myself, would love to see President Trump come right out and say he is NOT going to deplete SS or Medicare...”

For crying out loud, the RATS have been saying this for years and it never happens. Stop listening and watching Biden commercials, they’re all full of lies and bullshit. Take it to the bank SS and Medicare safe with Trump. Watch your SS and Medicare if Biden gets in after he starts including illegals.
