As we begin President Donald Trump's second year in office, the president's approval ratings are at the lowest level for any modern president at this point in his first term at just 39 percent.
But that's only half the story.

That's when the news gets better for the president, a lot better. The latest poll of polls by the Huffington Post has Schumer's approval rating at a measly 26 percent, 13 points lower than President Trump. The same poll of polls has Pelosi's approval rating just a hair better at just under 29 percent. Perhaps the only other Democrat who came close to holding the floor on the shutdown as often as Schumer and Pelosi did was Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, who holds an anemic 37 percent approval rating of his own. With enemies like these, who needs friends?

The second factor just coming to the surface is the better-than-expected early positive effect from the tax reform law. The congressional Republicans are already starting to poll better on the shoulders of all the news of bonuses, raises and increased corporate investments in America. This is all happening before the lower tax withholding rates take effect in February and millions of Americans will potentially see a noticeable increase in their paychecks.

Old Media should look at their own approval numbers which do tell the whole story.
Trump has lost a lot of support among sh__hole peoples.
I have been breathlessly awaiting the HuffPost poll. I don’t care what it shows it is total BS. I don’t even consider polls anymore. The only reason HuffPost would ever show anything positive is to set up the next fake planned “hit” poll.
Indeed so much for their usefulness kind of like the media.
Talked to a couple of People over the weekend I used to work with.
Didn’t want to get into Politics with them, but from what I picked up from a few comments made is they don’t like POTUS Trump’s personality.
There was no mention of what he is accomplishing, which is what the Liberal Media intends to keep from the People, and they are doing a better job of it than we can imagine.
Apparently People like a smooth talking (in their Opinion) Marxist wannabe who preaches a Constitution of Negative Rights to a plain spoken (in my Opinion) Capitalist Bronx Builder who offends their sensibilities while talking Common Sense and love for God and Country.
Actually, the national polls were correct. They showed Hillary winning by a point or two and she did. I realize the state polls were not as good, but the national polls were spot on.
As beloved as Obama was by blacks, for some reason, they did not show up at either of his mid term elections.
As we have come to understand, somewhere lies the truth and it damn sure ain’t in the old media.
That was my point. Republicans need to motivate the MAGA voter to show up
Blacks showed up to vote for the “black” (Oreo) Obama never care to even try to get them to show up for anything else
Interesting article as far as it goes. What is really important though is how well Trump is rated outside of the noncompetitive states. California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, etc. really are not important. He needs to worry about states that he carried and also about possible pickups like Minnesota, New Mexico, Nevada, New Hampshire, etc.
I consider Trump’s numbers good, since they’re probably sampling members of the press.
I would say Trump's approval rating is several points higher than what he polled the night of his historic victory. As he has not lost any supporters and has picked up millions more.
46.1% + 3-5 points puts him from 49.1 to 51.1%. That is probably the true number.
A similarly successful indoctrination was inflicted on the public re gay marriage and southern culture and history.
The average poll recipient, when taking a call that interrupts their viewing of Dancing With The Stars or the Hallmark Channel, simply repeat what they've been hearing.
It's even easier for them to respond "properly" to a push-poll.
It’s at 39% because they oversample democrap. They are counting DACA voters before they get amnesty, and thinking there is a democrap majority in America.
I like your numbers !!!
