50 PERCENT: Trump Outpaces Obama In Approval Ratings
Daily Caller ^ | 9:40 AM 04/02/2018 | Saagar Enjeti

Posted on 04/02/2018 6:47:09 AM PDT by 11th_VA

President Donald Trump’s approval rating hit 50 percent in Rasmussen’s daily presidential tracking poll Monday, which puts him ahead of his predecessor at the same point in the presidency.

The last time Trump hit 50 percent in the Rasmussen tracking poll was February 27. At the time, he was generally within the 47-50 percent range. The President’s approval rating outpaces that of former President Barack Obama, who sat at 46 percent in Rasmussen’s tracking poll on April 2, 2010.

It went up because he signed it. The average American just wants to keep the spending party going. Screw the future.

Can't be true. Everyone hates Trump! Chris Matthews told me so!

I wonder when the congressional GOPe will start realizing that their political fortunes are hitched to Trump's wagon.

That makes sense. A lot of people may have seen that as Trump showing his willingness to cooperate with the other side.

I think more Americans are starting to realize that Trump is getting things accomplished and is pushing his promised agenda forward.

Unlike his predecessor who took us backwards and tried to convince us that the rotten economy and mass illegal immigration was the "new normal".

Americans don't want that kind of retrograde, weak leadership.

They want a strong president who is a stand-up leader. Trump is their man.

This is well nigh impossible.

Every living human being hates Trump.

Every animal hates Trump.

Every plant hates Trump.

Every insect hates Trump.

Every microbe hates Trump.

ABCNNBCBSNYTWAPO told us it is so.....................

Somehow I’m guessing the MSM won’t want to talk about this poll and any comparison to their beloved Obama at a similar point will be strictly verboten.

Can’t say with certainty that is the reason Trump’s approval went up. I’d say the meeting with Kim might be a factor too. Lots going on recently that could play in to the rise.

My personal opinion is that people have grown very tired of the continuous bashing of this President by the MSM. It is depressing to most people and it does not match what they observe with their own eyes - an improving economy, more jobs, tax relief, etc etc. I am always amused to hear some MSM pundit talk about how unpopular he is never mentioning that the favorability of the media is far lower.

Why does Drudge have to call positive Trump poll numbers a “shock”?

The lying porn star attack was destined to cause sympathy for the president.

And yet there may be no changes to election predictions, i.e. Toss ups, leans, tilts for 11/18.
