Trump approval rating gets big bounce: It’s thanks to millennials and minorities

Despite wall to wall negative coverage from the press, President Trump’s approval ratings have risen over the last two weeks even among millennials.

According to a polling report by Quinnipiac University, Trump’s approval rating has enjoyed a slight bounce from 38 percent on Feb. 22 to 41 percent on Tuesday. Meanwhile, his disapproval rating dropped from 55 percent to 52 percent over the same period.

Among millennials, the change has been even more drastic. Trump’s approval rating was a dismal 21 percent, and his disapproval was 69 percent two weeks ago.

In the latest poll, however, his approval went up just 12 points to 33 percent, basically where he was on election day. His disapproval also dropped by nine points to 60 percent. Trump decreased the number of young voters who strongly disapproved of him from 59 to 54 percent and those who somewhat disapproved by nearly half.

While a majority still disapprove, it’s important to note that the tide of negative news is not destroying his presidency. In fact, opinions of him have started to change. He’s now about as popular as he was the day he was elected.

Also worth noting in the poll is that Trump’s approval among non-whites also increased by eight points and his disapproval dropped by double digits. Among non-college educated whites and white men, Trump has approval ratings at 60 and 58 percent, respectively.

The only area where Trump’s approval has dipped slightly is among female voters, especially white women.

Even the Fake Polls are not cooperating. Wonder how many times they had to run it to get this result?

Pray America woke

This is a lefty poll, which is usually WRONG!

And I don't believe polls at all; look what they were like during the election.

Oh come on, they say his approval was 21%? How did he win the election? It’s preposterous.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat. It is not a vehicle of information the 1st Amendment aims to protect.

Enabling, parent companies include: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner.

considering its quinnipiac, here’s the money quote, buried many paragraphs down:


While a majority still disapprove, it’s important to note that the tide of negative news is not destroying his presidency. In fact, opinions of him have started to change. He’s now about as popular as he was the day he was elected.

The polls were pretty good for the election. Most polls had him losing and he did lose the popular vote by two points.

We dodged a bullet this time with white women.

I CANT imagine what they don’t like about what he’s doing.

But then I can’t imagine ever understanding the opposite sex if I lived to 1000

Take my revatio hint, bang them into a stupor, and then tell them how to vote. Hell, my woman is just as smart as me. She loves to argue politics against me but vote... She votes the way I do.

**************************************************************
I’m a white woman, and a Trump supporter.
And the key to understanding women is the same as the key to getting along with us:
“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
AND (very very important to women): “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
If you husbands understand and do these two things, your wives will be very easy to get along with, because they’ll be happy. Happy wife, happy life. And miraculously, you will automatically start understanding them.
(I’m not forgetting the “wives, submit yourselves to your husband” part. Any woman will tell you that if her husband does the above, it is a pleasure to be submissive, because, after all, who can resist a sacrificial, Christlike love?)

The polls were for the popular vote and they were correct. Trump lost the popular vote by two points. It really is that simple.
