(CNN)President Donald Trump claimed Friday that his approval ratings at this point in his presidency rival those of Barack Obama, citing a report from "Fox & Friends."
"While the Fake News loves to talk about my so-called low approval rating, @foxandfriends just showed that my rating on Dec. 28, 2017, was approximately the same as President Obama on Dec. 28, 2009, which was 47%...and this despite massive negative Trump coverage & Russia hoax!" he tweeted.

But the truth, across almost every reputable poll, is that Trump's approval ratings have lagged behind those of nearly all of his predecessors, including Obama, since day one of his presidency.

“CNN Polling Director” = Goebbels secretary.
I don’t care if Democats like Trump. Democats ae a blight on humanity.......
The President loves to pull their chain....and it’s so easy.
Rasmussen has Trump finally catching up with Obama’s rating by year’s end. That’s remarkable actually.
Especially since he has had a year of negative coverage, investigation, round the clock attacks, and former presidents and candidates (including the Bushes) attacking regularly.
Would Hussein have held up to that? No way.
CNN? lol like I would listen to Fake News Central
Hahaha. cNN is Fake News!
Fox and Trump were quoting the Rasmussen poll.
Dear CNN,
DJT is still our president, not HilLIARy
smile smile smile
HE IS JUST STARTING.
Give him time and he will eat into the Black Vote, the Hispanic Vote and every OTHER voting block normally dedicated to the DemocRats.
Look at the change in support over the year.
George W. rose after the 9/11 attack and stayed high.
JFK rose over the year of media adoration
George HW Bush also rose over the year
Nixon rose
Clinton broke even
Ike fell
Obama fell
Carter fell
President Trump fell
Even Reagan fell
What does this mean? As far as I can tell, nothing.
If polls matter, Hillary would be hurling ashtrays and lamps in the Oval Office.
I guess the Commie News network would sooner rely on their agenda driven Polling rather than Rasmussen which is non media generated and does a three day rolling average for last few Presidencies...course if i gave a rip what CNN had to say about anything I would turn it on but I don’t
How about a separate sidebar topic called Fake News or Enemedia as a place to dump all the bullsh!t from CNN, WaPo, Slimes, et al ?
As it is, seeing their propaganda interspersed among a page of actual news is akin to a bad fart in a good restaurant.
And for those still suffering under the delusion that the following graphic is mere hyperbole, seeing the enemedia sewage collected in one cesspool might just disabuse them of said naivete.

I think what this poll shows is after a good final few weeks of the year and tax cut legistlation, Trump ended the year about where he started it. Despite the non stop 24/7 assault.
And at the end of the day, we really can't compare the two. Obama's approval is primarily based on the color of his skin.
When people were polled about their approval of Obama, many, many were terribly afraid of being labeled "racist" so they told the pollster what they wanted to hear. "Yeah, yeah, the first Negro president is totally awesome."
Pollsters will tell you this, and it is a difficult phenomena to avoid when conducting phone polls. It actually has a name: The Wilder Effect. Sometimes it goes by then name "The Bradley Effect".
If the media had given Trump the same coverage they gave Obama, CNN could spend all their time worrying when Trump was going to be coronated King for Life.
I’ve never been called even once.
I wonder if they actually call.
But his programs and policies have buried Obama the evil one.
