Trump at one year: Low job approval, but economy is good - CBS News poll
CBS "News" ^ | January 18, 2018 | By Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus, Kabir Khanna and Anthony Salvanto

A year after President Donald Trump was sworn into office, he continues to receive historically low and highly partisan approval ratings, despite widely positive views of the economy. He gets at least some credit for the economy, but most Americans don't feel they've personally benefitted from his policies – only 22 percent think they've been directly helped.

Americans overall are feeling upbeat about the economy and the President gets some credit for that. Sixty-seven percent say the economy is very or fair good – a figure that has been at the 60 percent level or higher since Mr. Trump became president. Even half of Democrats give him at least some credit.

But most Americans don't feel they have benefited directly from the president's policies. Feelings on this are largely driven by partisanship. Also, blacks and Hispanics are more likely than whites to say they have been hurt by his policies.

It's largely Democrats who have become more negative about the Trump presidency. Republicans are mostly positive about the president's first year: Eight in 10 Republicans approve of the job Donald Trump is doing and most are just as optimistic with him in office now as they were right before he was sworn in as president. Seven in 10 say he has been a very good or good president.

Low review count is not meaningful. I doubt Trump voters have change, nor many non-Trump voters. If any movement, it is to Trump. The polls measure nothing more than echo chamber of media volume of screaming about Trump. As he trolls them almost daily, their ire is constantly high.

I'd be worried if it quieted down as that would suggest less focus and the short memory of voters then becomes risk to Trump.

Trump supporters hang up on pollsters.
I also fear that they may fear voting, and I believe that the left will make a goal of it.

Real Poll: Most Americans give him a well deserved A and are thankful he is our President. The list of accomplishments are quite impressive.

Most liberal media don’t care about the opinion of the people. I personally like trolling USA Today when they do allow comments on about 25% of what they publish.

Low Job Approval....

MEDIA got their mission accomplished...
MEDIA lives in a Hussein/Hillary created World..maybe one day they will all wake up, and wonder why they trusted and believe those two idiots..

My two adult kids are both joyful with their IRA’S AND 401 Accounts..and that makes mom and dad happy here...
