New WSJ/NBC News poll finds President Trump’s job-approval rating at 47%, the highest mark of his time in office.

highest for that poll i guess they mean - which likely is lower than the real % of the people across USofA approval or Trump

[Leep]

Yep..interest in mid-terms is the reason./s

[central_va]

add 10%

[mplc51]

51% + 10 IN MOST POLLS.

FTA: The survey of 900 registered voters, including 645 likely voters, was conducted Oct. 14-17. The margin of error for registered voters is plus or minus 3.27 percentage points; for likely voters, plus or minus 3.86 percentage points.

A national poll which is meaningless WRT the house races. However, the trend regarding President Trump's approval is huge.

I voted early. You should too.

[Parley Baer]

IMHO this bodes well for the mid term elections.

[snarkytart]

He is most likely at 50%. Add a few percentage points. 900 registered voters is a small sample.

What’s the generic number in this poll fwiw. Can’t read the whole article.

[Billyv]

The Trump Modifier is to add 15% on the +side to any published poll about POTUS!

Best Election Ever! Midterms will add to the + side in both House and Senate!

Winning BIGLY! MAGA!

[jmaroneps37]

And remember Wrong Way Larry Sabato said you have to add ten points to Trump’s poll numbers.

[FtrPilot]

He is most likely at 50%.

I agree...one of the pollsters has had President Trump at 51% for the last couple of weeks.

Looking at the trend chart in the article, it shows that President Trump is peaking at the right time. Almost like he planned it.

Typical Trump overflow rally.

Joe Biden rally in LV yesterday---193 showed up.

Culinary workers are mostly illegal latinos-----they hoard those jobs for themselves.

[snarkytart]

That is what happens when you fight for something..ie KAVANAUGH.
GOP take notes.

Starting pay for dishwashers is now $17/hour plus full benefits in Wisconsin.

Nauseating.

[robel]

Taking into account his string of accomplishments that have benefited the country and the individual, who would disapprove but leftist democrats. And maybe a few clueless politically suicidal republicans?
