The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-eight percent (48%) disapprove.
The latest figures include 36% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 40% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -4. (see trends).
And undoubtedly, those numbers Trump has with Rasmussen are probably that good deal better than Obama’s at this point (a couple of weeks or so since the first midterms) in 2010.
Rasmussen had Republicans +1 on the generic ballot for the midterms. I suspect Trump is not polling as high as 51% approval. I would guess high 40’s.
It’s too bad the numbers taken during election day showed Trump at 44 percent and, thus, the loss of the House. Ras needs to adjust his methodology to reflect what is really going on in the electorate. His numbers continue to be to high.
I know I am probably about to get flamed for this post but there is just no way, Trump can be at 51 percent and lose the house especially when he made the election about him.
I think that Trump will hit the mid-50’s in approval soon. This is driving the dems even crazier. They had to come out with a fake poll to cite instead of this one.
hussein lost a ton of seats at his first mid term and his approval, according to the media, was very high.
President Trump lost many fewer seats than hussein did.
Major house losses occurred in gerrymandered areas or California. Not to mention it is virtually guaranteed that there was massive fraud in California, with entire Republican areas getting swamped not on election day, but after election day as votes kept getting counted.
Is it too early to say it???
“If the election was held today...”
Trump campaigned for keeping control of the Senate. there’s only so much one man can do while carrying out his duties as President.
Trump was not on the mid-term ballots for the House. boring, mostly ineffectual RINOS were, quite a few of them anti-Trump.
Nov 2019 will be the test of Trump’s popularity.
You’re both assuming things very probably contrary to fact:
1) That those who tell Rasmussen that they approve of Trump will invariably vote for a Republican House member (and you’re ignoring how the person may have voted for Senator, governor, etc.)
2) That how a voter voted is how their vote was actually tabulated (i.e, you’re not accounting for fraud); and
3) That all those polled by Rasmussen actually voted.
Because of those flaws, your observations come no where near proving there’s any problem with Rasmussen’s methodology.
We wouldn’t have lost the House if this were true. It’s probably more like 41% approval.
So much voter fraud, including millions of illegals voting, that it’s hard to say what the real numbers are.
Re: Rasmussen - 40% Strongly Disapprove Trump
According to the NEP, which conducts national exit polls for all the major USA news corporations, 40% of 2018 midterm voters want to impeach Trump!
Him... no answer, nor rebuttal to your well-written (with links!) replies.
Looks like a noob troll account.
Viking kitties?
“We wouldn’t have lost the House if this were true. It’s probably more like 41% approval.”
You’re believing that we DID lose the House legitimally, and that the election was fair and honest — which elections never are when Rats are in the mix.
The polling that occurred on election day showed only 44 percent of the voters approved of Trump. If he was so popular as Ras suggests, then the GOP would never have lost the house. He only won Senate seats in states where he is popular. Case in point will be upcoming Miss. election.
If you want to keep on believing Ras, have at it. I am not falling for it.
Based on the ecomonic situation and the lack of true wars, I think Trump has a good chance to get his popularity and chances of winning the next election up. But he still has work to do including acting more professionally.
I don’t think a troll, I think just an honest assessment that would have some merit in an honest-election world.
You mean act like a Country Club republican while the barbarians & communists are crashing the gates?
Thanks...but NO THANKS!
America needs a street fighter like Trump to save our Constitutional Republic!
