President Trump's approval rating rose 7 percentage points after the end of the recent 35-day partial government shutdown, a Gallup poll released early Wednesday showed.

Oops.
Rasmussen has him at 52%. Pundits at CNN and MSNBC will be jumping out of high rise windows pretty soon.
This can’t be. I was assured by the media, who would never lie to us, that the shutdown would imperil his presidency.
Fake news. up at least 17.
Since this came from Gallop, I would imagine it’s more like 15 points.
Since this came from Gallup, I would imagine it’s more like 15 points.
Trumps numbers among Independent voters is rising.

“Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted Feb. 1-10, 2019, with a random sample of 1,016 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. All reported margins of sampling error include computed design effects for weighting.
Each sample of national adults includes a minimum quota of 70% cellphone respondents and 30% landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas by time zone within region. Landline and cellular telephone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods.”
Adults, 18 and over.
They didn’t screen for citizenship, voter registration or likely voter.
Add 10 points for a likely voter screen.
POTUS is riding high right now.
Add another 7 to get to the real number.
Shut it down again.

Maybe the shutdown forced federal workers to look at jobs in the private sector and they found great dream jobs.
Forgotten white males in the Rust Belt were the key to DJTs election and will be again in 2020.

Frankly, the hate-FILLED, LOUD-mouthed, far left DIMocRATS have LOST the blue-collar working men & likely forever.
