Gallup: Trump Approval Rating Ticks Up to New High of 46 Percent
National Review ^ | My 3,2019 | JOHN MCCORMACK

A new Gallup poll shows Donald Trump’s presidential job-approval rating hitting a new high of 46 percent. The survey was conducted from April 17 to April 30, almost entirely following the public release of the Mueller report on April 18. “The latest rating extends the upper limits of President Donald Trump’s narrow approval rating range by one percentage point, from his previous range of 35% to 45%,” Gallup notes.

7 Trump hit his previous high of 45 percent in Gallup three times during his presidency: following his inauguration in January 2017, after his June 2018 meeting with Kim Jong Un, and after Attorney General Bill Barr released his letter summarizing the Mueller report in March 2019.

That 45-50% range is all they can stomach acknowledging for Trump. What is remarkable is how steady it remains despite the near constant attacks and backstabbing Trump has endured.

How can this be?? With so much negative “news” being reported about Trump, how can he have such a good rating?

I’m sure this poll is dead on balls accurate.

I think this is an adults poll. Could be wrong. If so, add 5-6.

If a “registered voters” poll, add 3-4.

It’s Gallup so his real approval is likely over 50%.

The only meaningful poll, if such can be had this far in advance, would tell us Trump's rating vis a vie a Democrat candidate such as Biden among likely voters in the battleground states.

‘On the other hand, Barack Obama’s job-approval rating was 44 percent in Gallup polling at the same point in his presidency (April 2011), and he still managed to find a way to win re-election in 2012.’

More FAKE NEWS. If they wanted to be accurate they would have said ‘EASILY win re-election...’.
