Trump Approval Inches Up, While Support for Impeachment Dips
Gallup ^ | 12/18/2019 | Justin McCarthy

Posted on 12/18/2019 7:47:51 AM PST by catnipman

45% approve of Trump's job performance, marking his third consecutive increase

Support for impeachment still contentious, but continues to dip, now at 46%

Congress enjoys one of its highest ratings of the Trump era, now at 27%

The president's ratings have increased six percentage points since the House of Representatives opened an impeachment inquiry against him in the fall.

The president's latest approval rating is from a Dec. 2-15 poll, conducted as the Democratic-controlled House held hearings on whether Trump should be impeached.

Congress is still viewed as lower than a bedbug and its less popular than the President! Go figure.

All the impeachment support is within 50 miles of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. I wonder about their sample geographic distribution.

Are they STILL sampling using landlines?

Oops. People are going to get even more aggravated with the hearings when they interrupt their Christmas celebrations.

“LOL, I love those under intended consequences the Dems never see coming.”

and yet, there is no way they could NOT have seen this coming, so it makes their motivation all the more puzzling ...

maybe it’s simply a desperate Hail Mary, or maybe the AOC faction is controlling the Dem party because Trump totally destroyed the Clinton Cabal, thereby leaving the Dem party totally hollowed out without a power center that has its hands on the control levers; in fact, i don’t even think there are any levers remaining in the Dem party, and it is completely adrift with the AOC inmates now running amuck while they burn the asylum to the ground ...

“Our people should walk out of the “House” and STOP giving this kangaroo Court legitimacy... might be the best way to defend our President. “

Nope. anyone who has watched these hearings, can see that the GOP has been powerfully persuasive in the various hearings, logging substantial quality TV time while expounding their brilliantly articulate exposure of the Dem charade ... that’s the main reason the polls have moved AGAINST the Dem and towards favoring President Trump ...

Lie to pollsters. Tell them you support the Green Party. Throw off their curve so bad that they lose all credibility and go broke.

I'm impressed with our guys. You're right - they're doing a first rate job here. Have you noticed that about half the democrats look like they're reading a scrip that someone else wrote for them?

What’s troubing?

that about 45 percent of the country will vote dem likely no matter what?

That dems are pushing the congress approval higher because of their HATRED of Trump?

That in REAL unbiased polls Trump is at 50 percent or above approval.

Dont be troubled :)

It may be a landslide across the board next year.

Barring a financial crash and dem cheating. The second one is kind of a given

You know what they are going to do now? All the way to the election they are going to call Trump an impeached President. That’s why they did this, just to tag him as one. They knew they had a hells chance of removing him, they just did this to tag him as impeached.

Years ago I took a course called Propaganda and Public Opinion. We looked at opinion polls in some detail. Regarding “MUST have over-sampled Dems as usual,” I figure that is unlikely as sampling tends to be done with land lines as cell phones are a less reliable source and I suspect harder to get numbers for. So many are fed up with junk calls they just hang up on cell calls they don’t know. Land lines tend to belong to an older more conservative demographic. Cell phones to the younger population. Also, a lot depends on exactly how the poll questions are worded. Pro Rep. polls will word their questions differently from pro Dem polls. Most polls have a projected error rate of 3 points above or below the actual numbers counted since the usual sample is from 1500 to 3000 responses. Below are several polls and articles from Fox, which favors President Trump.

Fox article on Gallup Poll (pro Rep.): https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-approval-impeachment-poll

Fox poll reported by USA Today: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2019/12/15/trump-trails-biden-sanders-warren-buttigieg-and-bloomberg-fox-poll/2656647001/

CNN compares results of Fox versus CNN poll results: https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/16/politics/fox-news-polling-trump-analysis/index.html

Newsweek looks at other’s results: https://www.newsweek.com/fox-news-host-stunned-fox-news-poll-showing-majority-support-trumps-impeachment-1477436

These were the first 4 articles listed when I asked Google for “fox poll on trump and impeachment”. It appears the Fox poll(s?) sampled about 1,000 people which has a 3 or 4 percent margin of error. If this holds for the 2020 election then Trump again might win with a minority of voter votes. Actual victory would then depend on who does a better job of winning the best Electoral College states. Hillary’s big mistake was not campaigning more in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania as she was advised to do by slob-of-the-people Michael Moore. He wrote the link below just before the 2016 election explaining why “Trump will Win.” His reason #5 is especially relevant. Granted many people voted for Trump to “shake up the system”. The question now is how many are happy about the results of that shake-up? How will they vote this time??? Inquiring minds want to know. ;-)

“That’s why they did this, just to tag him as one. They knew they had a hells chance of removing him, they just did this to tag him as impeached.”

And to those of us AMERICANS who LOVE him, it’s not going to matter one little bit. In fact, it just MIGHT fire up the Rep. base like we haven’t seen since Reagan’s Landslide!

He’s gaining votes every day while the ‘Rats keep doubling down on Full Frontal Communism.

Of this I have no doubt. :)

He’s already taking the black and (legal) hispanic voters from the Dems. MAGA!
