Gallup: Trump Has A Positive Approval Rating For First Time Ever
The Daily Caller ^ | February 20, 2020 | William Davis

Posted on 02/20/2020 8:07:31 PM PST by Mozilla

President Donald Trump is enjoying a positive approval rating for the first time since his inauguration, according to a poll released Thursday. 49% of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing, compared to 48% who disapprove of Trump’s performance, according to a Gallup poll published Thursday. The poll also found that the president is enjoying his highest approval ratings among Independents since taking office at 43%.

The poll suggests that the current state of the economy could help the president’s re-election efforts this Fall, finding that 61% of Americans believe the economy is getting better compared to 33% of Americans who believe the economy is getting worse. The poll also showed that more Americans are identifying as Republicans, with 32% identifying as members of Trump’s party, compared to 28% in Gallup’s prior two surveys.

Don’t think so. The drug culture happened outside of Vietnam and in many countries that weren’t involved in it. Goldwater’s election might have slowed the progress in the US, but even bailing out of the Vietnam War early wouldn’t have stopped it.

There are no real numbers. This is all based on a national sample, and is irrelevant.

I was in the US Navy at the time. Both heroin and marijuana were reported in use in VN. (As was “fragging”).

Given TS clearance, and admonition to shun blackmail- and kidnap-exposure, I was astonished to hear a colleague trumpet the “highs” of MJ!

I am for the endless beating (with wet pool noodles) of people who abuse their caps lock.

That and people that post the same vid three times in a row.

People can watch a short vid once, do not need it THRICE.

“Boldness” wasn’t a feature of President Johnson’s approach to VN.

“Bailing” wasn’t inevitable.

"If they start saying Trump is really winning in the polls it could suppress the vote people thinking they don’t need to vote because Trump has this!!! NEVER EVER trust these polls, vote as though we were losing BIG TIME!!!"

DO NOT trust these polls, EVER!!!!

And may I add: Try to avoid all polls. Don't trust 'em, just ignore them.

All they are generally created for is to FORM OPINION ..... not to MEASURE IT.

... all of a sudden orange man and his record stock market, record employment, and record wage increases are looking pretty darn good ...

President Trump has done, in 3 years, what politicians have been “promising” to do for the last 20-30 years. Really makes you wonder just what the hell have they been doing all this time....oh, that’s right, they have been making themselves rich with our money.

The comparison with the Hussein administration should be shocking to anyone to chooses to see it.

I have seen this said by several people - We should not have gone into Vietnam when we did, and we shouldn’t have left when we did either.

What we should have done is told the French to f**k off and suggested that they should give the land back to the natives as the French left them at the mercy of the Japanese.

Exactly. Rather than admit his popularity and broad appeal from coast to coast, the media decides to gin up yet another Russia BS story.

The real numbers are much higher.

Yes, the stars are aligning for a great result in November. But eight months is a long time in politics. Keeping DJT in my prayers.

The politicians of the past 30 years have been busy handing our economy and energy over to enemy foreign nations and fake energy companies....in return for enriching themselves with payoffs and stock market investments! Trump is the first leader to try to stop it before it’s too late. Sadly he can only put in 8 years...and THE ENEMy will do anything to stop that.

I’ll go with the standard over/under of adding 10 points in the positive direction to ANY poll they contrive about President Trump.

2020 Landslide, Ahead!

Suck it, Dems! :)
