We've seen some interesting polling numbers over the past week.
First, there was the congressional Democrats polling at their lowest number ever in a Quinnipiac poll, at 18 percent approval. As a CNN data nerd termed it, that's "lower than the Dead Sea." Then they made things worse by deciding to scuttle the DNC autopsy report they had been working on as to why they lost in 2024, making it clear they wanted to keep their heads in the sand.
Now, the approval numbers have jumped up again for President Donald Trump, according to a new InsiderAdvantage poll.
The poll of likely voters shows 50 percent approve of the job Trump is doing, while 41 percent disapprove, with the remaining 9 percent undecided. That jumped back up from 44 percent approval in November.
This came, not coincidentally, after Trump's speech to the nation on Dec. 17, about some of the administration's achievements, including many of the positive things that they were doing for the economy. This was also after the most recent CPI inflation report, according to InsiderAdvantage pollster Matt Towery. The inflation numbers were good.
The improvement came from numerous demographics — including and most importantly independent voters. His support among younger voters rose, as did his support among female voters,” Towery went on. [....]
The InsiderAdvantage poll surveyed 800 likely voters by a combination of cellphone calls and text messages Dec. 19-20, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
That's good to hear, especially in those demographics.
InsiderAdvantage was among the most accurate pollsters in the 2024 election, especially in measuring Trump’s support — making it more reliable than liberal media polls that routinely had him stuck in the 40s. The Real Clear Politics polling average has him at 44 percent approval, with wide swings among the polls. Even the Morning Consult poll, which is generally one of the worst ones for Republicans, has him at 45 percent approval. Not to mention, Trump's numbers are far higher than the congressional Dems' 18 percent.
But I think there are a few things you can glean from that. It's important to highlight the achievements, particularly when it comes to the economy, which is always going to be the number one issue. We're starting to see the positive effects. The border is secure. Inflation is coming down. Gas prices have dropped to a national average of $2.79 as we go into Christmas, and their lowest numbers in years.
Well, I just don’t understand this at all. You’d think a party that lionizes criminals, foreigners, terrorists, and racists would be quite popular with The American Public?
It’s almost as if there was a conspiracy afoot to make democrats look bad, probably perpetrated by that lousy corporate media.
We all saw how the democrats lied about Biden, how they panicked when it was clearly shown to us thru the debate how they LIEd, then they put Kamala in his place after NOT allowing free and open primaries, including kicking out a Kennedy as any hope to run on the democrat side, and NOW they just want everyone to forget the massive coverup and trust them?
Donks are now lower than my recently pumped out cesspool. Smells about the same, too.
making it clear they wanted to keep their heads in the sand.
No, I think the report was so embarrassing, they chose to can it.
“What the Republicans in Congress need to do is to take action to get more results.
Ha!
Maybe they’ll just melt altogether, like the wicked witch, and the world will be joyfully rid of them.
RE: You’d think a party that lionizes criminals, foreigners, terrorists, and racists would be quite popular with The American Public?
Which individuals among the public are they polling?
These are the only possible responses:
1. Trump approval up, Dems approval up
2. Trump approval up, Dems approval down
3. Trump approval down, Dems approval up
4. Trump approval down, Dems approval down
As of today looking like either #2 or #4 depending on who is doing the polling. You won’t find any polling where Dems approvals are up.
Polls do not vote.
Get out the vote ground games rack up the voters and win.
The team cannot expect to throw a bomb for a touchdown on every play. The game is won in the trenches.
RE: Polls do not vote.
Well obviously. But it gives a snapshot of how people feel about their elected leaders at THAT POINT in time.
Apparently they should be celebrating. Per John Solomon on with Bannon this morning, Trump’s preparing a massive housing bill as hasn’t been seen since the GI bill 90 years ago.
That confirms what Trump had told a pollster/advisor in the last month about not wanting to let housing prices drop.
That confirms that claims of true mass deportations are still a feint—and that Trump’s again channeling his inner Nixon.
That confirms that upcoming generations are still screwed, since without the mass deportations the beat-down worker wages can only craw upward with inflation.
Impressive prescience.
How about reading the rest of my post, pal?
I read it, Buddy.
Then smarten up!
Not me. You’re the smart one.
Then listen up, chum!
I’m listening, Dude.
So it must be your processing that is broken.
I have back problems and my knee is acting up, but my processor is fine.
