President Trump's job approval rating soars to 50%
Rasmussen reports ^ | April 17, 2017 | Staff

Posted on 04/17/2017 6:45:04 AM PDT by Sidebar Moderator

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.

This is the first time the president’s overall approval rating has been back in the 50s in nearly a month. Just after his inauguration, Trump’s job approval peaked at 59% and remained in the 50s every day until early March. It’s gone as low as 42% since then.

Yeah. It was a bad analogy. What I meant to say was that to make an omelet you’ve gotta break some eggs. And sometimes the cure hurts before it helps.

I’m not. There are just so many things that wouldn’t get a pass in previous administrations, possibly even Reagan’s, that seemed glossed over here. There’s always some justification.

This may or may not have been addressed in the comments, but the headline not only doesn’t match the source, but up 2% on a daily tracking poll is hardly “soaring.” In any other context, we would have called this a fake headline.

I’m not trying to start anything, but I put my big boy britches on this morning, so I’m good, lol.

Rasmussen had the race tight the entire month at the end.

Surprisingly, so did the New York Times' automated online EV map. Around 10-11 pm on Nov. 8, it showed Trump hovering just over 300.

"50%" APPROVAL !!!

Y'all can bet your red Trump caps that the approval rating is much higher than that.

Will the doors and desks in the newsrooms of CNN and PMSNBC be decked out in black bunting and wilting lilies tonight? Will Cuomo and Tapper and Andrea and Matthews have ashes on their foreheads? Will Chopin's Funeral March be played softly in the background on each show?

Actually, the only question necessary is "will the lefty anti-Trump channels report this very sad polling news AT ALL tonight?".

How ya bettin'?

I would believe it’s near almost 95-98%...

Americans can see what is happening, even with the fake news media, talking heads and radio show hosts are trying to make it different...

GO.PRESIDENT TRUMP.GO!!! MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

That could apply if this was all a game. It isn’t.

Hah - true - I meant Rasmussen had the race tight all of October and November (+-2/3 pts) and not just showing the race tighten in the last day or two like most of the major polls did.

Until your mention, never heard of it. So, sorry. No financial gain from them or anyone else for posting.

Lets' face it. Dropping bombs has generally given a president a spike in the polls. His moderation in his approach has possibly helped too.

If I recall correctly, Reagan did not get his first big bill through Congress until August 1981 (Economic Recovery Tax Act). It was around that same time that PATCO went on strike and Reagan fired them all (air traffic controllers).

I don't remember anything major happening prior to that, with the exception of course, of the assassination attempt.

Reuters has Trump at 48% approval, so Reuters is in line with Rasmussen.
