President Trump holds a 52 percent approval rating in after his first month back in the Oval Office, polling shows.

A Harvard CAPS/Harris survey found that 33 percent strongly approved of the president’s job performance, and 19 percent somewhat approved. Roughly 43 percent disapproved, with most expressing strong disapproval, and another 5 percent were undecided.

Trump’s numbers differed starkly across party lines; about 9 in 10 Republicans approved of his handling, and nearly 8 in 10 Democrats disapproved. Independents were almost exactly split.

“This is a good start for Trump, though many of his policy initiatives are more popular [than] this,” Mark Penn, the co-director of the poll, said of Trump’s approval rating.

Given the unbelievable barrage of negative MSM attention and commentary, that rating is astonishing.

Sounds like Serpenthead, Little Jimmy Carwreck’s wet dream about the Trump administration collapsing isn’t working out.

Thankfully Carville is wrong most of the time. After Obama and the dems won in 08 he predicted 40 years of democrat rule.

It appears the reported 57% approval for Zelensky was conjured up real fast according to this:

“A couple days ago Trump claimed that Zelensky is widely unpopular in Ukraine and that his approval rating is 4%. The very next day the MSM collectively called Trump a liar and they all parroted the same number, Zelensky has a 57% approval rating. CNN brought out their little fact checker...57%. ABC, CBS...57%. So I look up where this number came from. It came from the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology. Guess when they released their poll results. The day after Trump made his claim.

I went to their website and it’s barely functional but there was a note about who USED TO FUND them. Check out the picture below. You are going to laugh. I also checked out another polling company that does work in Ukraine called SOCIS. They’ve done most of the exit polling on all the major elections in recent years in Ukraine and they have Zelensky at 16%, claiming that he would not win an election if there was one.

Think about this. We don’t even have an accurate number of the death toll in Ukraine from the war. No media outlet knows, it’s all a guess. We do know that tens of thousands of people have gotten caught trying to flee Ukraine. (It’s illegal for men ages 16-60 to leave.) But nobody has a clue what’s really going on there and yet a few hours after Trump says something the entire MSM ecosystem states as a fact what Zelensky’s approval rating is. 57%. Our media can’t even agree on what Trump’s approval rating is.

76% support closing the U.S. border
70% support merit-based hiring
61% support reciprocal tariffs

Same poll. See ya in 29 days, James...

It really is, given the relentless 24/7 pounding he is taking I expected mid to low 40’s. He seems to know he must use the bully pulpit to offset to Tsunami of negative spin on every thing he does. As POTUS he has the power to be equal time.

This is that “voters remorse”, I guess, Klobuchar and the ABC News lady were talking about.
