Trump approval rating

... Yes, and bear in-mind that Quinnipiac is a leftist polling outfit.

So, if THEY are showing Trump's HIGH approval rating - it's something!

Read the numbers again.

Approval numbers will go up when *gasp* a politician at least tries to do the things he campaigned on.

Or go down when some of those aren't popular or the implementation is heavy handed, misguided or people didn't expect it to affect them and it now affects them.

The tries part is kinda silly. Hasn't really tried to win on groceries. Just a pile of excuses and zero real plans to do it. Gonna chafe some folks.

CBS Poll: President Trump Approval

�� Approve: 53% (+6)
�� Disapprove: 47%

This is the highest approval rating for President Trump in CBS history. Either term.

Impressive wheb you compare him to himself. Hilarious when compared to his peers

While Trump is in a stronger position than at any point in his political career, his numbers still pale in comparison to those of his two Democratic predecessors at this point in their presidencies.

According to FiveThirtyEight averages, President Joe Biden had a 54% approval rating and 36% disapproval rating on Feb. 6, 2021. President Barack Obama had a 61% average approval rating and 26% average disapproval rating just weeks into his first term in February 2009.

Ahhh yes data sourced from 538, which uses an aggregate of pollsters that have missed left, by a significant margin the last several election cycles.

Coincidence I’m sure, but many of these same pollsters/media have been funded by (drumroll please) USAID. The conclusion is their results are misleading in order to keep the USAID gravy train rolling. IMO they are incentivized to produce certain results. Look no further than the 2024 election polls as evidence.

The significance of the CBS poll is it’s been one to overcompensate to left for election polls.

Knock over the dominos. They’re set up for you.

He's still running behind

He’s “running behind” from polls created quite literally from state sponsored media. Thats the point.

You lefties are all the same.

Well, you're gonna have to deal with em. No approval ratings polls are perfect. Make sure you bookmark this

Im familiar with 538 and not a chance I’d bookmark that.

I’ll follow the couple pollsters that nailed the 2024 general election. The others have a history of skewing data to the left and there’s data to prove that. They’ve been incentived, literally.

Apples to oranges. Your orange man bad bias is showing.

You refuse to acknowledge these pollsters are anti-Trump (proven by data vs actual results) and are incentivized to do so. Of course they will show Trump doing not as well as reality, the precedent and motivation are there.
