Posted on 5/6/19 at 2:10 pm

He’s sitting at 46%, two points higher than Obama’s numbers at the same point of his presidency. Some other examples from past presidents:
1. George H.W. Bush - 76%
2. George W. Bush - 70%
3. Bill Clinton - 51%
4. Donald Trump - 46%
5. Barack Obama - 44%
6. Ronald Reagan - 43%
7. Jimmy Carter - 37%

It’s not weird
Bush 2 got a huge approval bump from 9/11
Bush 1 got a huge approval bump from the first gulf war
Reagan was still dealing with 82 recession

Not really.
Inflation was out of fricking control when he entered. He had to make moves that initially were painful and the height of the pain was at about the 2 year mark.

Very weird, but most people just don't take the time to get informed when it comes to politics. If they did, President Trump's Approval Rating would be 70% right now.

While I do agree media plays a role, trump can be his own worst enemy
His approval would be a few points higher if he stopped saying dumb shite on twitter

Two different independent studies showed that the media gave Trump 93% and 94% negative coverage, respectively. I might not like every tweet, either, but Trump has to have some unfiltered source that he can use to reach the public.

His twitter account is the reason I love him.

I want the MSM to control the polling that the public sees from now until the 2020 election, because I know they'll make the same mistake they did last time and show their candidates leading in every poll.
I want the Marxist voters to be overconfident and not show up.

Funny that HW didn’t win re election with such a high approval at this point.
Surprised Reagan was so low

Is that just Gallop's numbers? I usually check out FiveThirtyEight. LINK
At the same point in their terms:
Trump: 42.7
Obama: 50.2
Bush: 66.0
Clinton: 51.7
Bush: 73.0
Reagan: 42.7

Mickey, 548 does this weird thing with their polls where they “adjust” them
Rcp just inputs the polls without doing any adjusting, and trump is at 44 on average
But Gallup has historically been a main pollster, so that’s why it is significant
NBC/wsj has him at 46 as well

Can you imagine how insane Trump's numbers would be if he had a complicit press like Obama?

Gotcha. Thanks

538? You mean one of the famous sites that predicted HRC would beat Trump?
Posted on 5/6/19 at 3:39 pm to Mickey Goldmill
For the record, I do think 538 has the right idea to adjust the findings, because it’s obvious polls like Rasmussen have a non-random sample, which gives an inflated and inaccurate number for the president
But sometimes I think the adjusting goes too far

Yeah and that's really the only reason I go to them because it seemed they used a collection of polls to come up with their numbers.

To be fair so did most other places. Including Vegas who presumably would be the least biased
