I voted for him to keep crooked Hillary out, the continuous meltdown of the left that he's causing is just icing on the cake

His ratings with registered voters are significantly higher, and Rasmussen, who takes the extra step of polling large samples of likely voters, has the highest result.

And for guy who asked about kept promises, here are a few and their respective levels of support:



This doesn't include the Gorsuch nomination, which enjoys a 52% approval rating.

Doing what a large majority of the population does has never yielded satisfactory results in my experience,

I'll give you the TPP and Coal, but he hasn't "delivered" on the others.

Poorly writing a EO and having the rollout from hell isn't delivering.
Talking about a wall isn't delivering.

There is literally zero policies he has rolled out that would have an effect on job creation. Not enough time.

Quinnipiac was the only pollsters I could find that ever rated him in the 30's and that was back in January.

Maybe one came out today, but it's certainly garbage.

He has overturned one regulation that was signed in December and wasn't in effect yet. I almost thought that was a softball from Obama.

Hillary has done more for the border wall. "Moving along"? That is considered "delivered" now?

I also don't say this as a Trump hater, I'm pretty middle of the road.

Just a objective look, and those that are slathering over him would say the same thing if it was the other side in power right now.

The Rasmussen poll is a tracking poll of likely voters. Tracking polls are less useful for gaining insight into the population as a whole but more useful for finding quick changes in opinions. I also read that Rasmussen only calls landlines. There are reasons why it's an outlier.

ETA: read through Rasmussen methodology. They don't even call cell phones

When did a large majority of the population ever support him? If I remember correctly, the electorate was fairly divided this election cycle.

Who has landlines nowadays, other than old people and those more attuned to the Trump agenda, than America as a whole?

An outlier, but they are one of the most accurate as of late. And that is verifiable with empirical data.

There is no irony here given the length of time he has been in office and the pace he has moved to this point.

If you were being honest with us and yourself, you (and I) know that there is nothing that Trump, the administration or this congress can do that you will consider as "delivering". When Gorsich gets through (and he will) that will be yet another huge delivery by that time coming on the heels of repeal/replace, tax reform, etc.

I think this is not so much about what he has failed to deliver, but more your palpable fear that he will do exactly as he promised.

That's pretty shitty spin, there. Only about 54% of registered voters even bother to showed up to vote in '12, so the same can be said about "The One". Only about 19% of Americans cast a vote for Obama in 2012.

Trump earned 62 million votes
Obama, the greatest president ever of all time, had 65 million.

It's the highest of a sample that yields an average of 45. OP cites an unlinked, unidentified rating in the 30's. Which is the real outlier here?

Don't lie to yourself. Tons of people like what he is doing. Dems can't fake it anymore. You are going to have to put on your big girl panties and at least try to win the was of ideas instead of the constant race baiting, astroturfing, and fake news.
