Pretty impressive considering the MSM is working 24/7 to tarnish him.

quote:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-one percent (41%) disapprove.

Every other poll has him in the low 40s to upper 30s. This is the outlier.

media will never use Rasmussen polls for approval rating...ever. They will find the lowest polling example and run with it

We should totally believe media polls after the election.

I have yet to come across a Trump supporter that disapproves of his job performance to date. OTOH, I've heard numerous people say they didn't support him but are now firmly behind him after seeing what he's done this week.

Average of the media polls had Hillary winning by less than she actually did in the popular vote. Not sure what your point is.

Gallup, PPP and quinnipiac aren't anymore a "media" poll than Rasmussen is. They have him at least 13 points lower.

Outlier.

I guess you weren't there election day when the exit polls had Clinton winning half the states she lost?

How so? One has him at 46. That's not technically low 40s. Still 13 points under Rasmussen.

Well during the campaigns, the "outliers" turned out to be the correct polls.

I'll continue to pay attention to the "outliers".

Exit polls and polls such as pre-election and approval polls are apples and oranges. Exit polls aren't scientific and are just done so talking heads have something to talk about till the polls close.
The actual scientific polling done before the election was within the margin of error.

You said his approval is in the low 40s, which implies more than half the country disapproves of him which is an outright lie

So you agree that it's not true what you claimed by saying "every other" poll has Trump in the low 40's or upper 30's.

Confirmation bias is a very real thing in politics.
