From on the ground in Iowa. They love him just the way he is.
“He’s getting responses; things are happening,” Jerry Retzlaff, a retiree, said. “He got Congress to turn themselves around with one tweet.”
“There’s no secret the press doesn’t like him, and neither does a lot of the leadership,” he added. “And that’s because he’s planning on making a lot of changes.”
mhmm
For him (and Pence) to get pushed out of there, either their love affair with him has to die or ‘team blue’ has to make their feelings known.
That middle ground doesn’t exist anymore.
Here’s the deal. His approval could go up simply due to regression to the mean. In any kind of statistical time series there is always random fluctuation of observed values around the secular trend.
In statistics, regression toward (or to) the mean is the phenomenon that if a variable is extreme on its first measurement, it will tend to be closer to the average on its second measurement—and if it is extreme on its second measurement, it will tend to have been closer to the average on its first.
Nevertheless, his current values are far from auspicious.
87 percent of Republican [sic] approving of Trump’s transition
they like what they see.
Headline:
Gallup Poll: Trump’s Approval Rating Lowest Of Any PEOTUS In Decades
If this headline is correct, please report which previous PEOTUS had lower approval ratings.
Great point.
Well, those deplorable Trump supporters with beer bellies and hateful epithets did one thing that a lot of those Trump-disapproving folks did not do— they voted.
Last week it was 37%, so there are now 7% more Americans would piss on trump if he were on fire?
The residents of Mississippi ?
Was this before or after the presser debacle?
The 37% approval was the Quinnipiac poll from 1/5 - 1/9
And both are pre-PeePeeGate
Different poll, different question. But the results are in the same neighborhood.
One of his problems is he is making no effort to reach out beyond his billionaire base.
I’ll predict right here that if something happens the country will not rally around the Monster Nazifrog. We will blame him.
He ain’t no George W and my god I can’t even believe I’m saying that. Boy W got lucky. He’s no longer the worst.
Lowest in decades? Seems like a whole lot of decades, maybe a century or two.
Good point. We can assured there is a hard core group of probably 30-40% that love him and always will blame the “Clinton News Network” and libruls for their crop failures but that doesn’t win you an election.
Don’t think the Trump people don’t know that 9-11 was what boosted Bush2 after he lost the popular vote but won the electoral college. Don’t think they don’t know that Reagan invaded Grenada to get the death of the 238 marines in Beirut off the front pages (back when that mattered). The problem is that Trump doesn’t have the skills or empathy to appeal to a majority of Americans much less to actually handle a crisis properly.
Those chins, though. Jesus.
Well Gallup wasn’t around then, but maybe Warren G Harding of the Teapot Dome scandel as opposed to our new Teaparty Dome future scandel.
Except many who disapprove from the red states find Trump too “liberal.”
That’s how deep their racism goes.
