Several Polls Show Trump’s Approval Rating Is Underwater by Double Digits
Several Polls Show Trump’s Approval Rating Is Underwater by Double Digits
A Quinnipiac University poll conducted June 5-9, for example, found that only 38 percent of Americans approve of the job Trump has done as president, while 54 percent disapprove — a -16-point job performance rating.
An Economist/YouGov poll published this week also showed souring numbers for Trump, with only 40 percent of respondents giving him positive numbers and 54 percent saying they disapproved of him — a -14-point rating, his lowest yet for that poll since the president was inaugurated.
Two other polls were also the worst yet in Trump’s second term. A Gallup poll from earlier this month found Trump with a -17-point job performance rating, while a Bullfinch Group poll found him with a -13-point rating.
At RealClearPolitics, which averages an aggregate of polling data from various sources, Trump’s numbers are not the worst they’ve ever been. But as of Thursday, his average poll rating is at a net -4.1 points, whereas just a month ago it was -2.3 points. At the beginning of February, Trump had a +3.5 point job performance rating recorded on the website, indicating that, since the start of his second term to this week, the average poll has shifted negatively for Trump by 7.6 points.
None at all. He’s already in office, he’s can’t run for reelection (at least as it stands right now). How popular he is doesn’t mean shit.
Also the way they write these headlines you would think nobody supports him but actually 38% of those asked support him. 38%
Yeah, Iowa and Kansas are kind of in similar boats. We’ve got big cities and college towns that are very modern and progressive surrounded by an ocean of Republican voters that keep flipping our state red because of the distracting.
If it makes you feel better, I sent a personal letter to Jerry Moran and told him that he was the most worthless motherfucker in the history of American politics, and all he did was send me an autographed photo of himself
Hopefully Chuck Grassley will die before the next election, but who knows I think they’ve been saying that since the 80s 
I told Chuck he’s a Nazi shit head, and at least Reynolds that she’s a cunt.
If Chuck dies, and even if he doesn’t, his son who’s currently in the state house I think, will run and win. It’s already lined up, and Iowans in particular are idiots. The brain drain is real. Mark it, Pat Grassley will be the next senator in that seat.
While the message is not entirely off, it’s worth realizing that polling approval numbers are all over the place. While Nate Silver might not peg it, be does at leas provide more polls which shows this:
As he says:
Now these differences aren’t too surprising. It’s normal for individual polls to disagree because of sampling error. But variation in how polls are conducted (whether they interview adults or registered voters, the variables they weight on, etc.) can make those differences even larger. For example, Trafalgar, InsiderAdvantage, and RMG all have Republican house effects while Ipsos tends to have a strong Democratic house effect. …
Inevitably, there’s a lot of disagreement from survey to survey, not just because of statistical variation but because pollsters have long had trouble pegging down Trump’s popularity — and often underestimated it.
Which is to say, polling is still more of an art.
This is not to dampen the delight too much, but reality is much more complicated than a poll.
pegging down Trum
I was not expecting to read that today.
