Trump approval rating 39%

It's really a reflection of the tragedy of people who live by "alternate facts." Rather than addressing their "real" problems and issues (which may be valid), they reach for the easy solution of latching on to a cult personality who makes them feel like their low self-esteem can be overcome with a wall, hatred for others, and simple suggestions. And, mostly they are desperate.

And he will win re election in a land slide. He has had nothing but bad press since elected.

I have some thoughts:

Trump is a unique case, and least in the modern era, seems to have a core set of voters thats overwhelmingly devoted and resistant to influence from external sources for a variety of reasons, mostly, I think due to his ability to manipulate the media and his symbiosis with Fox, which has a similar philosophy and approach to building its brand.

Trump won the 2016 election in large part by giving voters enemies to blame, Muslims, globalists, liberals, Democrats, the deep state, Mexicans, intellectuals, academics, millennials, the media, Hollywood, coastal elites, etc., and while he built a pretty powerful voting block, it was based on core ideologies that are disdained by a lot of institutions and that, along with a lot of things he's said and done, and the fact that a majority of Americans have issues with these things and in turn with those that support them and him, IMO, have likely increased, rather than decreased the number of "closet Trump supporters, who feel like they can't or shouldn't express their political views in public for family or professional reasons, or even on Facebook or other non anonymous social media.

SW is a natural place for these folks, like others who feel like they have stuff they want to express anonymously, and through blocking as well as the general tolerance (believe it or not) of SW and even other disimmilar users ,they seem to be able to have found safe spaces, as well as places to fight as keyboard warriors, and just be themselves without recrimination or real world condemnation.

And here, where they often do outnumber other users active in the politics section, they not only feel more secure, but powerful and free to be like they can't be in the real world, which, of course, sometimes includes emulating Trump style bullying and bragging.

This is just my theory of course, and I have friends here, some of whom are Trump supporters who don't fit in with the theory much at all, or who, like myself gravitated to SW for completely non political reasons, but I think it does help explain some of what you're describing.

I don't see as much of here in other sections/topics, but on EP, there were an awful lot of different groups that formed communities, like the transgender, cross dressing and fetish crowds and even the "Other Woman" groups which could provide support as well as other things.

Are these the same polls that predicted Hillary had a 99% chance of winning? 😂

Fake news. Democrats over-sampled. What else is new? BTW, did you hear that there is no collusion? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

While SW may not be an accurate representation of the real world, you're going to find some really twisted WallNutters here.

They ignore the obvious, and believe in haikus, they get from their mailing lists, and hate web sites.

They will tell you that the polls were wrong, because Trump won, ignoring the very basic truth that the polls were not wrong. They predicted a Hillary popular vote win, with a margin of 5%. The polls were right, and she did win the popular vote by more than 3 Million votes.

Trump keeps saying he is the greatest ever. Facts say differently.

We are nowhere near getting started on an infrastructure reboot. This is something the Obama administration lobbied for, but the GOP vetoed, and will be not only the biggest job driver, but also what will give us future security. It cannot be started, because the GOP will not vote for it, and we already spent the money on tax cuts for corporations.

We are nowhere near getting the greatest health plan ever that Trump promised.

Education is not even on the map.

As far as I'm concerned, these are the top priorities. He is the President of the USA, but he has yet to act as one. He's consistently placed himself as president for those who support him. By doing, he's polarizing the country, at levels never seen before.

What he's accomplished so far, is inviting Dictators to break bread, with no apparent benefit to the US or the world.

What he will do now, is a victory lap, to spin the Mueller findings, whatever those may be. Today, the Senate GOP refused to put to vote, a measure asking for the Mueller report to be made public. Trump says publicly that he wants it released, but privately his henchmen, McConnell and Graham will say no. They don't want their own election chances hurt.

This victory lap will end in November 2020, when his family is all set.

That's nonsense. It's at least 48% and it jumped yesterday. I would be bet it's actually in around 52%. That poll is pure bullshit, just another way of attacking the president. The fascists are again borrowing a page from Goebbels's play book. It's just leftist city slickers, snobs, and kids that hate Trump. The working class loves him. You guys might succeed in pissing off the people who keep you comfortable, then let's see how you enjoy life.

They think they represent the will of "true" Americans. Other people do not count.

I experience more rational thinking, sane, trump HATERS here than supporters

Smells like a paid liberal poster.
Sad little thing probably only makes 10 bucks a post across multiple social media sites

Because the media is SHOVING bad press down the American People’s throats like Linda Lovelace since even before he was elected!
No other president in the history of this country has ever received so much bad press.
Crazy.

We really could care less about the so-called approval rating. ... Is this the part where you burst out crying because he was not charged with anything & you are just praying that CNN isn’t lying again & they absolutely WILL find some collusion.., next time! ??
Ok, go ahead then... I’ll call the Waaaambulance.

😂😂😂 did you learn nothing from the elections about "polls"? hahahahaha...baaa baaa baaaa

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-four percent (54%) disapprove.[/quote]

Manipulating social media has been Trumps strong suit (with the help of certain people he owes a lot of money to) from the start. Dont get complacent. Just remember, a vote to rid yourselves of this pestilence is NOT staying home. Its voting for the other person. If you dont do your part, then you have no right to complain.

Let’s just wait and see who is President in 2021.

Those polls are laughable. They are posted to suppress voter turn out. I believe his accurate approval is close to 50 percent

Gallup Overall Today at 43%. 56% approve of the economy...

If US don't want him then send him here to the UK!we could do with a strong pair of balls!

Just to let you know.we here in the UK love Trump!do not believe what the media say!

UK loves trump!

I wouldn't put too much stock in opinion polls on Trump. They were consistently inaccurate during the 2016 election and I suspect they suffer from:

An oversampling of Democrats and left leaning voters.

A hesitation among Trump supporters to admit their support to public pollsters considering the overwhelming hatred they experience from people such as yourself.

The way I look at it... no matter who wins, whether it’s Trump... or another no-talent ass clown... nobody is doing shit for me... or the majority of the American people. They [big]All[/big] have their own agendas... and they don’t give a shit about you!!

In part because of all the good things hes done and the indisputable fact that hes going to win in a landslide next year.

Just goes to show you even 39% love a butthole. Should nothing come from the Mueller investigation results it does not change the fact the man is a buffoon. A slap in the face of freedom loving democracies everywhere.

ooh 39% - and of course its a true sampling - taken in Mexico City

No Ronald Reagan,Roosevelt , Jefferson and Lincoln were the best.

I'm not quite sure which posts you are reading. You may be unconsciously selective when you garner this information. I have always supported President Trump and on SW and I frequently share cordial comments with those who don't. I suppose, although we may be in opposition, it is because friendships are placed over and above politics.

SW is a a funny place and isn’t representative of the country - in terms of politics, geography, or, for that matter, sexuality 😂

That’s why I have to go on reddit to shit on the lefties.

The individual voter really doesn't matter during a POTUS election, the electors are the decision makers - embrace it. Because it aint going anywhere.

😂 An empty barrel makes the most noise..a majority (59% don't think he's honest ,according to the latest Quinnipiac poll,so he's leading in one area

"Pollsters are after all, selling something. The titles of their articles may be provocative. The leads may reflect implicit bias, and so forth. Gallup gets accused of that sort of bias by interested parties on all sides, Pew less so."

No matter what Mueller's report said...and that isn't even revealed yet...2 1/2 years of Trump has gone by. Even his own cult is deserting him......and why not?

They are just the more loud and crass (this is a generalization, most common amongst the right).

This is a poll of the American people, not of the press.

He's a disasters but he's a spectacle and people love a spectacle.

I dont remember getting asked wether or not i approved of Trump? Did anyone here vote on it?

So you like to follow what simon said? you know that game is for little kids right?
