The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trumps job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove.

This is the presidents highest job approval rating since mid-June of last year. President Obama earned 45% approval on this date in the second year of his presidency.

The latest figures include 34% who Strongly Approve of the way the president is performing and 41% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -7. (see trends).


I'm not a Trump supporter, but the disconnect between what I see online and the sentiments of Americans is pretty astounding.

It's not.

http://thehill.com/media/306721-rasmussen-calls-itself-most-accurate-pollster-of-2016

On its final poll released Nov. 7, the day before Election Day, Rasmussen had Hillary Clinton up 2 points on Donald Trump. Clinton won the popular vote by 1 percentage point, even though Donald Trump beat her on electoral votes.

No other pollster tracked by RealClearPolitics came as close to the final results.

why not use a poll aggregator like 538 instead of the known biased Rasmussen ?

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/

i am a little ... shocked that he's doing so well. i suspect it's because the average person just sees headlines about economy and tax cuts and uses that as the entire basis for the decision

Rasmussen is notably, extremely biased towards a conservative slant.

It correctly sampled Trump's popularity, which is very similar to what it's measuring now.

It correctly sampled the amount of people that would vote for Trump over other candidates. It's a different question than general approval and according to politifact, the site manipulated methodology to garner a higher approval percentage.

Just admit that you're using it because it's the highest one, dude. It's transparent.

Trump:

- wonderful tax cut
- great SCOTUS pick
- he's charming and oozing with personality
- doesn't cave to weak Democrat demands
- tough foreign policy stance
- he's the type of guy you would like to hang out with
- booming economy
- put our embassy in Jerusalem (as it should be)
- not infringing on gun rights like the Democrats want him to

Who cares what Obama's approval was in his second term when he had no elections left? This is Trump's first term. Compare Trump's first term approvals to Obama's first term approvals and his rating gets obliterated on every day of the year.

it most certainly did not. here's a snapshot of their prediction right before

Hilary was at 71.4%, which is nowhere near 99%.

do you always just make stuff up like this or was this an anomaly?
