Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The respected Rasmussen presidential poll has Pres. Trump's approval rating at all time high of 46%. His current trip to Asia and letting foreign leaders know where we stand seems to be well received. I'm sure this will get a lot of howls from Trump haters. Who goes first?

I think it's more that he's managed to allow a couple of weeks go by without saying something idiotic on Twitter. If someone could run his cellphone through a wood chipper and keep his mouth covered in duct tape, he could have a 70% approval rating by Spring.

TitanTiger 17,613 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Real Clear Politics keeps a running average of multiple polls and has him at 38.8%. If you look at the two most recent polls (Rasmussen and Gallup), it's 42.5%: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NolaAuTiger 3,099 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'm always perplexed at how reliable these sort of statistics are. For example, the night before the election in re estimated election results. I'm not saying that Trump's approval rating is actually higher or lower - but rather, how trustworthy are these polls and how much significance should we give them? Also, anyone have a link to where these polls were before election night last November? I don't mean this to be a jab at people who voted for Hillary - just using that as an example for an attempt* to justify my skepticism. By all means, undermine my skepticism if possible.

It wouldn't make sense to have a job approval rating on Trump or Clinton on election night. Neither of them had the job and could be evaluated.

For example, the New York Times at one point had Hillary winning the election by 97% the days before the election. Thus, I would be hesitant to rely on NYT poll about Trump's job approval rating.

The battleground states that Trump narrowly won were almost (if not all) within the margin of error in polling leading up to election day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyTiger 6,533 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Apophasis, Good stuff from from President Trump. In the 1984 U.S. presidential campaign debates, Ronald Reagan used a humorous apophasis to deflect scrutiny of his own fitness at age 73 by replying, "I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Trump got his attention with his comments, three aircraft carriers off shore and stealth bombers making close flybys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
