Trump's popularity hits new heights - and Dems run scared
In agonizing, painful, miserable news for the Trump-hating left, a new Marist poll finds that President Trump's popularity has reached a new high at 42% approval, the highest it's been since he took office. According to The Hill:
Trump's approval rating rose from the 38 percent he received in the poll last month. And the percentage of Americans who strongly approve of Trump held at 24 percent from last month’s survey, an all-time high for the president.
At the same time, Trump's disapproval rate, now at 50%, fell four percentage points from 54%. The voters that the Trump haters the left has fed from for the past year, is shrinking.
Something has changed. And better still, these good numbers for Trump are a trend. For the rest of us, the trend is your friend.
The reason he's up, despite the Beltway's over-covered supposed turmoil at the White House, and the Russia,Russia,Russia obsession of the leftwing press, is not hard to discern. Job creation just hit the 300,000 mark, a number we have not seen in about a decade. Taxes went down - and they went down hard for almost everyone. Factories and their jobs are returning to the states. Workforce participation is growing. And get a load of this one, from the Wall Street Journal:
U.S. Household Net Worth Pushes Further Into Record Territory
Oh yeah. What it means is exactly what Democrats think it means: Bad news for them. Get a load of Axios's headline on one of its top features for today:
New peril for moderate Dems: Voters happy with Trump's economy
Peril? We're supposed to be concerned because these people face the prospect of losing their grip on power? No great blue wave? Because they had their chance to create a good economy through free market reforms, and they blew it? What kind of political party gets thrilled about economic bad news and upset at economic good news?
Just Democrats. These clowns held nearly all of the political power dating from 2006 through the Obama years and had all the opportunity in the world to enact free market reforms such as President Trump has. Cut taxes, cut regulations, cut bureaucrats? They could have done that, because free market ideas belong to anyone who wants to give them a go, not just Republicans, yet somehow they didn't. And now they're unhappy about how numbers work. Do they really think voters should love them despite the bad economy they created? And that bad economies exist in some kind of void only because there are Republicans, not because of leftist policies? Or that Democrat welfare-shoveling in its vision of Big State is preferable to the satisfaction of having a job?
Umm, spare us some schadenfreude.
I've got news for them: Trump's numbers are up and they are going to keep going up so long as he keeps sipping from that free market goblet. The way for Democrats to get such a trend in numbers and raise their popularity is to drink from that same goblet, and as the phrase goes, steal Trump's thunder. Since they won't, well, too bad. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/03/trumps_popularity_hits_new_heights__and_dems_are_running_scared.html
Lol, the headline may as well be "Trump announces that he has beaten the HIV that he got from the porn star he fucked just after his "wife had given birth to his son."
Celebrating 42%? Really? Holy fuck, the Dems have it easy in a few months.
Or Trump announces that he is "retiring" from the Presidency due to "health concerns" when he finds out just how much Mueller really knows about his Russian money dealings and laundering and makes "retirement" as part of a private plea agreement. Of course it is immediately leaked to the Press by his son Barron who adds "That'll teach that fat bastard not to ignore me all of the time and to humiliate my mother by always fucking around on her! The prick!"
So Mueller spent $68M to indict 13 Russians over $46,000 In Facebook ads?
68m is probably about how much Trump has spent at the golf course since being elected (not by the people). I don’t know who told you that Mueller’s investigation is over, but you’ve been misled.
Kindly point out to me, Hal, where I said the investigation is over. Ya gotta admit that the ROI sure didn't make it this time. Wonder how much Mueller and crew are costing the U. S. citizens that has not been mentioned by the DNC witch hunt crowd?????
Don't quite understand your point - Trump "spent" $68M, in one year, going to play golf on his own property?
Mmmmmmmmm - Nope.
You think it's free to fire up AF1 and fly around the country? All the ground crew, support aircraft for the motorcade, security, food, etc... That all costs MONEY, and if you seriously think that it's coming out of trumps pocket you must be high. 68M in one year? No, it's closer to 58M. That's still FAR more than Obama spent on golf. After trump whined and cried about Obama golfing too much...trump gets elected and golfs FAR more. He is, as well as all the cons that cried about Obama golfing, a hypocrite, BIG time. Go look for yourself. The presidential calendar is for the most part, public.
TRUMP GOLF COUNT: 95 *
Cost to Taxpayer: At least $58,699,871**
Name another president who flew to his home state every weekend on taxpayer dime. Then tell me why you don't care about all the waste generated by Trump and his administration. Hundreds of thousands in doors and desks, millions in first class or private jet flights, flag poles, private phone booths, you like paying that? You know what, you pay for that and the rest of us will pay for contraception and abortions. Or dental care for kids. This is such hypocrisy and we are all waiting for republicans to explain why they like all that spending and vaca.
It costs millions to fly home for the weekend. Wasteful. And did he not complain aboyt Obama golfing too much? Did you? Yes... Where is your outrage?
More bs from american stinker.....just wishful thinking, not the truth, but deporables can't handle the truth
That's what you said about the 2016 election!
Bear this in mind, people.
If the right wing is successful in determining voter registration, rules and eligibility, the 40% will be adequate.
Remember, the Nazis took and maintained power with 39% favorability of the electorate.
Yup, you need the illegal aliens. We got it
Pardon me, but I think your slip is showing.
Do tell?
Wait, you think that's GOOD? LMFAO!!!!!
RCP is an average of all the polls.... Survey SAYS????!!!!!!!!
40.4%...which is effing awful...
"Dems run scared"... That's some funny shit.. I guess when Obama was at 60% the cons must have been in sheer terror.
"Dems run scared"
I don't get where the right wing get's the tabloid garbage? They think we are scared of that blowhard? We laugh at him, poke fun at him, make jokes about his stupidity and ignorance and lousy business sense, his huge bloated ego is hilarious, his speeches are like a Saturday Night Live bit (and often become one done better by Alec Baldwin), but scared of him?
The "creature" is a joke!!!
I guess it makes them feel better and sort of superior some how to think hat that clown they support is some how scary or even competent because they are in complete blinded denial of the truth that he is just a fat bloated idiot, a pervert and a buffoon and is nothing else. That is what he has been all of his life and now that he is getting older and more senile he is just getting worse.
Well, I would have substituted "ass" for "ego"... But yea. He is an idiot....and not even useful. Great post Randy..
We are superior - MORALLY SUPERIOR
Yeah...right...keep holding on to that delusion if it makes you feel better...Trump's definition of morality means endorsing someone for the U.S Senate with many credible allegations of unwanted sexual contacts by teenagers, including two minors, which makes the candidate a pedophile, so your "morality" means over looking the truth of pedophilia because he claims to be a Republican...Trump's version of "morality" also includes a long personal history of having many affairs, many credible accusations of unwanted sexual assaults and payoffs of at least one (and very likely many more) porn star. So if you are a moral person as you claim (and I'll take your word for it), then how can you say Trump is also moral without puking? If you can say it and not puke, then you have sold your morality to him in exchange for power and I know someone who you probably do really worship who would not like that. Not one bit. Remember he really hates hypocrisy...a lot.
If by, "the rest of America", you mean 40%, then you're right.
It's ultra-con math. 42% now means they have the vast majority of 'merica ready to vote trump in office permanently as Dictator.
I don't blame the schools, it's just a matter of ultra-con faith in their mathematics instead of real numbers. It's not how you get any numbers, it's what you want them to mean at the end.
No, I mean most every thing west of New York and east of California, America’s two armpits.
You're here, so you must love the smell. Of course you could always move. We wouldn't miss you. And please, don't bother to write or even email or tweet. And don't leave a forwarding address as none of us want to know where you have gone. Just please don't come back.
Looking at a map... Where is it?
Then the rest of the country is America's a-hole.
Every inch of this Country, this Nation, this Union of States is beautiful and wonderous and special in its own way. Manhattann is marvelous but there is no sunset as beautiful as the ones I have seen in the deserts of the West. It is stupid to demonize big cities and it is equally dumb to denigrate small towns. Besides, it isn't about where you are it is about who you are with. The question is, why are some on the right so intent on belittling San Francisco and Albany? I've been to both and they are both really nice so I can only suppose it is because they feel threatened. That is a pretty dumb reason to hate on the coasts. Insecurities, I guess...
Nooooooooooooooo, really? Maybe it's time for the fascist nazi's on the right to start accepting that they elected a fucking idiot. 42%... That's so low it makes Bush look good.
Bwahaha. Sure.
Very first line..."help jefferson county become a reality!". In other words...it doesnt exist.
I agree.. I was just meeting rhetoric with rhetoric.
a new Marist poll finds that President Trump's popularity has reached a new high at 42% approval, the highest it's been since he took office.
Who would ever have thought that this statement would ever be something to gloat about. What a sad state of affairs US politics has become.
And math.
It was when republicans quit believing in math they became the small g gop. It was bad enough they wanted to deny half of humanity equal rights. It was bad when they quit believing in biology and climate science and geology and archeology but when the once Grand Old Party of Lincoln went down the rabbit hole of tickle down voodoo economic math denial the GOP became gop...
I'm not able to post any articles on this site. Apparently there is a secret to selecting pictures that are now required for articles.
I've never experienced a site that inadvertently dissuaded members to participate because they're not able to pass a tech course. This is very frustrating. It really shouldn't be this hard.
