I have mentioned the weekly Gallup tracking poll a number of times because they take it every week (so it is timely) and by using one poll instead of jumping around between different ones we get consistency.
I have been saying for weeks and months that Trump's pattern is set by now. Every now and then he does something, along the lines of eye candy for the populace ( N Korea summit, frees hostages , etc) which bumps him up a little, but inevitably and invariably so far, his inability to tell the truth and his crazy attacks on innumerable people bring his approval rating back down into the "mainly the deplorables" status.
I think we see that again this week. After a few weeks in the low 40's, in the most recent week ending May 27 his approval rating is back down to an even 40 percent, basically where it has been for the entirety of his term in office so far.
Gallup Poll. Rolling average. N=approx. 1,500 adults nationwide. Margin of error ± 3.
"Do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president?"
It has nothing to do with left/right politics at all to me. I believe Trump has broken the law in enough serious ways that he will be forced to step down before his term is finished.
Oh, I'm still here. But unlike some denizens of this wretched excuse of a forum, I have a real life and do all kinds of amazing things for myself and other nice people. Trump be da man....too bad we can't make him KING!
Tech pioneer and philanthropist Gates has topped the list every time YouGov has conducted the survey, while Jolie has also come first in each of the three surveys since 2015 when separate male and female categories were introduced.
In the US, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama top the lists.
In the list of global-only figures Obama ranks first in 19 countries, compared to only 6 for Bill Gates.
However, as the former president performs relatively poorly in populous countries like China (7th) and Russia (12th), Gates – who places in the top four in every country listed –scoops the top spot.
The 44th American president is 15 places higher than the man that replaced him – with Donald Trump going up one place since the last study.
In fact, the last US president ranks higher than the incumbent in all countries surveyed bar one: Russia.
The sitting president of the United States traditionally ranks near the top or at the top of all of these "most admired man" polls. Up until now. Trump ranks 17th.
'Barack Obama is still The Most Admired Man in the World and Trump will never ever be that...'
Yes Donald Rump is such a petty impotent little turd and it irks him to no end that President Obama is admired around the world and Rump is NOT. That's why he's destroying everything President Obama did.
His supporters are such impotent little turds too.
So what? Obama was 47 percent this time during his first term according to Gallup. Not really that big a deal of a separatieon. This after it being 50 percent just a month before.
Trump hasn't finished his first term when he does we'll see what his approval rating is. BTW with blacks Obama's approval rating was just 47% when he left office, his average approval rating was 47.9% for all eight years.
Giuliani claims Trump is too busy preparing for the North Korea summit to deal with Mueller, but in reality he's too busy racking his brain on how to trick stupid black people into thinking he cares about them.
His polling numbers just like the stock market a roller coaster, he just showed up for the G 7 Summit 40 minutes late and they cancelled meetings due to tensions, what a winner./s He has also invited his best friend to rejoin the summit because as trump said "we have a world to run" somehow the world has yet to realize that trump runs the world, Putin is probably doing his happy dance for money well spent. Rude and arrogant, what a pitiful representation.
He will NEVER achieve majority popularity with the American people. Hell will freeze over first.
Whatever...Blah...blah....blah
But when sun comes up every morning for the next 6 and a half years, he will will still be president, and a Democrat won't
Someone has to bring you back to reality Greg.
Yeees, and who would do that? I don't know. Who could it be? Could it be, um, Bob Mueller? Yeah...
Care to lay a wager on that Gregger?
It all hinges on whether or not the EC loose their collective minds once again.
An independent ticket of Anal Warts and Dental Abscesses just might whoop Trump/Pence by 2020...
Someone has to bring you back to reality John Trump is President and will be until at least 2020.
Don't you like our election process? Work to change it.
I doubt that PJ, possibly, but the smart money is on Trump to not finish his term.
Lib money is on Trump to not finish his first term. Sensible people's money says he does.
It has nothing to do with left/right politics at all to me. I believe Trump has broken the law in enough serious ways that he will be forced to step down before his term is finished.
Oh puleeze! He can't show up with facts, and you want him to make good on a wager? He's already disappeared.
Oh, I'm still here. But unlike some denizens of this wretched excuse of a forum, I have a real life and do all kinds of amazing things for myself and other nice people. Trump be da man....too bad we can't make him KING!
Too bad he and some of his followers seem to think we did.
When one needs to announce that they aren't doing anything for other people, but bragging about it makes you feel better by saying you do huh?
Who would those sensible people be?
Just what our founding fathers were for right Greggers?
Barack Obama is still The Most Admired Man in the World and Trump will never ever be that...
WRONG !! A CNBC poll taken 5/12/18 shows Bill Gates as the most admired man in the world.
Businessmen, sports personalities, and politicians are among the 20 most admired men, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Vladimir Putin, and Jack Ma.
In the U.S.' individual rankings, however, Obama came first, while Trump jumped to second place. Bill Gates came fifth on the domestic list.
.
The sitting president of the United States traditionally ranks near the top or at the top of all of these "most admired man" polls. Up until now. Trump ranks 17th.
As if this ranking has anything to do with anything.
To Iran, Russia, Palestine, Hezbollah, Hamas, and ISIS.
Yes Donald Rump is such a petty impotent little turd and it irks him to no end that President Obama is admired around the world and Rump is NOT. That's why he's destroying everything President Obama did.
His supporters are such impotent little turds too.
RCP average has him at 43.7%. as of now. Trump has never been above 46%.
Yes but that includes Trump's poll bump for his Nobel Peace Prize winning deal with North Korea /s...
What NK deal is that?
So what? Obama was 47 percent this time during his first term according to Gallup. Not really that big a deal of a separatieon. This after it being 50 percent just a month before.
And where was he when he left office?
Not high enough to drag Hillary over the finish line!
Who cares? Why are you trying to compare the last couple of months of a president's term to one that will not be out of office for another 6.5 years?
That's when he gets paroled.
Just wait till Trump pardons the affluenza kid.
Does he have a celebrity endorsement?
Charlie Sheen might be willing to put in a good word for him.
Trump wanted to pardon Mohammed Ali even though the supreme court had already vacated his conviction. We have such a dunce in the Oval Office.
Giuliani claims Trump is too busy preparing for the North Korea summit to deal with Mueller, but in reality he's too busy racking his brain on how to trick stupid black people into thinking he cares about them.
The democrats have been tricking them for years.
'Just wait till Trump pardons the affluenza kid.'
And his mom who is in jail for meth. A tweaker! A white trash family with money - like the Rumps.
His polling numbers just like the stock market a roller coaster, he just showed up for the G 7 Summit 40 minutes late and they cancelled meetings due to tensions, what a winner./s He has also invited his best friend to rejoin the summit because as trump said "we have a world to run" somehow the world has yet to realize that trump runs the world, Putin is probably doing his happy dance for money well spent.
