Trump approval climbs to highest level of 2019 amid impeachment inquiry
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
President Trump ’s approval ticked up to 49 percent — its highest mark this year, according to a new Hill-HarrisX survey released on Wednesday.
The figure marks a 2-point increase from a Sept. 11-12 poll , but a 2-point decrease from its previous peak of 51 percent last August.
Trump's disapproval rating, meanwhile, dropped to 51 percent, which marks his lowest level so far this year.
The nationwide survey was conducted on Sept. 28 and 29, less than a week after House Democrats launched a formal impeachment inquiry into Trump over concerns raised in a whistleblower's complaint about the president's communications with Ukraine.
House Democrats threatened Wednesday morning to subpoena the White House for documents related to Trump’s dealings with Ukraine as part of their impeachment inquiry.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said in a memo that House committees have repeatedly tried to obtain voluntary compliance from Trump officials, but the White House has “refused to engage with — or even respond to — the Committees."
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) held a joint news conference later that morning, warning that attempts by the White House to “stonewall” the impeachment inquiry and “conceal facts” would be considered an obstruction of justice.
President Trump, meanwhile, has warned about the implications of a potential impeachment, and claimed that Democrats are just trying to hurt the country.
"The Do Nothing Democrats should be focused on building up our Country, not wasting everyone’s time and energy on BULLSHIT," Trump tweeted following the news conference.
HarrisX researchers surveyed 1,000 registered voters. The margin of error for the full sample is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

Bad news for democrats
Amazing, simply amazing that with all of the criticism of polls on this forum,( remember HRC will win ! )
you chose to publish a story of one of the two
outliers of the most recent polls.
smh. You could at least publish all of them for a fair comparison.
No worries, it will be forgotten in a week or two.
It's an outlier? I see.
I see a range from your 49% Harris poll
to JR's 37% CNBC poll.
Both outliers, yes.
Both fairly meaningless.
I posted the same chart on his seed as well.
4 more years.
Yes, my friend and he will have a free hand in that 2nd term!
I guess you never heard of checks and balances or of there being three coequal branches of our government then...
That has nothing to do with liberal obsession to impeach this President. The facts are there for all to see. They have called for it since inauguration day. I'm sorry you didn't get to transform this country into an Orwellian state, but as a notorious radical once said "elections have consequences"
No man is above the law including Barr and Trump...
Correction - No man is above the law including Comey, Brennan and McCabe!
That's funny, I remember a certain poster on Newstalkers saying the law(s) don't/doesn't apply to this 'president'.
The only poll I look at is Gallup, simply because they poll every week and tracking one poll gives it consistency. Trump's approval has hovered a little above or a little below 40% ever since the day he took office.
Suddenly, your'e devoted to Gallup. Got it!
Trump's approval has hovered a little above or a little below 40% ever since the day he took office.
Then why is Pelosi the one who is worried?
It's not suddenly at all. I've been talking about it since he took office 2 2/3 years ago.
About Gallup Polls?
Trump's approval is tied with ticks, anal warts and dental abcesses...
I'll be right here a year from November. We will destroy the party of hate and identity politics!
So wanting to destroy people and actually playing identity politics by hating others.
Seems you all already have the trifecta.
Did I say people? Still twisting words?
actually playing identity politics by hating others.
That is exactly what has been going on. Blaming whites & Christians has caught up with the party of hate. We ALL got it now!
So a group of people is not people...ok.
Blaming whites and Christians? Sounds like a persecution complex.
I named a political party, remember? It's ok do what you feel you need to do.
Blaming whites and Christians? Sounds like a persecution complex.
It's called identity politics.
The only way to take people from a party would be by force or forcefully shutting it down.
Or maybe win them over...yeah, that doesn't seem to be going so well.
The only people complaining about 'identity politics' are people that really just want to be able to be bigoted assholes.
Take a deep breath. You can do it. Breath in...and out.
One more time.
Deep breath in...........deep breath out.......
Now, 'intersectional fukwads' ? Now who is using 'identity politics' ?
To take people from a party? Is that what happened to the Whig Party?
Or maybe win them over...yeah
Win them over?
The only people complaining about 'identity politics' are people that really just want to be able to be bigoted assholes.
It's the people who complain about people voting on the basis of skin color who are bigots? I let others judge that disgusting statement.
No way is it 49% now, no way!
Trump is going to crack up long before the election next year. He is his own worst enemy.
You better start praying

New York markets slumped overnight because the United States opened a new trade war front by saying it will impose tariffs on $7.5 billion of goods from the European Union.
Doncha know tariffs will pay for themselves....s/
And your'e against tariffs, right?
I'm quoting the pos liar in chief that thinks he knows it all....
Are you for raising taxes? After all, tarrifs are taxes...
Obama?
He's no longer the president is he....but you know that but of course you have to throw in a whataboutism...next you'll be posting about Hillary.
I'm for finally ending that humongous trade imbalance.
You have no stomach for that? Or is it just because it's Trump that's trying to do it?
You said the know it all in chief. I thought you meant Obama
Talk about taxes! If any of those leftist democrats were to win, raising taxes would be the first order of business
Trump's tarrifs are taxes on Americans and American businesses. They are regressive meaning they hurt working people most...
You feel that affects the President's support?
Voters care Trump's dumb trade war is throwing our economy into recession!
Then you have nothing to worry about. We get another radical and America finally becomes Oceania. What you really mean is the liberal media is warning of a recession. This has to be the first time in history when the media talks about a possible recession during a time of prosperity!!!
I am not worried.,.
YES!
Get back to us once people's retirement accounts drop even more...
You should be....The people now have a single adversary - the left!
So tell me again how one would destroy these adversaries...
Would it be through some kind of con camp...maybe put them in the coastal cities. Yes they would have the ports butt farms will be available.
Maybe get rid of completely...
I guess one could try going after self esteem...
Either way, good to know some just will not put up with half the country.
Like we don't see you trying to imply that I'm calling for violence. Ender, I'm not a leftist!
Would it be through some kind of con camp...maybe put them in the coastal cities. Yes they would have the ports butt farms will be available.
How about voting all the democrats out of office? Everybody else got it - and so did you.
Either way, good to know some just will not put up with half the country.
Like calling the other half clingers & deplorables?
I am not a doctor, I just play one on tv....
When we have people that cheer on this moronic buffoon, that berates people on a worldwide stage, yes, that is deplorable.
Some embrace the lifestyle.
I felt the same way about Carter, Obama and HRC. That's why we have elections.
Have a good one.
According to the Hill-HarrisX survey the Trump is now at 49% approval? Approval of what?
Am amazed that 'leg shots' to slow people down is so popular in some circles.
You don't know? I'll leave it to the readers of this seed.
If you know why don't you enlighten me.
Oh yeah. The economy, the anti Choice judges and the pro corporate giveaways. I should have known. Silly me.
I didn't say it, you did.
Yeah. Silly me in spades, right?
