Trump surges in polls during first foreign trip

Rasmussen, one of the few polls this past election that appeared to reflect the opinion of the country (by closer predicting Trump's victory than most other polls), shows Trump enjoying a nice bump in approval ratings during his trip to the Middle East.

Rasmussen reports the president’s approval numbers rising to 48 percent from a recent low of 43, with disapproval at 52 percent, down from 57. The poll canvasses 500 likely voters per night for a three-day rolling average, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent.

While polls taken before his multinational tour showed the president’s polls numbers dropping several points in the wake of news developments cast in a negative light by many establishment media outlets, Rasmussen may be the first daily tracker to reflect the positive news emerging from Trump’s meetings and summits, in which the American president looks commanding, decisive, gracious, and very much belonging on the world stage alongside other leaders, many of whom are praising him and looking for U.S. support.

Despite all the hysteria lately from the left (demands of impeachment), seems Trump's direction is rather on par at the moment. I guess all the impeachment hubbub really was just all the same democrats who cried when Trump got into office - and once again they were getting together for another cry.

"Impeach Trump cuz muh feelings!", Zaryiah

“I see no sign that there’s any likelihood that he’ll be impeached,” John Podesta.

Yeah, that surge. He went from 38% to 39%.

Actual Approval Rating

A Rasmussen poll. This is the part where I start walking away at how STUPID this gets.

OP why are you quoting John Podesta? A man you thought was a the kingpin of a child sex trafficking ring.

He just got 40% in the latest Fox news poll. What a disaster fake president idiot is.

I don't think we've been watching the same footage...

How come the polls shows so much different result?

Rasmussen Reports is a notoriously right-leaning pollster who is pretty much always the outlier in these kinds of polls.

@horgen:

Some polls have his fans, and fellow republicans and some have people from the rest of the population. You can find more favorable or unfavorable results depending on where you look.

I guess skipping the second day of that summit in Saudi Arabia so he could take a nap really paid off.

And I thought polls were supposed to show what the people actually meant about these things.

@horgen: It's all about methodology.

@KHAndAnime: So you're saying that by leaving the country Trump's approval ratings went up?

I know. Hence you can't really trust these polls unless you know how they were done. Yet this is to difficult for most people to understand I assume.

I not once mentioned impeachment or even alluded to it in any way shape or form. Screw off you lying pest.

Further more, I am not a liberal or democrat, I simply point out objective/factual issues with Trump's presidency and other republican policies. Most of this is not hysteria. Firing the man who was investigating Trump's campaign after telling him to stop investigating Flynn did not do any favors for his low approval rating.

He is making decisions that people do not like, that is a fact and this is reflected by his historically low approval rating. It is reflected in the Trumpcare approval rating. You CAN NOT get an approval rating that low from liberals alone, he stinks towards the independents/moderates as well. Maybe you should be calling your "enemies" moderates as an insult, as it's more likely the case.

It's bad enough that you spam actual fake news, but please do not spread fake news about forum posters. It's pathetic.

/Thread.

And our doofus of a president cites Rasmussen for his approval rating like a good thing. lol

lmao!

Haha.

Hahaha........

Let's put that to the test. Let Trump out of the country for 8 years and see how his approval rating will be!

you can't prove a trend from a single data point. need to wait and see other polls from during/after his vacation

Vacation as in not being in US, or after he plays golf again in Mar-a-lago or whatever the place was called again?
