[Thinkingabout]

1. We need to get the approval rate of Trump down, it bothers him. Never stop, never give up.

[iluvtennis]

13. The 44% approval surprises me. Saw pool earlier this week with it at 30 somehting nt

[Drunken Irishman]

25. Shouldn't. It's the lowest on record.

Generally presidents enter Washington with some goodwill. Trump had a whole week devoted to the start of his presidency. This is his high water mark - it's all down hill from here. In a month, I wouldn't be surprised if he's below 40%.

[C Moon]

26. Yes. You'd think a president newly elected by the people would be closer to 60%.

[rzemanfl]

2. K&R n/t

[LonePirate]

3. How in the world do 44% of the people approve of him? He's a democracy destroying monster.

[msongs]

4. those are republicans. the don't like democracy unless they control everything...nt

[brer cat]

15. I was told today

that the economy had greatly improved since he became president. These people are ignorant, gullible and insane.

[FiveGoodMen]

27. The stock market's gone up. That's probably what they mean.

That only benefits the well-off, but America's typical idiots can't figure that out.

[still_one]

5. These numbers indicate that a significant number of the populace are being fooled

that 44% approve of trump, is outrageously high

that only half approve of the marchers, is pathetic. Is the half that doesn't approve even know what first amendment is?

[elleng]

7. Right, and Rachel discussing effect of such delusions.

[TrekLuver]

9. Even if you don't feel for the cause why in the world would you "disapprove"???

[BeyondGeography]

6. Good numbers on taxes/conflict of interest

Dems could do a better job keeping the pressure up on those fronts. Or mounting any pressure, for that matter.

[TrekLuver]

8. This Soros guy is awfully generous with all the paying he's doing. Wouldn't that require W2's?

[treestar]

14. At the rate he is going he must be

twice as rich as Donald of Orange.

[LeftInTX]

10. Politico did a poll on his inaugural speech

Trump got relatively high marks on his Friday address, with 49 percent of those who watched or heard about the speech saying it was excellent or good, and just 39 percent rating it as only fair or poor. Sixty-five percent of those surveyed reacted positively to the “America First” message, the cornerstone of the Trump campaign and governing posture.

Fifty-one percent of voters described the speech as 'optimistic,' 46 percent of respondents say the speech was 'presidential,' and 44 percent say it was 'inspiring,' laying bare an alternative narrative that could have driven this week’s news cycle if the president had not started a multi-day debate about the crowd size on the National Mall.

Questions about Trump’s performance at the inauguration were limited to the 1,762 people who said they watched the address, a sample that’s slightly more Republican than the overall poll, although still skews Democratic.

________________________________

I didn't listen to the speech. I only read the transcript. I have no idea how a sample can be slightly more Republican and skew Democratic.

I'm glad the women's march has higher approval than Trump!

[sarcasmo]

11. Who pushes the Soros pays protesters talking point?

Rush and Alex Jones?

[bettyellen]

12. I've started to think they lie to pollsters and the media ...

Since Donald's campaign was always demonizing the media-and since they are fond of dirty tricks and pay-ops (crossing over to vote for Sanders in the primary, pretending to be lefty HRC haters on social media) I think they disrespect the results so much they like putting a wrench in the system. Think about how many flooded all those online polls for kicks, how many of them would take an MSM poll seriously?

[politicat]

16. Eh... PPP usually has those on their site after releasing. It's not there.

Are you sure it's PPP? Their most recent are one on California and one on North Carolina.

It looks like those numbers are SPECIFIC to North Carolina, which has a higher than average Hair Twitler approval index.

Only 44% of voters have a positive opinion of Trump, to 49% who see him negatively. Even among those who voted for Trump in November, 14% don't have a favorable opinion of him. Obama meanwhile leaves office on a high note with 50% of voters approving of him to 47% who disapprove. When asked who they think will prove to be the better President, North Carolinians pick Obama over Trump 49/45.

My bet is national numbers are in the 30s.

[JudyM]

17. So fewer than half (more like 1/3) of his supporters are deluded by his messaging. That's good!

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. Soros going to be broke if he keeps paying for everything the right claims he

pays for. Meanwhile, the Koch brothers, just saying.

[zentrum]

19. The beliefs

....of the 34 and 38% will only have a big effect if our democrats in Congress and in offices across the country don't stand up to him fully using every resource they have.

No more reaching out to the Repugs. No more being nice. Okay to reach out to his besotted and deluded followers but not okay to compromise on policy at all.

[orleans]

20. i laughed (ever so slightly) when i saw the word "soros" n/t

[Jakes Progress]

21. If I could get the email and address and phone number

of the last two groups, I could make a killing selling to them. They are so gullible and so stupid, they would be easy marks for any con artist. Oh. Wait. They already are.

[progree]

22. Rasmussen has him at a 57% approval rating
