Trump's job approval is a dismal 40%

And why it is that high is beyond me.

1. not many people have land lines

and most of the ones who still do are the cynical bunch, you know the republiCON voters for the most part.

3. Yeah they aren't calling the right people for these polls

That's why the numbers are always skewed.

Only old people have landlines any more, and they don't have caller ID.
So they answer every call, including pollsters.

6. These polls include cell

Since nearly 1/3rd of the US pop is cell phone only households research companies MUST call be able to contact cell only households.

2. He just lobbed a couple of bombs.

Of course it's higher than it should be.

4. One word.

Deplorables.

5. Up 5 percentage points from his March 28 low (when it was 35%). Ughh

I guess people like missile strikes and saber-rattling.

35% 3/28
38% 3/29
38% 3/30
40% 3/31
38% 4/01
38% 4/02
39% 4/03
42% 4/04
41% 4/05
40% 4/06 thru 4/10
41% 4/11
40% 4/12

It looks like more than statistical noise to me. It definitely rose from 3/28 to 3/31, and after that has essentially plateaued around 40.

7. The Gallup polls bounce around every day

His polls were up some before Syrian bombs went off.

8. Here's what scares me

We have been 8 year with no recession. Granted, not brilliant growth, but no recession.

So we are due one soon. If a president goes into a recession at 40% how low will it go? And when it does, what crazy shit will the white house pull to distract from it?
