In a cabinet meeting on Monday, Donald Trump proclaimed, “Overall, I think we’re doing incredibly well.” But one of the most conservative polls in America shows that the American people continue to disagree emphatically.

In the latest data point showing Trump’s increasing unpopularity, his approval rating in the conservative Rasmussen poll has dropped below to 39 percent. Not only is this the first time Trump has fallen so low in this particular poll, but the new rating is a collapse of 20 percent from his high in Rasmussen.

...........................................

In the Jan. 26 poll, six days after his inauguration, Trump had a 59 percent approval from Rasmussen. Rasmussen’s data is definitely an outlier, as polling averages have never shown Trump with anything higher than a 46 percent approval rating. Rasmussen has a history of polls showing Republicans with stronger support than other pollsters.

Trump was so pleased with Rasmussen’s conservative-leaning numbers, he touted the results in June, promoting a poll that gave him a 50 percent approval rating:

1. Interesting .

Funny how this Rasmussen Organization receives any credit for their results. First,this is a major outlier when it comes to polling just by their methodology or polling and Second,they are a Altra conservative company.

2. It does daily tracking polls

which keeps it relevant for poll junkies. If no better poll comes out today, there is always Rasmussen. It's good for checking trends, and with it's right wing bias, good for seeing how he is doing among his base. And right now Rasmussen is approaching the average of other, better polls. This means he has lost a piece of his base.

3. 61% DISapproval.

That's gotta suck for him.

4. That's what I see. Trump's base is shrinking.

5. Oh so agree with the shrink.

My guess is this slug is in the Mid 20's range on a true polling effort. Polling agencies do not just do a poll,there are some hefty money numbers involved in polling.

You get what you pay for,and the Media will not except a true poll,we learned that with the last election. Nuf said.
