Who cares about approval ratings. All I've ever wanted was a functional, frugal, debt-conscious federal government with a calibrated moral compass that puts the American people's needs first. And we haven't had that in decades.
I totally agree -- but play along.

I like to see the spin.

Mr. Meuller will provide the "gotcha" moment.

46% is huge for any Politician. Congress ranks maybe 15%.

There's probably few Politicians around who would rank above 30%.. Personally, I'm pleased with the economy and the job Trump is doing.

FYI Rasmussen has always been rated as one of the most accurate, too. The average includes many that routinely over sample Democrats, and their samples are very small besides.

I am as happy with the economy today as I was 7 years ago when my house rose 25% in value in a year.

My husband is in real estate land development and the big project he had been sitting on finally took started getting some traction about five years ago...it's chugging along - -not faster now with Trump about the same pace.

My kids graduated 6 and 4 years ago and got jobs before their last day of school -- making dam good money for 20 somethings...dang. Very proud parent.

So for us the economy is doing more of the same. Sure stock market has seen an extra boost this year but that really isn't any Trump policy.

I can't stand that Trump can't fix health care, immigration. Those are the biggest issues for me. I don't care what he decides just decide, fix and move on at this point. Until those two major issues get resolved we have the same big problems we did the day he took office.

And the fact still remains that these are the same polls that said Hillary was going to win in a landslide ...yet the Left ignore that little "factoid."
