Facts? Those same pollsters said he would never be elected president because of approval numbers.

And despite this, you still go on as if they have something valid to say about Trump.

I know this isn't how you think, that you think someone just hates the guy because he wasn't the person they voted for, but I suggest that maybe you should stop thinking of this as some game, and start looking at individual actions.

Fair enough but then show me to make your point one or two or three of your posts regarding any subject matter where you stated you approve of something Trump has done. Then I'll take it all back. I honestly can't find any but in all fairness I didn't look back very far.

Talk to me again when the Mueller report is released finally. The guy is clearly trying to block the investigation and it is getting clearer by the day.

A lot of things have been clear for a long time including how some democrats will try, do and say anything to get rid of Trump starting with Russia, to having affairs, recounts on the election, to trying to bring up impeachment hearings. It looks really bad to be so desperate.

And I ask this as recessions are a normal activity in a capitalistic society. It doesn't matter who is in charge. A persons temperament is vital to them being president. Acting like a child makes for a bad president.

Upon entering office Obama had a 69% approval rating, and a 59% when he left office. Here you are literally bragging about how great Trumps.....44% rating.

Trumps average approval rating? 38.5% Thats the worst average of any president in my lifetime.
Polls again!

Presidential approval ratings for Obama: Presidential Approval Ratings -- Barack Obama | Gallup Historical Data & Trends OK, long day, but let me think, Trump is where Obama was in January 2010, time wise, and Obama 25 - 31 2010 had an approval rating of 50% not so terribly different than 44% is it.

Obama started out with 67%, which of course meant nothing since he hadn't done squat yet good or bad. He ended with 59%, but Trump may very well be at that point at the end of his 8 year term also.

President Trump's approval ratings, and I have just used Gallup on both of these because they have charts/graphs: Gallup Daily: Trump Job Approval

President Trump is just getting warmed up, so hold on to your blankies!

Rather then cherry pick...just use the average then.

Trump has the lowest average of any recent president-Even Nixon did better.

For those dissing polls-stop your nonsense. The polls gave trump a 1 in 3 chance of winning. He won, those are the odds.

It's a lot higher. No one is going to admit that they support Trump to some leftist pollster when the stakes of openly admitting that they support him are career ending, possible physical harm.

So he is so unpopular that admitting support for him could be bad....and thats why he is popular?

Think this through.

Polls are just the media's way of assessing the effectiveness of their own propaganda.

According to the RCP average of polls, Obama started out at 64% and ended at 57%, but from 2013-2016 languished around 40-44%. If you click the link and scroll down a little, there is an excellent interactive graph that covers both terms.

Obama had a solid base from Democrats that Trump does not have. Even many Republicans are still leery of Trump (I was a never-Trumper myself, and did not vote for him.) Given all that, yes, 44% is impressive.
