Approval number seems to have a ceiling of around 42%. Currently his approval rating seems to be headed south, maybe back to the 30's.
It doesn’t take into account the newest poll. Also that example is going up.
So do you still think a great strategy is too attack trump from the right in terms of foreign policy and back Mccain the war criminal as a symbol of the opposite of Trump?
And half is brainwashed into think Trump is anointed by God and is some kind of "King Cyrus" who is going to restore white Christian America and bring back the glory days of the 1950s.
There actually is no one who thinks like that. That position is one held by The Hysterical Left because they have no other way to explain why they are on the short end of the stick.
Right - and the 538 numbers lag (already 2 days old) - give it a week and you can see the clear trajectory. You can already see the approval headed down and disapproval headed up....
So, let's summarize.....
1. Trump has had a lower approval rating than any POTUS in recent (and maybe all) history...figured in most way (over time, each month, first 18 months, etc.).....
2. Trumps approval rating is at about 41.5% - and has been stuck in that range for a long time.
3. Bad news for him is a constant these days - NK, Convictions, "Rats", etc.
4. Some of those "approval" people are on a curve - they may approve, but they are not excited. Some may stay away from the polls or even vote Blue to put a check on him.
Bottom line - the mid-terms are all about voter excitement (a relative thing). The pundits say Team Blue is more excited....but I'm not a political scientist, so only repeating what the reporters say.
Put it this way. Things are not looking great for the tin pot dictator. Even he recently said the mid-terms are not shaping up well. Districts that were 11 to 16 points in his direction are now 1 or 2 in special elections.
But, of course, odds are odds and anything can happen. I never make predictions, just note the way the wind is blowing. I honestly think 35% of Americans would vote for him if he machine gunned 1,000 people in front of the WH. Given that level of ignorance and authoritarianism, all bets are off.
likely higher than 46%. what's not to like: lower taxes, more take home pay, jobs booming, country safer, fewer govt. restrictions. if he can replace Sessions with someone who is not conflicted - he's %'s will shoot up.
Despite these constant threads celebrating cherry-picked polls, Trump has never reached 50% approval and is unlikely ever to do so.
He's already played his best cards -- huge permanent tax cuts for the wealthy, short-term, small tax cuts for the rest of us, and juicing last quarter's GDP to 4% with all the tariff talk encouraging early shipments.
Despite the silly "Nobel! Nobel!" chants, that North Korea nonsense is going nowhere.
His big deal with NAFTA is stalled. Mexico declined to participate in his "handshake" announcement scheduled last Thursday and Canada is nowhere to be found.
Last I heard, soybean farmers were pleading for billions in subsidies because of China's retaliatory tariffs.
Coal miners still out of work.
Economy is slowing down. Wages are stagnant. Downward trend in unemployment is leveling off. Dow Jones Industrial which was trending up for years has now stayed on about the same level for the last 8 months.

538 is the only one that has him so low a rating. And they also fail to have added the most recent polls.

I did not vote for Trump but your depiction of Trump voters is as laughable as the things Trump says about the left.
Both sides need a reality check.
