Polls continue to tilt toward Trump.
Both Rasmussen and Reuters show a 49/49 tie between Approval and disapproval.

His average approval is 44.2% at RCP and 43.6% at 538, when considering only polls of registered voters.

Trump's gains are slow. Perhaps that means they are more solid than Bush, who surged quickly and then faded quickly.

But the prediction was, at one time, 90% for Hillary. What happened?!

It's a lot different from coin toss.

Oh look, one out of 10 times a 10 sided die lands on a 1.

And?

And when the prediction was she would win over 300 electoral votes?

It would be nice if people remembered history!

It would be nice if people remember what polls are, and how probability works. But here we are.

Trump's average approval rating is now 2% higher than when he won the Presidency


And that's after 16 months of solid, nonstop hatred, denigration, bashing, and lies 24/7 from the mainstream media.

Can you imagine what his ratings would be if he had NOT been treated worse than Charles Manson, Typhoid Mary, and Adolf Hitler rolled into one?

That and the longer the Mueller investigation drags
on and meanders off track to irrelevant fluff like Stormy Daniels, the more people realize that it wasn’t warranted in the first place

But that’s the risk you take when you start a witch hunt and have to settle for stale Halloween candy.

TRANSLATION: After decades of Democrats screaming that Republicans were poisoning the air, starving children, dispossessing senior citizens, stating wars, throwing Granny off the cliff etc., Republicans finally had enough of it and elected someone who is fighting back, not letting them get away with it any more. And NOW we Democrats have to pretend this is a new "ugliest side of politics", and hope somebody believes us.
