As Nate Silver notes, Trump’s recent approval ratings vary from a high of 55 percent (with 45 percent disapproval) in the aforementioned Rasmussen poll to a low of 39 percent (with 56 percent disapproval) in a survey from Pew Research. The differences are most likely the result of a combination of sampling and survey techniques. Trump consistently does better with narrower samples. Rasmussen claims to be measuring likely voters, even though we are more than a year and a half away from the next national election. Pew is sampling all adults, a significantly larger universe than those who will ultimately vote in that next election. Rasmussen is also famously a robo-pollster, which means he’s only reaching the half of the electorate that has land lines. Pew utilizes a traditional live-interview methodology, which is generally thought to be more accurate, but that some theorize can be misleading with respect to highly controversial politicians like Trump.
The truth... a sample size of 1,000 people (or similar) does not extrapolate into representing the entirety of America.
Now you're quoting Nate Silver after your side bashed him to no end for being wrong on the election? Make up your damn minds already! This is why nobody takes wingnuts seriously.
You know, I'm really wondering what is going to happen when Pence's approval ratings are towering over Trump's?
Trump really really hates it when an 'employee' outshine him. When his very sharp Apprentice exec Carolyn got too much attention after the first season--he fired her! He couldn't take sharing the limelight.
...so do you think he'll go nuts because he can't fire Pence?
Will he try to sideline or undermine him? Send out anti-Pence tweets? This oughta be really good.
He's never been in a situation where some who is supposed to be 'under' him totally outshines him. He simply doesn't do 'gracious' or proud if it isn't Ivanka or one of his kids that is doing a great job.
Uh, do you think ????? No kidding, he gives a whole new meaning to the word incompetent. Whenever I see him trying to act Presidential, it reminds me so much of Alec Baldwin, doing his schtick. Trump is really an embarrassing joke of a person.
I think God must have a quirky sense of humor and let Trump be elected just for the laughs !

I don't think God is kidding, He is passing judgment, and Trump is His chosen weapon.
God has passed judgment against His own people before when they turned their backs on Him. He even raised armies to punish Israel: "For the LORD God Almighty declares, "I will stir up a nation against you, Israel, that will oppress you"
The latest Quinnipiac poll had some interesting splits.
The top line was -17 for Trump approval (38 to 55).
Republicans backed him solidly (83 to 10).
Democrats despise him (91 opposed 5 support)
Indys mirror the national average (55 oppose 38 support)
White non- college support Trump by 19 (56-37) but white college are 14 (40-54)
Finally! Wonder what took most of these people so long to figure this out?
As if we didn't have decades of evidence to suggest that he's a complete fraud and hack.
I guess some people just wanted to run the experiment to see what happens when you elect a pathological lying buffoon to the highest elected office in the country. Unsurprisingly, craziness ensues.

Trump has a problem: Americans increasingly think he's incompetent
