Trump has had low approval ratings ever since he started running, and yet he still won the nomination and the presidency
But if liberals feel that they've got this thanks to polls, good for them
Site it. If you're so against fake news, be better than them. Site the poll that Pew Research got wrong (I ask, as I'm fairly certain Pew Research doesn't run prediction polls... but maybe I'm wrong... so ****ing prove yourself).
Also, even if a prediction poll is wrong (assuming it exists, which it probably doesn't), that doesn't invalidate this. It's purpose is distinct. This poll is less about right and wrong and more about assessing a general climate. A climate that is most likely true. Especially since I can just look at your post history to see plenty of liberal bashing threads. If you think they're such a problem, there's probably enough of them to lower his approval rating, right?
One other point of interest that I failed to mention in the OP was the differences by religious preference.
Total Protestant: 48% approve/45% disapprove (+3%) White N/H Evangelical Protestant 74% approve/20% disprove (+54%) White N/H Mainline Protestants: 48% approve/48% disapprove (0) Total Catholic : 38% approve/56% disapprove (-18%) White N/H Catholic 52% approve/42% disapprove (+10%) Unchurched ("Unaffiliated") 24% approve/68% disapprove (-44%)
Christian evangelicals remain solidly with Trump. According to the 2016 exit polls, evangelicals made up 26% of total votes cast and broke 80/16 (+64%) for Donald Trump.
that's an interesting observation.
It really highlights what I have experienced with some religious folks: hypocritical and insincere. One would think that anyone of Christian Values wouldn't endorse, let alone approve of the thrice married, adulterous, lying, ****** pu**y grabber.

Trump is advocating cutting off health insurance for millions, cutting Medicaid that takes care of the elderly as well as children with disabilities, cutting Food Stamps, Meals on Wheels, ... all so the robber barons can get a tax cut they'll likely never notice.
Why would anyone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ be going along with this?
Very interesting poll from Gallup that breaks down Trump approval by state.
1. Those (17) states where Trump is at 50% or above in job approval: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming. These are all rockribbed Republican states and Trump carried all of them in 2016.
2. Those (17) states where Trump below 40% in job approval: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington. These are all solid Democratic states carried by Clinton in 2016.
3. Those (14) states where Trump job approval is over 40% but less than 50%: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin. These were in general the battlegrounds in 2016, with the exception of a few states that were carried fairly easily by Trunp, but have large minority populations.
Quote:
Consistent with the broader geographic patterns of Republican strength across the country, some of Trump's highest approval ratings tend to be in Southern, Plains and Mountain West states. His lowest ratings are primarily in Northeast and West Coast states.
Quote:
During the Jan. 20-June 30 time period, residents in West Virginia (60%), North Dakota (59%) and South Dakota (57%) gave Trump his highest approval ratings. Montana, Wyoming and Alabama all had average approval ratings of 55% or higher.
Quote:
Residents in Vermont and Massachusetts gave Trump his lowest average approval ratings -- both below 30% -- with Maryland, California, and New York close behind at 30% or 31%.
Quote:
Trump largely owed his victory in the 2016 presidential election to his wins in three key Rust Belt states -- Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin -- that had not backed a Republican for president since the 1980s. In these states, his January-June approval ratings were just slightly above his overall average of 40%, including 43% in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and 42% in Michigan.
Quote:
Trump is hardly a conventional politician, but his patterns of support at the state level mostly reflect traditional Republican-Democrat differences. Although 2020 is a long way off, for him to successfully win re-election, historical patterns suggest his overall 40% rating would need to rise closer to 50%. He would also need to shore up his support in the key Rust Belt states that delivered the Electoral College win to him. In those states, his job approval is slightly above 40%, but barely so, raising questions of whether he can carry them in 2020.
At the bottom of the article, you'll find the approval/disapproval for each state and the size of the sample. President Trump has a higher approval than disapproval in 19 states.

This is honestly way more interesting to see that just hearing about national approval ratings.
