Rasmussen’s last Daily Presidential Tracking survey of the year for presidential approval ratings finds President Trump holding a 46% approval rating (53% disapproval) which is identical to the same survey conducted at the end of President Obama’s first year in office.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 46% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove.
The latest figures include 29% who Strongly Approve of the way the president is performing and 44% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. (link)
As People’s Pundit points out: “Worth noting, the intensity index known as the Presidential Approval Index, which is the disparity between voters who “strongly” approve or disapprove, is actually more favorable to President Trump than it was for Mr. Obama.”
This is despite Pew Research recently showing how much the media is opposed to a Trump administration:
PEW – “About six-in-ten stories on Trump’s early days in office had a negative assessment, about three times more than in early coverage for Obama and roughly twice that of Bush and Clinton.” (link)
President Trump finishes out the year in much better shape than the media. A majority of Americans now recognize the severe dysfunction and Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) carried by most U.S. media outlets:
Uh-oh. The Democrats are going to have a tough time cry-babying their voters into supporting them when the voters don’t trust their propaganda arm. Gee whiz, all that time, money and hope plowed into “Russian collusion”… wasted. Seems the only thing all that effort created was more distrust.
Giggle.
So that means Trump’s approval is -.1% of his popular vote percentage (46.1%) at this point and Obama was off -6.9% of his at this point (52.9%). The Obamamites will respond to this by 1) claiming -6.9% is really less than -.1% because they are mathematically challenged; 2) claim that the math is biased against Obama because math is racist, or 3) simply lie.
Rasmussen c’mon how bout Reuters 35% or RCP around 40%
Trump, understandably to most all, is extremely unpopular–personally.
BTW–when did you guys start believing in polls?
As to media coverage–they kiss DT’S butt enough at FOX to offset MSM’s negative coverage.
@rich wheeler:
When did you start doubting them? Oh… when they don’t reconfirm your biases.
If the other media outlets would report the facts, they would be “kissing DT’s butt” (aka “reporting facts”), too.
@rich wheeler: You sit too close to the mean girls table hearing all the vicious lies they make up, but look how they are in popularity tsk tsk tsk. They just hate the most likely to succeed winner.
Truth be known the only polls I was asked to participate in asked for a Party donation.
Hope the NEW YEAR is prosperous and healthy for you and your family.
