Trump's Job Rating Slides; U.S. Satisfaction Tumbles
Gallup ^ | 4/16/20 | Justin McCarthy

Posted on 04/17/2020 8:28:32 AM PDT by LibWhacker

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As President Donald Trump works to contain the damage from the novel coronavirus outbreak in the U.S., the rally in support he enjoyed as the nation entered a virtual lockdown has faded. His job approval rating, now 43%, has slipped six percentage points since mid-March when he earned 49% approval, which tied his personal best.

The six-point decline in the president's approval rating is the sharpest drop Gallup has recorded for the Trump presidency so far, largely because Trump's ratings have been highly stable and have yet to reach the historical average for presidents (back to 1945) of 53%.

Polls remind me of a book published a long time ago: “How to Lie with Statistics”.

Fauci and Birx are corrupt criminals. They have earned massive distrust.

This isn’t necessarily the views of conservatives of commie-libs, this represents the mushy Independents who are very fickle. If they see a negative story today on CNN or MSNBC, they’ll think Trump’s doing a bad job. If they see a positive story tomorrow on FOX or Facebook, they’ll think he’s doing a good job.

Take heart my fellow FReepers, this too shall pass. President Trump pulled this country out of Obama’s malaise, and he’ll do it again. In the meantime, STAND STRONG. The Dims and their sycophants in the media will do or say ANYTHING to hurt Trump politically with this.

I believe that they should have been replaced by the Brain surgeon in the third week of March.

...you must be out of your mind.

Not me. ----That dialogue is satirizing what the average dimwit American will say after being brainwashed by hours of leftist news media TV.-------- NOT what I think.

The propaganda buildup by the news media is ridiculous and going to get worse.

There's an old saying in politics: They love the candidate they chose so much they are already building the log cabin he was born in.

Dems and their media lapdogs have one goal: hurt, criticize, slander and destroy President Trump (and then us Deplorables).

Yeah, good luck with a lot of those. I don’t see anything about regulating stay-at-home orders there unless he literally assumes *all* the functions of a state’s government.

Do you REALLY want the Feds doing that?

Independents include many factions.

Including the hard core nationalists who wanted the border controlled and who provided enough votes to overcome Hillary’s vote manufacturing machine while at the same time replacing the votes of the Neocons...who stayed home or voted for Hillary in 2016.

Making statements about all independents is as informed and honest as making theological statements about all protestants.

Number one rule: never, ever, under any circumstances use the mean. Always use averages.

Not entirely true...under the current conditions of all states and territories having a federal disaster declaration, and likely, a state of emergency, there are provisions at the federal level that gives the President unprecedented powers...should he use them? No...I think he’s doing an excellent job deferring to the states...however, he’s right...the power/authority is there...under current conditions.

Yeah, and how does Trump compare “head-to-head” with Joe Biden (aka “Joe the Joke”).

You seem to be blaming Trump for refusing to overreach his authority by forcing governors to "re-open" their states even though President Trump never ordered them to close those states.

Look at Michigan. Governor Karen Witless has botched that situation so badly that Trump's odds of winning Michigan are BETTER today than they were a month ago.

Get on your governor's ass. Get on your state legislator's ass. Make this a grassroots revolt, not a national referendum on President Trump.

It’ll be up to you in blue states to push for a re-awakening, but that should be pretty easy once the joy in red states spreads.

Your Gov. and D reps stand to be the big losers. Force them. Demonstrate. Ignore the bastards. Blue state voters will not be happy....even the commies.

The US Constitution’s Bill of Rights is your ticket to freedom. They can not decree that you surrender your freedoms.

And do not allow the 1st red state WuFlu death shake your determination because media will try use that to scare you into submission.

Gallup or PPP or Survey Monkey, take your pick. They call people whom they know will give them the answers they want. They do this by trading respondent lists. But in the end who cares? The rat is struck with the brain dead Dover Dimwit and everybody knows what the outcome will be.
