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%.

They never stop. And I swear this place posts every point of disinformation. Where are the mandatory twelve articles from The Hill today?

On the flip side, if you don’t consult with the “acclaimed experts” or pay any heed to them, you open the door wide for the Left to leverage every death.

I don’t see that at all.

Pres. Trump will work with the good governors opening their states, and when the rest of the country sees the economic revival, the democrap run states’ citizens will be clamoring for them to open, too.

Trump will then be their champion, demanding the same.

He will box them in as the losers they are.

All that matters is that people are less dissatisfied with Trump than they are with Biden’s dementia.

The problem there is that the most pivotal states...New York,Kalifornia,Illinois,Pennsylvania,Michigan,etc...have filthy Rat Governors whose one dream is to bring the President down.

Take those states out of the "recovery" loop and the entire country suffers...badly.

The quality of elected representatives will rarely exceed the quality of the press.

“Just get the Red States to reopen. The Blue States will go to Biden anyway. And since it’s the Blue States that have the biggest problem with the virus, getting them open will be a tough job. Let the remain shut and blame the Dem governors for the bad economies in those states.”

i think that’s pretty much the way it’s going to go ...

Yeah, sure, all his supporters are leaving him.

And Hillary Clinton won in November.

You folks are freaking clueless.

Biden is like Professor Spaulding—— ie. Groucho Marx in
“Animal Crackers”

uhhhhh, without the mind or the intellect. Just.a.spouting. angry demented-early, old laughable fakir credit card collector Senator from MBNA-— the entire country “in their wallet” (Yes... Capital One , and Hunter was put on the Board of MBNA by... Daddy Joe). Corrupt, lying— fake teeth, fake hair, stretched face, missing part of his brain from a tumor-— Joe last hurrah. The “downline” from the Whitey Bulger Bahston gang of Irish mobsters-— and in Chi-town too (the Dion O’Banion descendants).

Joe- “on the waterfront” we always knew you... Biden my time on YOUR time.

A Gallup “poll” is akin to a Wash Post “news” story.

I understand. I think I would locate some credentialed experts that I felt like I could trust just to keep them honest.

I’d like to see that too - but if he did “change horses in midstream, it would start a whole new slant of hostile fire...might even get Fauci to go full-rogue with lots of “handy” clips for them to try to use.

Cuomo will never win the red states or the evangelicals. He’s extreme late term abortion, releases criminals without bail, pro illegals, anti gun, anti religion. I don’t see him winning the states Trump won in 2016.

If you look at this Gallup poll historically, Trump has been right around 43% for most of his time in office. It spiked to 49% during impeachment, dropped back to 43% in early March. Back up to 49% in late March, and now back to 43%.

With Trump as President, the proof has always been in the “pudding”. Time and again the press has dogged and criticized months and years on end, and he has always been proven correct. Most of the public has figured that out. It has gotten to be a “feather in his cap” when he is criticized by the press. A well-chosen, honest expert with good intentions could guide him and give him all the cover he needs by being correct.

Fauci and Birx need to be reassigned to “focus all their attention” to getting testing and vaccines rolled out . . . yesterday. Get on it, Little Napoleon.

It was by Darrell Huff. A good little book.

How long can New York, Illinois and California go without incoming tax revenues to pay for their ENORMOUS state budgets? Will their budgets last until November? Will state workers give up their paychecks just to get Trump, without bitching and moaning everywhere?
