The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trumps job performance. Fifty-four percent (54%) disapprove.
The latest figures include 29% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 46% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -17. (see trends).
Regular updates are posted Monday through Friday at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily email update).
Most Americans continue to say their families regularly display the U.S. flag on holidays, and as in the previous survey, 85% of adults consider themselves, to be patriotic Americans.
Also, voters do not see chanting USA as an intolerant expression.
Yet respect for the flag and the national anthem remains a contentious issue. Hundreds of NFL players have knelt, sat or avoided the National Anthem since President Trump said last Friday that players who disrespect it should be fired. Thirty-four percent (34%) of Americans say they are less likely to watch an NFL game because of the growing number of protests by players on the field.
Protests erupted in St. Louis following the acquittal of a white former police officer who fatally shot a black man in 2011. But Americans believe those protests are primarily fueled by criminals taking advantage of the situation and are not an expression of legitimate outrage.
I didn’t dig into all the stats here. But this is telling.
What this means is, that the media can manufacture any results they want, simply by tweaking the number of Democrats vs number of Republicans — by changing the mix of respondents, they can come up with any result they want.
Not really. Please check the facts...
No doubt ...these phony ass polls always poll more democrats than republicans and fewer independents than actually exist!!!
he won the election with more than 50%
Not really. Please check the facts...

Ok, perhaps you are right.
Do you believe the poll? If so, why?
45% approval is good when realizes 15 or 20 percent of those that do not approve hold the democrat party in total contempt. They will either stay home or reluctantly vote for Trump. We are winning!
Forgot to add that the day before the election Hillary had a 52% disapproval rating and Trump had a 61% disapproval rating and Trump is The President and not Hillary Clinton.
That is from the Gallop Polls.
Like I said earlier, the polls don’t reflect who actually turns out to vote. A fraction of the eligible population actually votes. It isn’t neccessarily the same people who actually vote that votes in the polls.
If you remove CA and NY, you get Trump 47.1%, Hillary 46.4%. Trump ahead but not over 50
What do they disapprove of? Border security? Jobs? ........................... Racist, woman hater, homophobic, or anything that comes out of his mouth that displeases them. “He must not succeed, we got to win this F’r no matter what”. Same people with the same nonsense.
Shillery got 48%, with fraud, without fraud, still mid 40’s. Her voters do disapprove of border security.
These are good numbers, rats will do poorly in the midterms if Trump is at 45%.
Reality is Puerto Rico might have a negative impact in the next polls. We’ll see.
To the extent I worry about polls, especially nebulous approval ratings, 2016 showed us that inherent bias including ‘weighting’ is worth 5% along with a constant flow of negative coverage of any GOP figure worth another 5% thanks to the sheep among us.
So, the audience’s own ‘weighting’ should automatically add 10%.
Unless you’re Mitch McConnell.
