TRUMP SURGES: IS IT THE ECONOMY OR KAVANAUGH?
Powerline ^ | October 05, 2018 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Or both. Today’s Rasmussen Reports has President Trump at 51% approval, 48% disapproval. Equally significant is his so-called Approval Index, the difference between Strong Approval and Strong Disapproval. That index now stands at -1, with 38% strongly approving of the president. For purposes of comparison, Barack Obama’s Approval Index was -11 at the same point in his presidency. Obama rarely achieved an Approval Index as favorable as -1.

I have no doubt that President Trump is benefiting from the Brett Bounce. At the same time, the economy has to be a factor. The unemployment rate is a flawed statistic, but the lowest unemployment since 1969–3.7%–is obviously good news. President Trump’s is achieving, on the economy, what Barack Obama and other Democrats assured us was impossible a few years ago.

Just wait until voters start to notice how successful Trump has been in the realm of foreign policy!

I think folks just couldn’t deny any longer, how good he has been for the nation.

The bald faced lies about him and his appointments have been seen for what they were.

This nation is on a roll, and it’s impossible to deny any longer.

I just thank God every day for our president. If this had been Bush he’d’ve cut and run a LONG time ago because Dana PeRINO and fat Christ Stirewalt told him to. The Senate had no spine behind it before Lindsey Graham started channeling his inner Trump and calling out the democrats for their corruption and the way that Trump and Lighthizer bent over Canada and their piddly, little economy is EXACTLY the way we should treat countries that need us way more than we need them. I shudder to think where we’d be without our wonderful, strong president.

Trump is keeping his promises which is quite rare in Washington these days. I’m giving him an A so far.

This country hasn’t seen a leader in many, many years. They didn’t know what to think when they heard them big brass balls coming down the street. They have it figured out now and they like it.

I think that the segment of the population that swallows everything that the establishment media dish out found something that they could not stomach, and regurgitated it back.

It’s both Kavanaugh and the improving economy.

Does it matter? We should be concerned with more important questions like what makes a better hanging rope, hemp or jute? Or maybe a biodegradable poly-blend with a low carbon footprint?

I think so too.

His events are packed with many people outside.

He’s a phenomenon.

A lot can change in a month. New issues and controversies will come up in the next 4 weeks. Once the vote is done, how do we keep the Democrat dirty tricks on Kavanaugh fresh in the minds of voters on election day?

Begala was just on CNN and he did mention that this is what happens when Russians choose our president.
