Trump's favorability surges one month after election
The Washington Examiner ^ | December 6, 2016 | Gabby Morrongiello

President-elect Trump's favorability rating has increased significantly since his victory last month, and most voters now believe the incoming Republican president will deliver on his promises to reform healthcare and other issues, a new poll shows.

Forty-five percent of voters in the latest George Washington University battleground poll said they have a positive opinion of the president-elect, marking a 9-point increase from mid-October. The percentage of voters who continue to view Trump negatively has declined 12 percentage points – 61 to 49 percent – in the same period.

Defeated Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, who recently joined the Green Party-led effort to push for vote recounts in three swing states Trump won, has seen a decline in her favorability rating and an uptick in the percentage of voters who now hold a negative opinion of her (55 percent).

Nearly 50 percent of respondents said what they've read or heard about Trump since last month's election has improved their feelings about him....

Take that, media slimes. I wonder if President Trump’s approval ratings would be soaring if he stopped using Twitter or other non-usual media outlets to get his messages out.

He is driving the media elites nuts - and it’s a beautiful thing to watch.

and that favorability number just keeps growing despite the unified 24x7 attacks on President Trump by the mass media.

So, the mass media is losing. they’ve doubled (heck quadrupled) down on attacking President Trump even though he’s not even in office yet, and all they’ve succeeded in doing is further marginalizing their influence and credibility.

Twelve months from now, CNN and MSNBC will be reduced to just competing with each other for an ever shrinking number of alt-left viewers, with ABC/NBC/CBS also seeing an accelerating demise, while WaPo, NYT, ETC will be pretty much just a couple more fake news sites amongst thousands of others, and not even very credible fake news sites at that.

Trump’s popularity is skyrocketing so much that in the recounts he has already gained 55,000 votes—in just two states in two days of recounting!

The massively funded election negative ad campaign has ceased - now it is only the massively hostile MSM coverage.

He’s being serious, responsible, rational, smart, and hard working. He’s behaving exactly as we expected him to behave, and as the left predicted he could never behave.

“He’s being serious, responsible, rational, smart, and hard working.”
