Warming up: 51% of voters now view Donald Trump favorably, Rasmussen poll says
Washington Times ^ | Jennifer Harper

Multiple national polls revealed this week that American optimism and good feeling is on a marked upswing as the nation heads for 2017. Now voters appear to be warming to President-elect Donald Trump as well.

A new Rasmussen Reports survey released Tuesday finds that 51 percent of likely U.S. voters have a favorable opinion of Mr. Trump — a number which includes 29 percent who view him “very” favorably. The landmark finding follows weeks of rising poll numbers for the incoming president. His favorability numbers among all voters have increased on average from the low-30 percentage point range to the mid-40s. None have gone over 50 percent in recent days.

Solid cabinet choices + the left reducing the effectiveness of their propaganda with their endless freak outs. I’ll make a prediction: By 2018 it will be over 60%.

I especially liked that Cold War nuclear arms race Christmas time thing against Russia and other bad actors. Must have been a shock to some.

It's scary and funny at the same time, to watch the left doubling down on the very things that have consigned them to the political wilderness.

Let us pray they continue.

The merciless scorn of the PC police fell to the defiance of freedom loving heretics. Those who hid in the shadows are starting to feel comfortable being human again.

I’d prefer we destroy their movement in it’s entirety. They spent the last 30 years trying to wipe out America through mass immigration. Such treachery shouldn’t be lightly punished.

There’s a very good chance that Trump could be president for 8 years. After that, another 8 years of Pence is a possibility.

So, seeing as the left is so distraught that they can no longer engage in reproductive activity (and half of them are homosexuals anyway), this is a golden opportunity for conservatives to breed liberalism into oblivion. Have large families, keep them out of the public school system, and if they appear to have a left leaning gene, have them spayed or neutered. Sixteen years of this should do the trick!

My godmother (mom’s best friend) who is almost 70 HATED Trump during the election. She kept repeating the same MSM lies, even though most people she knows - including her 80 year old boyfriend voted for Trump. She called for Christmas and said “Gee, I really like Trump now - I like what he is doing”

The left is certainly “freaked out” by president-elect Trump’s America First agenda.

But, the thing that is most troubling is how easily many on the conservative right have embraced and even mindlessly, loudly parrot the left’s criticism.

They just can’t or won’t let go of their butt hurt and admit they were wrong about Donald Trump all along, even as Mr. Trump proves them wrong with each of his stellar cabinet picks.

(See my tag line)

"By 2018 it will be over 60%."

I suspect it will be much sooner than 2018. The man isn't sworn in yet, and he has already accomplished more for American citizens than Obama has in eight years.

Most of the country wants to win again. Most of the country thinks the media is full of a bunch of losers.

Marxist-socialists have been working to convert America for many decades, using many tactics, primarily pubic school indoctrination of our children.

Possible and he will only be 65 but the last three have
changed parties after two terms.

But, but I thought Trump had the highest unfavorable rating among voters in the history of record keeping?
