Trump's Approval Rating Is Poised To Bounce, IBD/TIPP Poll Data Show
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 6/22/2017 | John Merline

Posted on 06/23/2017 3:48:02 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

After their embarrassing and expensive loss in the Georgia special election — which was supposed to be a referendum on President Trump — Democrats might take some solace in the fact that Trump's approval ratings are still in the cellar. The latest IBD/TIPP poll has him at 37% approval.

Then again, maybe that's as unrealistic as their hopes of winning a traditionally Republican district simply by bashing Trump.

A review of IBD/TIPP poll data shows that, if anything, Trump's approval rating could quickly jump upward — if he can put together a string of scandal-free weeks, or if the media were to lay off its incessantly negative coverage.

That's because Trump's approval numbers are unusually low, given the country's more upbeat views on the economy, which suggests that his approval ratings are more personality driven than policy driven.

Given the utter failure of polls during the Presidential election, why should we believe any of these popularity polls in the first place?

But, but, but, the rats had GA-6 in the bag! ALL the polls and the media said so. Their anticipatory giddiness was over-the-top.

IMHO caller ID has destroyed polling. I distrust any phone number I don’t recognize... they can leave a message, usually they don’t.

Trump folks refuse to be polled. Based on election day results, most polls seem consistently seem 5-7% favorable to Dems.

The IBD is a collection of left wing fags, as in queers, not normal, not born that way, just made an immoral decision to seek pleasure where ever they want and their 'polls' are so much bullshit that only they care.

The IBD invents poll numbers and their methodology is as corrupt as is the 'global warming' numbers.

Anyone from IBD can kiss my dago ass...oh wait, no, you all would like it too much.

If the wall was being built and Obamacare was being repealed, he would be at 60. His numbers are lower than they should be because some of his basic promises are not happening.

he fact that Trumps ‘personal approve rating” is at 37% and Obama’s was in the stratosphere - indicates only 2 things”
First: it is a measure of the media’s constant negative reporting on Trump and fawning over Obama; and second - it measures the cluelessness and superficiality of many of today’s adults.

Watching Jesse Watters interviews with people on the street and at Spring Breaks in Florida answers this question; We have a large population of folks who are ignorant of what really matters in the world.

Basically the country is doing very well under trump, Everyone knows it yet, hes got low approval rating because the entire press core are in a never ending political campaign against Trump.

The press is lying most of the time, its really not easy to overlook that, you basically have to want to believe what they are selling to believe it.
