Trump approval rating at all-time high

eman623 · Mar 25, 2020

Good news, not that you'd ever know this from watching the MSM. Ordinary people (at least not those who are not hardcore Democrats or are members of the mainstream news media, but I repeat myself) are rallying behind the president in a time of crisis. 11% of those polled do not approve of his presidency yet still approve of his handling of the outbreak.

I wouldn't count on this to last to November though. As soon as the crisis is over, I would expect Trump's approval to "plummet" (by which I mean fall from 49% to 44%, a 5% drop. It's all relative baby!)

Trump approval rating at all-time high

President Trump's approval rating has hit an all-time high after it went up 5 percentage points within a month after a majority of the public said it approved of how he has handled the coronavirus outbreak.

The poll released Tuesday by Gallup shows Trump has a 49% approval rating, which ties his highest approval rating from January of this year.

The president received high approval numbers for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. The poll found 60% of voters approved of Trump's response to the pandemic. 94% of Republicans approved, along with 60% of independents and 27% of Democrats.

Favorability among presidents has typically risen in times of crisis. George W. Bush had his approval rating go up over 35 points after 9/11. After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Franklin Roosevelt added a 12-point boost to his approval rating.

A recent poll from Monmouth University showed that more of the public approves of Trump's behavior during the public health crisis than they do of the media's behavior.

Approval always rises for wartime presidents. That's what this is, a war. Even I've found myself more inclined to support him, and I'm about as liberal as they come. We need to pull together to get through this.

Does that mean I'm voting for him come November?

**** no.

I have a real problem with the education system that created people like you who are so bent on massive central gov't proving for your own personal responsibility needs by spending in the name of compassion yet only creating dependence. I do feel sorry for people like you probably won't amount to much with that kind of attitude making you a slave of the taxpayers taking their funds to survive

I got a problem with people like you who failed simple civics courses in favor or faux news lies and propaganda along with red scare chicanery. We live in a society, get over it.

From the linked article:
"A recent poll from Monmouth University showed that more of the public approves of Trump's behavior during the public health crisis than they do of the media's behavior."

Monmouth is not associated with Fox News as far as I know.

What's his approval rating in Rasmussen? How come Trump and his minions aren't talking about that any more?

This is totally anecdotal, but there are three people in my life who are completely non-political but who have always been a good barometer as to where much of the public is on a given issue. In the case of this virus, all three are very tuned in and all three have the exact same take. They watch the presidents daily briefings and like what they hear. They then tune into the news and hear takes that completely contradict what their own ears told them. The truth is, Trump is handling this well and thats why the libs are so pissed.

It's hard to be a Republican these days. One minute they are following their dear leader calling every poll except Rasmussen "fake news", and when Gallup once in a blue moon has him slightly above a subpar approval rating (but really still subpar), suddenly they believe in polls again. But Trump's approval in Rasmussen hasn't been particularly good lately...which is why the idiot hasn't tweeted about it recently, and his supporters have been quiet about it. They only dance when the puppet master tells them to dance.

Last I checked? Something like 46% approval 53% disapproval. Don't worry, your leader will tweet about it if he hits 50% again, and call Gallup "fake news" the moment it goes back down to 42%-45%.

Tell me how civics has failed me? what is the role of the state and local gov't then the role of the President of the United States?

I have no idea why you believe that this won’t be reported outside the right wing trash blog world, but I’m sure it will.

Perhaps it won’t come in the form of a Trump campaign press release disguised as “news”.

In any case, Trump did not get the boost George W Bush got. Not even close.

And he has not risen to the occasion.

Trump looks like the spoiled little man child he is at those presentations. He hates being the center of attention, and his resents having to play second fiddle to Antony Fauci.

It’s written all over him. His body language practically shouts it.

And, given half a chance, he goes right back to his list of personal grievances and clown antics.

He clearly cares more about the Dow Jones than he does about the casualty count.

And yet, his overall approval rating is still in the gutter, including with Rasmussen.

Nice job cherry picking though, it's par for the course.

His overall approval rating is irrelevant at this time but what is relevant is the hatred you have based upon total ignorance as to the role of the federal gov't and the President. To you it is more important for a President to act Presidential than it is to generate the results Trump has generated. That is a prescription for disaster which is what we had during Obama, poor economic and financial performance. no President has ever lost re-election with a 50+ percent approval rating on the economy but there have been Presidents elected and re-elected with less than 50% personal approval ratings

So you are saying Rassmussen is a good poll now? Or do you have no point whatsoever.

Total projection.

Over all, Trump is a colossal failure. Always will be.
