Trump approval rating: New poll released after US strikes on Iran

How would you feel if a Dem President used US troops on US soil?
If it were for the same reason Trump had them there I would be fine with it. They were put in place to protect government property which is exactly what they did. Are you insinuating that is grounds for impeachment?
 
In a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday, June 26, the Republican leader had a 41% approval rating among respondents, with 54% disapproving. This compares to Quinnipiac's poll released June 11, when 38% approved and 54% disapproved.

Respondents gave Trump less-than-majority marks across his handling of seven key issues:

  • The military: 45% approve, 49% disapprove
  • Foreign policy: 40% approve, 54% disapprove
  • The Israel-Iran war: 39% approve, 53% disapprove
  • Immigration: 41% approve, 57% disapprove
  • Deportations: 39% approve, 59% disapprove
  • The economy: 39% approve, 56% disapprove
  • Trade: 38% approve, 55% disapprove
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released earlier this week gave Trump a similar 41% approval number, the lowest that the poll has found in his second term and down one point from earlier in the month. The poll opened after U.S. airstrikes on Iran June 21 and ended early June 23 before Iran said it attacked a U.S. air base in Qatar. The Reuters/Ipsos survey gave him a 57% disapproval rating, with opinions of his stance on the economy and foreign policy both slipping four points to 35% approval.

Anyone surprised?

Yes. His numbers should be lower, and they would be if our electorate had any common sense.
 
His polling average is still around 46%, which is where it has been since forever.
 
So his poll numbers went up. Well good for him.
They're still tanking. He has some of the most embarrassingly bad poll numbers of any president in your history. Not much to celebrate there mate.

Yes, if the governors of the states involved didn't request them.
What happened to states rights?
 
If the disapproval rate didn't move, that kind of reinforces the fact that there are a lot of folks (Democrats/Progressives) who will never change their opinion of him over any issue. It's the independents that move the needle, regarding elections.

It always baffles me the steps, polls, articles, partisan nonsense that will be spouted/reported etc to ignore that fact and excuse one side or the other
 
You need to sell people on the war, not just spring it on them. Make them out to be responsible for 9/11 or something.
Yes, so why didn't we invade Saudi Arabia where the majority of the 9-11 terrorists originated? I know the answer; too many Americans do not.

I like going with RCP for Trump’s overall job approval. RCP averages out all the recent polls over the last two weeks. RCP includes both Reuters and Quinnipiac polls along with 11 other polls from different polling firms.

I think averaging gives us a more accurate gauge of Trump’s overall approval. Every poll has its biases and every poll uses different methods. Another good site is Nate Silver’s Silver Bulletin which used to be 538. Nate also uses averaging of all the recent polls.

https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin

Down further Nate also provides the numbers on the different issues. RCP provides the numbers on top of the first set of polls as to how all America views Trump on certain issues. Both by the use of averaging tends to eliminate any outliers and the built in biases of the different polling firms.
 
Who knows? We've been in uncharted waters so long I can't even hazard a guess. I don't know if I need another paddle? Or, a life preserver!
Might need a new boat, lol.

The LA police force is enormous and more than capable of protecting anything which needs it, and the chief of police confirmed. Trump's ridiculous show of force achieved nothing.

Remember the last time the National Guard was called out to a peaceful demonstration?
That's what happens when you give rifles to poorly trained 18 year-olds.

You actually think that's the reason Trump sent them? That's so cute
Yes I'm actually sure it had nothing to do with pandering to his base or more opportunities for him to be in the news or any of those things cuz he never does those things he always handles things logically and rationally with respect to government property and functioning lol
 
Yes, if the governors of the states involved didn't request them.

The President is our leader and chief. He can call the National Guard and/or Marines to assist, and did just that.

They were not capable of controlling the protests, IF they were they would not have turned violent. Newsome sued and the appeals court said Trump was within his authority to keep the National Guard in place.

Cute? When one resorts to such words it is apparent they are struggling to actually engage in a debate.
Trump was within his authority to call in the National Guards, as well as the Marines (to protect government property).

So, you'd be fine with a Dem President sending in the marines to enforce a Dem rule?

Not surprised but it doesn't matter. Trump is either going to refuse to leave power, die in office or leave at the end of his term. His current poll numbers are not important to him. What is important is unrestrained profiteering and kleptocracy.

WHO benefits from destroying the MAGA movement ?

The GOP Old Guard : Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham , et al


By Tom Woods

Back in late 2007, when the American intelligence community generated a report definitively showing there was no Iran nuclear program, even the hawkish dolt George W. Bush backed off. Oh, he wanted to invade, all right, as he said privately, but how could he when the official rationale had gone missing?

Now we’re going to reject the findings of our own director of national intelligence in favor of the assurances of a foreign leader who has done nothing but goad Americans into expensive and ridiculous wars on the basis of saccharine promises that — wouldn’t you know it — never come true.
 
Not surprised but it doesn't matter. Trump is either going to refuse to leave power, die in office or leave at the end of his term. His current poll numbers are not important to him. What is important is unrestrained profiteering and kleptocracy.
Traitor Trump has always been equally obsessed with growing his wealth by any means and being admired by others.
 
The President is our leader and chief. He can call the National Guard and/or Marines to assist, and did just that.

Too bad he didn't use that authority on Jan. 6th.

Kind of makes it look like he's using the NG and the armed forces for his own benefit, and not the country's.
 
It would be within his or her right to do so. ;)

Ok then how about sending in the marines to gather everyones guns?
After all, you guys keep claiming the dems want to take all the guns away so they may as well just get on and do it.

Why would that happen? Can you give me specifics? Now you are just totally grasping at straws. Although I do find it very entertaining. :ROFLMAO:
