Trump at Six Months - Record Low Approval Rating

[Adre]

It's like praising the dog because he shit on the wood floor instead of the shag carpet.

 

[sr71plt]

We're the ones who "hate"?

Ayop, you are. Just another thing you're blind to.

 

[sr71plt]

He "lies" less than most politicians.

Bullshit. And,my, doesn't he have you well trained in blatant lying?

 

[HisArpy]

So you decided to take me off ignore did you.

That's not what your link says. It says that that 23% feel he is performing worse than expected, 19% better than expected and 56% as expected. The soft bigotry of low expectations isn't anything to crow about or rely on.

You have perception issues apparently.

I lurk without logging in so I see everything even if someone is on ignore.

Apparently you've decided to ignore facts and instead try some canned deflection.

Hillary LOST. Where's your comeback to that piece of fact which doesn't deflect because you can't accept it?

YOU are the party of changing definitions and terminology. Deny it only if you want to prove you're a liar. YOU are the party of suppressed speech in the name of liberty for only those who agree with your agenda.

As for the poll results; you need to learn math. Of the 100% of the respondents to the poll, ONLY 23% think he's under-performing. Leaving 75% to think he's doing ok.

That actually IS something to crow about given the negativity of the press and idiot progs who can only spew hatred and bias.

Adre: At least it's better than beating the dog for doing what's natural because you ignored the fact that you're supposed to let him outside once in awhile. So whose fault is it really?

Yes she did lose. So why are you bringing her into it? I've not mentioned her.

Trump is the president. And as such, as is appropriate, is under the microscope.

You make the mistake of conflating "okay" with "as expected".

So you're happy with less than mediocre. Considering that less than 40% of Americans approve of his job performance, you are in the minority.

 

[HisArpy]

Yes she did lose. So why are you bringing her into it? I've not mentioned her.

BULLSHIT DEFLECTION! you are the person who said that "we" can't accept news "we" didn't like. So, explain exactly HOW "but she won the popular vote" isn't the same thing? And how "but Russia!" isn't the same thing as well.

Trump is the president. And as such, as is appropriate, is under the microscope.

Once again, a purely bullshit deflection. YOU are the party which choses to ignore legal definitions and skirt the laws. CNN's Acosta's Statue of Liberty reference is a perfect example of how you inject the meaningless into a discussion as if it were somehow some sort of fact in order to obfuscate and confuse the issues. This is merely more of the same - you change the language you use in order to conveniently change the focus of the discussion. whether Trump is under the microscope or not has NOTHING to do with the fact that you won't accept that Hillary lost.

You make the mistake of conflating "okay" with "as expected".

I make no mistake. "As expected" means exactly what it says. ONLY 19% think things are going to hell in a handbasket. Then there's this:

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/24/tru...gan-and-most-other-republican-presidents.html

If the market is "the best ever" in Trump's first 100 days, then that's a pretty good indicator that those who think he's doing "as expected" means more than "okay". The only ones who seem to think otherwise are those who like to change the definitions of well established words.

So you're happy with less than mediocre. Considering that less than 40% of Americans approve of his job performance, you are in the minority.

There is NOTHING "mediocre" about the first 6 months of the Trump Presidency. The stock market is booming and has added (I think) 3.4 billion to the wealth of America, jobs are up - over a million new jobs since Jan, unemployment is down and the GDP is over 2% (I think it's 2.6%).

If you think that's mediocre, exactly what do you have to say about the Obama economy which reported a dismal 8 years of <1%? Oh wait, you're a Dem or a prog who likes to re-define terms. I guess that means that stagnation is defined as wonderful to you instead of pond scum levels of inactivity.

Your political acumen is pathetic. It's all one-sided and nothing but lies and deflection. But, rather than fix your deficiencies, you'll just continue to cry "he's not my president" as if that means something.

Perhaps I missed something.. wanna tell me where you got that?

Asked to make their own comparison, half of Americans say Trump is doing a worse job than most previous presidents, vs. 23 percent who say he’s doing better (including 38 percent “much” worse vs. 17 percent “much” better). The rest, 24 percent, say he’s performing about the same as his predecessors in general.

Just 36 percent of Americans polled in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll approve of Trump’s job performance, down 6 points from his 100-day mark, itself a low.


Not to mention the 58 percent disapprove.




Care to enlighten me?

 

[sr71plt]

But Obama . . . but Hillary . . .

 

[Hypoxia]

It's like praising the dog because he shit on the wood floor instead of the shag carpet.

But he PROMISED to only shit outside!

Meanwhile... has anyone a poll of voters who regret the vote they cast?

Tromp's popular-vote loss matters. Ten million more people voted against rather than for Tromp. His approval rating is in the toilet -- which means there's little popular support for what he says he wants done. He hasn't the muscle to force legislators to commit political suicide by backing shit that 80% of their constituents hate. He doesn't scare Congress. He ain't got-em by the balls -- so their hearts and minds are elsewhere. What a wimp!

Hillary won the vote and lost the game. Tromp won the game but can't force others to play the way he wants. What a pickle!

Alas, his options all suck -- for the rest of us. The easiest way to inject fear into Congress is with some horrendous shit like attacking Korea or faking a coup attempt or insurrection, something to justify martial law and mass detentions. Don't think it can't happen.

There is NOTHING "mediocre" about the first 6 months of the Trump Presidency. The stock market is booming and has added (I think) 2 Trillion to the wealth of America, jobs are up, unemployment is down and the GDP is over 2%. If you think that's mediocre, exactly what do you have to say about the Obama economy which reported a dismal 8 years of <1%? Oh wait, you're a Dem or a prog who likes to re-define terms.

It's ridiculous to think that any of trumps policies have created any boom.. he hasn't had any.

The obama administration, without the benefit of ANY gop assistance helped keep this country from a possible depression.


Here's the obstruction article that has never really been addressed by any of the right wingers here.

http://swampland.time.com/2012/08/23/the-party-of-no-new-details-on-the-gop-plot-to-obstruct-obama/


The Bush administration policies led to a near catastrophe.. Giving Obama credit for fixing it is a bit over the top, but it happened on his watch.. and has been shown here time and time again, that's all that matters...........Right?

The poll clearly shows the results as:
19% better than expected.
23% worse than expected
56% as expected
3% no opinion

Majority in U.S. Say Trump Performing About as They Expected
Overall, has Donald Trump done better than you expected as president, worse than you expected or about as you expected?
Better than expected Worse than expected As expected Other/No opinion
% % % %
U.S. adults 19 23 56 3
Republicans 37 5 57 1
Independents 18 25 53 4
Democrats 4 38 57 1
Gallup, April 21-22, 2017

So I have no idea where you are getting your numbers.

But will the Generals and Admirals go along with a hare-brained scheme? I'm not so sure.

I got my numbers from the poll, in the op. They're right there. 36 percent approve, 58 percent disapprove.

The other bit I copied was from the OP as well.

I didn't bring in another poll, like you did.

 

[Adre]

The poll clearly shows the results as:
19% better than expected. So he did better than lousy.
23% worse than expected. So he did worse than lousy.
56% as expected. So he did lousy.
3% no opinion.

Impressive.

Sooo... me talking about Trump in a thread about Trump and specifically about his approval rating is deflection. But you bringing up HRC in a Trump thread is not. I said she lost. What more do I need to say?

Besides to reiterate that you have perception issues.

And apparently some emotional self control issues.

Yes Hillary lost. Fly it on a banner. Stitch it on a pillow. Crochet it in a blanket. Write it in paint on your wall. None of that changes the fact that less than 40% of the American public approve of the job that Trump is doing. You seem to have a problem with that. Perhaps you should express your concern to the man himself so he can make gains with the American public?

I see that you follow the deflect when you can't argue facts ideology.

Facts are that the economy is doing well. Consumer confidence is up. Lending is up. Housing prices are up. Jobs are up. Stock Market is up.

NONE OF THAT happened because of anything Obama did. If that were the case we'd have had 8 years of actual growth instead of <1% of nothing. It's amazing that once Trump was in office and repealed some of the over-burdensome regulations of the Obama administration, BUSINESS started running again. Imagine that.

Just TALK of immigration crackdown has reduced illegal immigration to almost nothing.

TALK of tax reform has gotten the attention of big business and Wall St. For big gains.

Even the failed attempts to repeal ObamaCare have generated confidence that it will be fixed enough to allow businesses to add employees and expand their market share.

As far as the helping the failed economy goes, Obama did NOTHING that Bush didn't do. He continued the bailout from the Fed. So, if you want to claim that the bailout kept the country from outright bankruptcy, you'd BETTER give the credit to Bush. Or join your crying & lying buddies at the spilt milk puddle.

Your sarcasm fails to point out your own hypocrisy.

Deflection is king. If you can't argue facts, deflect. YOU raised the issue, not me. Saying otherwise is a lie. Par for the course with you.

I have no self control issues which most normal people don't also have. I can be as calm as the next guy. Or as frustrated by idiots and liars.

But rather than engage in any further ad hominem let us talk FACTS.

38% of Americans approve of the job that Trump is doing. Amazing. What's even MORE AMAZING is that Obama's approval rating wasn't much better. The far right column in the chart shows that Obama consistently polled with a disapproval rating in the high 40's to mid 50% range. So, really the difference is only around 10%. That's not bad considering all the fake news and phony political propaganda the Left is producing constantly.

[HisArpy]

Impressive.

At least I quoted the actual source and results without interjecting my own personal viewpoint into it.

Unlike some... Adre.

 

[zipman]

No. He doesn't. He lies as a matter of course. About just about everything. You trying to claim otherwise is just more of this Trump knee jerk defense bullshit.

Again, that you don't see this and keep defending him just demonstrates to me how much you have let your hate warp you.

It's comical at how they cling to this narrative as if denying it matters in the face of facts.

Joe Walsh actually praised Trump for being honest about his lying.

Trump averages making false or misleading statements 4 times a day.

His followers are sad and desperate to cling to the false bill of goods he sold him.

You brought HRC up. Not me. I don't know why you're babbling on about deflection at this point. I already admitted - in a Trump thread - that HRC lost the election. After never having made the argument that she had won the election.

Yes. Trump has the base. +1 or 2%. The same group that self admittedly would not have any problem with Donald shooting someone in the street roughly.

Your frustration should be aimed at the man in the white house. Not the pollsters and not me. Does the buck stop at his desk or not? Is he the president or is he not? Is he responsible or is he not?

I don't know why you're tripping at me dude.

Because otherwise they would have to admit that Trump is a complete ass clown who is incapable of telling the truth and has become a domestic and international laughing stock.
