A new nationwide Zogby poll of likely voters showed President Donald Trump's job approval standing at 48 percent, with his popularity growing among millennials, where he registered an approval of 50 percent, as opposed to voters age 65 and up, where he came in at 44 percent.

The president's job approval was strongest in the east and south regions of the country, each at 52 percent approval. Men were more likely to approve of his job at 56 percent than women, where he scored 41 percent, although Trump's numbers among women were up from the month before.

When it came to race, Trump registered highest among white voters at 56 percent, while Hispanic voters gave him 39 percent and African American voters gave him 16 percent.

Republicans were more likely to approve of Trump's job at 87 percent, while his numbers climbed with Independents at 41 percent and Democrats, 20 percent.

Trump's approval rating matches that of former President Barack Obama at the same point in his presidency, Zogby noted.

Another Zogby poll showed that a majority of voters, 56 percent, want to support their 2nd Amendment right to bear arms when they hear Hollywood celebrities speak out against gun control. The strongest support was among millennials age 18-29, who registered 65 percent.

Support for the right to bear arms was strong among Hispanics at 54 percent, with African Americans at 46 percent support. White voters registered highest with 59 percent support.

Along party lines, Republicans scored highest with 86 percent in support, but Democrats and Independents both came in with 47 percent support.

According to the pollster, the numbers showed that as the fall midterm elections draw near, the gun debate "could be a tricky strategy for Democrats looking to take back power in both houses of Congress."

The polls were conducted at the end of February and had a margin of error of ± 3.3 percent.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

Monday, April 02, 2018

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove.

The latest figures include 33% who Strongly Approve of the way the president is performing and 39% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -6. (see trends).

Trump’s overall job approval rating is now running ahead of where Barack Obama’s was at this stage of his presidency.  

Regular updates are posted Monday through Friday at 9:30 a.m.  Eastern (sign up for free daily email update).

Now that Gallup has quit the field, Rasmussen Reports is the only nationally recognized public opinion firm that still tracks President Trump's job approval ratings on a daily basis. If your organization is interested in a weekly or longer sponsorship of Rasmussen Reports' Daily Presidential Tracking Poll,  please send e-mail to [email protected]  .

Who works harder – you, Congress or the president? Find out what voters think at 10:30 this morning.

Rumors are swirling around that Paul Ryan may step down as Speaker of the House of Representatives. While he is liked by a strong majority of Republicans, they wouldn’t be sad to see Ryan go.

Just 15% of all voters think Congress is doing a good or excellent job. That’s par for the course in recent years.

Most GOP voters want their party to follow Trump, not Senate Republicans

Democrats and liberal activists are angry at the Trump administration for adding a citizenship question to the upcoming 2020 U.S. Census. But two-out-of-three Americans (66%) agree that the Census should ask respondents whether they are citizens of the United States.

Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens wrote an op-ed in The New York Times  last week calling for repeal of the Second Amendment in light of the current gun control debate, but most Americans reject that idea

While some government officials and activists are calling for tighter gun control laws following the massacre at a Florida high school in February, Americans aren’t convinced stricter gun laws will reduce crime and don’t trust the government to fairly enforce those laws. By a 54% to 33% margin, Americans believe the failure of government agencies to respond to numerous warning signs from the prospective killer is more to blame for the mass shooting in Florida than a lack of adequate gun control. 

See “What They Told Us” in surveys last week.

Some readers wonder how we come up with our job approval ratings for the president since they often don’t show as dramatic a change as some other pollsters do. It depends on how you ask the question and whom you ask.

To get a sense of longer-term job approval trends for the president, Rasmussen Reports compiles our tracking data on a full month-by-month basis.

Rasmussen Reports has been a pioneer in the use of automated telephone polling techniques, but many other firms still utilize their own operator-assisted technology (see methodology).

Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Results are also compiled on a full-week basis and crosstabs for full-week results are available for Platinum Members.

Has anyone else noticed that after these types of reports come out that their will be a 6-10 billion dollar sell off that sends the stock market into a panic?  Take notice.  

or the most logical answer the trade war, Trumps attack on Amazon corp., higher interest rates coming, and more..  Some of this not Trumps fault some is.

With the overwhelming amount of negative media coverage + Trump's tendency to say/Tweet stupid things, hitting 50% is nothing short of remarkable. 

No president has been so utterly excoriated by news/entertainment/social media as Trump and, whether you think it's deserved or not, ya gotta admit the guy has remarkable staying power.

The media fawned over Obama for 8 years and ignored his corruption and scandals, yet Trump's approval rating is higher at this point in his presidency than Barry's.  America sees through the non-stop anti-Trump coverage and sees the good Trump has actually done compared to recent presidents.  It's long over due that a U.S. president put America first, and that's exactly what Trump is doing ... the media is beside themselves that their constant bashing has little effect on his approval ... I love it!

An interesting take from The Week magazine: Why Trump is more popular than ever

Quote

If we (the media) want to convince people who voted for him that the president no longer deserves their support, we need to stop talking about him. Or to be more precise, we need to stop making Trump the universal metric according to which all of human conduct is weighed and considered.

If Trump argues against free trade, consider the issue on its merits. The idea that liberalizing the production and distribution of goods and services across national borders will automatically enrich everyone — instead of just the already wealthy in rich and poor countries alike — has had its critics on the left and the right for centuries; even President Obama was skeptical of NAFTA during his first Senate campaign and as late as the 2008 election he was telling audiences that it should be renegotiated. When Trump criticizes Amazon for its monopolistic practices, don't turn it into a tedious finger-wagging exercise in fact-checking (and if you work for a newspaper owned by its founder and CEO, maybe avoid saying anything if you don't have to); subject the company to the same scrutinty you would reserve for any other giant corporation that treats America's cities as its fiefdoms and her people as its grateful serfs.

Pretending that anything the president says or does is bad because he is the one saying or doing isn't just bad journalism. You might as well be wearing a MAGA hat and whooping about the Wall.

Might show the American people are not buying the left wing medias bias

Two weeks later, still holding:

POLL: TRUMP APPROVAL 50%...  (via Drudge Report)

Even the left-leaning FiveThirtyEight has him holding at around 40 percent.

Surely after all the Stormy/Comey stuff, Trump's numbers were bound to dip. Surely.

Nope. 

Dude is still holding at 40% on left-leaning FiveThirtyEight and is back up to 51% on right-leaning Rasmussen

The vast majority of the media polls are nothing more than an attempt to sway public opinion against whatever republican is in office.  The #butthurt libtards were going to go after whatever republican won the election.  With Trump, it's the phony Russian collusion.  If it had been Ted Cruz or Rubio it would have been something else ... but they would have cooked up controversies against either or them, or any other republican ... it's what they do ... it's all they know how to do ... honest reporting and polling is practically a thing of the past ... despite all the negative reporting and dishonest polling, Trump is still has a higher approval rating than Obama at the same point in their first terms ... the libtard media can't stand it ... tru storie ....:mower:

I didn't vote for him in 2016 and, barring an adequate third-party candidate, he'll likely get my vote in '20. 

Dude seems to have chilled out on Twitter, but the media is still after his head. Bummer for them that their credibility continues to crater.

Gallup's Surprise: Trump 'Very Well Positioned' to Win Second Term

https://www.newsmax.com/premium/gallup-trump-second-term-victory/2018/04/26/id/856812/

No one knows who is running for president on each side.  Look for somebody to primary Trump on the Republican side.  Will it be a serious contender like Rubio, or somebody else trying to make a name for himself for a possible run in 2024 ?  Nikki Haley is rising in the Republican ranks pretty fast.  You know the US ambassador to the UN  who famously said, " I don't get confused. "  That was a great response to a flip flop in the White House.

Really showing your ignorance now ...

I would bet you on this.  Never underestimate the snobbish character of corporate America.  Only reason Trump won in 2016 primary was the vote was split over 16 different ways.  If Republicans have a one-on-one primary season with Trump, and it has to be a credible candidate like Rubio or someone else, Trump loses.  Ted Cruz would wipe Trump all over the place in a one-on-one primary with Trump.  Nikki Hayley would likely win too, but if all these people run for President.  Trump would win again.

With all he's done for the country and across the world I have to give him an A right now.  I didn't plan on voting for him, but will now.  Who would have thought the Korean War would finally be over after 65 years.  The economy is bounding, unemployment is down, fewer people are on food stamps, regulations have been reduced or obliterated, the fine for the ACA has been abolished, and on and on and on.  Make America Great Again 2020 !

Welp. After CNN hosts the hooker's lawyer 59 times in a two-month span, looks like it's finally working. Trump's rating has plummeted all the way down to 49%.

 

Pssst! That's still higher than Obama at this point in his presidency.

On a different but related note, Trump was just nominated by 18 members of the House for the Nobel Peace Prize.

That brings up an interesting question, though:

If Trump does win the Nobel Peace Prize, does that almost guarantee him a 2nd term?

Meh, I think it would hilarious karmically, but I'm not sure it has any bearing on 2020. The people who hate Trump are never gonna be won over. The people who love him are never gonna abandon him.

The thing that guarantees Trump a second term is the Democrats utter lack of a vision for this country.

Right now, they're against anything to do with Trump. Cool...  but Democrats aren't Republicans = they don't vote as a bloc.

Plus, Democrats need to win over moderate Independents. They're banking on Trump being radioactive. But that's not enough.

If the economy is even somewhat stable and we're not involved in some stupid overseas conflict, most regular folks aren't gonna want to rock the boat.
