Rasmussen Reports said the figures include 36% who said they strongly approve and 41% who strongly disapprove.

Trump's job performance numbers improved steadily after August 2017, reaching a total approval of 50% for April 2019, the pollster said. During the pandemic, his numbers dropped as low as 45% for June 2020. By comparison, President Obama's monthly approval ran from a high of 59% in February 2009, his first full month in the White House, to a low of 44% in August and October of 2011.

Rasmussen anticipated its 51% approval figure would invited "doubters."

IBD had Trump's final approval at 42%, CNN at 34%, ABC at 38%, Pew at 29% and Morning Consult at 34%.

Rasmussen surveys likely voters and weights its sample 38% Democrat, 36% Republican and 26% independent.

IBD, however, polls registered voters, instead of likely voters, and is weighted 40% Democrat, 30% Republican and 30% independent.

To reach those who don't have a landline, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel.

Throw your emojis out all you want. Dems don't have anyone to blame anymore. Be prepared to defend your vote. 

A saner poll...https://news.gallup.com/poll/328637/last-trump-job-approval-average-record-low.aspx  34%

And, a much more accurate one...https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/01/20/how-we-know-the-drop-in-trumps-approval-rating-in-january-reflected-a-real-shift-in-public-opinion/ 29%

 

Rasmussen trying to prop up Trump for future endeavors...it's kinda sad for them.
