Trump approval rating has sharpest drop in presidency, big gender gap in Gallup poll

WASHINGTON — A new Gallup poll released on Thursday shows the biggest drop ever in ratings for President Donald Trump and reflects the consistent gender gap in approval between men and women.

The poll, conducted between April 1 and April 14 with a margin of error of 4%, shows that 43% of people surveyed approve of Trump’s job as president while 54% disapprove.

Gallup’s previous poll found that 49% of respondents approved of Trump’s job performance while 45% disapproved.

“The six-point decline in the president’s approval rating is the sharpest drop Gallup has recorded for the Trump presidency so far, largely because Trump’s ratings have been highly stable,” Justin McCarthy of Gallup wrote.

FiveThirtyEight’s aggregate of polling shows Trump with a 44% approval rating and 52% disapproval rating among likely or registered voters. Trump experienced a spike in approval in late March as the U.S. began to grapple with a sudden increase in confirmed coronavirus cases — but that approval increase has since declined in April, the aggregate of polling shows.

The narrative seemed set: After a brief surge of public support for President Donald Trump in the early days of America's fight against the coronavirus, his approval numbers had settled back into the low 40s.
Right? Right.
Except that in Gallup's latest two-week tracking poll, Trump's job approval is back to 49% -- matching the highest it's ever been -- while his disapproval is at 47%.
That marks a 6-point improvement on Trump's approval number from the last Gallup tracking poll. And that improvement comes exclusively from independents -- 47% of whom now approve of the job Trump is doing, the best he has ever done among that group in Gallup polling. (He was at 38% approval among indies in the last Gallup tracker.)






I figured I'd give our little club an update on this since there was no way in hell you were going to, Ted.

BTW, my earlier predictions that 44% were his new floor seemed to have been right as well, since the aggregate never dipped below 44.3% during this last downturn, and nowhere near the lows in the low 40's during the height of the fake impeachment, or the high 30's that Trump had seen during late 2017.



As of May 6th, Trump now has his best looking Gallup poll to date, and his RCP aggregate is at 44.6%.



You better be hoping that a LOT of people die now that states are reopening.

I know you'd never say it out loud, Ted, but make no mistake that I know you are secretly wanting it to happen.

Eh, the Trumps aren't exactly a hugsy kissy family. Donald won't catch anything from Ivanka.

I wonder about all the secret service people who tested positive myself, as well as Pence's spokesperson and Trump's military manservant. Didn't any of them take precautions in their personal lives? Or did they catch it on the job?

Trump is not responding to Russian 2020 Election Interference.

When Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas), an ardent Trump partisan whom the president has nominated to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, was testifying this week at his Senate confirmation hearing, he noted several times that Russia was covertly intervening in the ongoing 2020 election. This produced no thunderclap headlines. And here’s the big question: Why the hell not? Moscow is again attacking American democracy, and there’s not much fuss about it. Certainly not a peep from the president, who benefited from Vladimir Putin’s clandestine intercession four years ago.

One reason why Ratcliffe’s remarks provoked no uproar is that it is, sadly, somewhat old news, for this information has been previously and publicly stated—or understated—by US officials. Last month, when the Senate Intelligence Committee released a report confirming the intelligence community’s assessment that Moscow attacked the 2016 election to help Trump, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the top Democrat on the committee, noted there was “no reason to doubt that the Russians’ success in 2016 is leading them to try again in 2020.” In an appendix to that report, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) referred to “ongoing attacks” on the United States from Russia. And in a recent interview with Mother Jones, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), chair of the House Intelligence Committee, remarked that “Russian interference” in American politics was continuing. Intelligence officials in February warned Schiff and other House members that Russia was messing with the 2020 campaign to help Trump get reelected—a briefing that was leaked to the public—but, Schiff said, since then the Trump administration has been withholding from Congress intelligence on these Russian efforts.

Those who know of this threat owe it to the public to be blaring warnings—and to tell the citizenry what is happening and what is being done or can be done to thwart Moscow.

Of course, the person with the greatest responsibility for doing so will not. Trump has long dismissed or discounted the Kremlin’s 2016 attack.

President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, or his lack of a plan to do so, has been almost universally criticized, and while Trump has been obviously angry at the criticism, none of it managed to spur him into real action until Barack Obama weighed in. Not that he took action to improve the nation’s response, of course—instead, he demanded the prosecution of his predecessor.

On May 9, CNN reported that Obama had labeled Trump’s pandemic response “an absolute chaotic disaster” the day before, on a call with alumni of his administration. Early the next morning, as part of a long string of Mother’s Day tweets—as these rants exceed themselves, it’s become more and more difficult to find superlatives to adequately describe them—Trump retweeted a user who had mentioned “Obamagate.” The term has quickly become part of Trump’s vernacular, with 13 subsequent uses, including two yesterday.

Precisely what Trump is alleging against Obama is obscure, and probably beside the point. Trump isn’t really interested in alleging any particular crime. The point of “Obamagate” is to try to recapture the force that propelled Trump to political prominence—questioning the legitimacy of the first black president—as he heads toward a difficult reelection campaign in the midst of a global crisis.

Trump’s political career has always revolved, perversely, around Obama. Trump transformed himself from businessman into politician by questioning whether Obama was truly an American; now in office, Trump constantly measures himself against his predecessor, and finds nothing so maddening as being criticized by Obama.

According to some interpretations of Trump’s rise in politics, his Rosebud was the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner. By then, Trump had already become the nation’s most prominent birther, espousing the racist and baseless theory that Obama was not a citizen or was not born in the United States. While most “respectable” members of the Republican Party rejected the claims or at least avoided openly endorsing them, Trump was tapping into a deep vein of racism and white identity politics in the GOP base that would later allow him to dominate the 2016 primary.

Trump was a guest at the dinner, and Obama ridiculed him during his remarks. Noting that he’d recently released his “long-form” birth certificate, Obama said Trump could “finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter—like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?”

Trump fumed as the rest of the room guffawed. (He would later end the tradition of presidential speeches at the dinner.) Confidants have since said it was the moment he decided to run for president. As president, Trump has often publicly contrasted himself to Obama, and he has sought to end policies—including the Affordable Care Act and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)—associated with Obama, even when he supports their goals.

Given that Trump’s presidency has been, to borrow a phrase, “an absolute chaotic disaster,” Obama has shown remarkable restraint in seldom criticizing Trump openly. Even his comments on the call were delivered privately, though in a way that effectively guaranteed they’d be made public. And for Trump, it seemed to have been the 2011 dinner all over again: Here was the black president, laughing at him, and it was too much to take. The result has been several days of hyperventilation about Obama, including a demand yesterday that the Senate call him to testify.

The coronavirus recession will cause Trump to suffer a "historic defeat" in November, a national election model released Wednesday by Oxford Economics predicted.

The model, which uses unemployment, disposable income and inflation to forecast election results, predicts that Trump will lose in a landslide, capturing just 35% of the popular vote. That's a sharp reversal from the model's pre-crisis prediction that Trump would win about 55% of the vote. And it would be the worst performance for an incumbent in a century.

"It would take nothing short of an economic miracle for pocketbooks to favor Trump," Oxford Economics wrote in the report, adding that the economy will be a "nearly insurmountable obstacle for Trump come November."

The model has correctly predicted the popular vote in every election since 1948 other than 1968 and 1976 (although two candidates lost the popular vote but won the presidency in that span, including George W. Bush in 2000 and Donald Trump in 2016).

The President Still Has No Clothes.

Why does our public commentary about Donald Trump’s words and deeds so seldom start or finish with the honest observation, familiar from fairy tales, that “he isn’t wearing any clothes”? This unwillingness to mention the nakedness of his character, the absence of what is practically and morally required of presidents, becomes an act of draping layers of cloth over an unadorned and oblivious leader.

The coronavirus has made Trump’s deficiencies more apparent. Expressing his skepticism about the utility of widespread coronavirus testing, President Donald Trump recently said: “When you test, you find something is wrong. With people.”

We may never have the tests to determine exactly what is wrong with Trump himself. But we know that something is wrong, and we have known this for a long time. We know that he fails to exhibit emotional qualities we reasonably expect of a leader, particularly in times of crisis. The truth is that one doesn’t need a Ph.D. in clinical psychology to observe and record the ordinary human behaviors the president hasn’t mastered.

Anyone and everyone charged with reporting on this president should make a fundamental commitment that describing or interpreting this president’s statements and actions must highlight, on an ongoing and even repetitive basis, what they don’t see. Reporters, public intellectuals, and pundits should stop filling in Trump’s gaps for him and should allow as full a picture as possible to emerge of his cognitive and personal incompleteness. Not doing so explicitly has resulted in four years of rationalizing, contextualizing, and indeed—in popular parlance—“normalizing” a president few of us would trust to take care of a pet over the weekend.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.


There are competing narratives galloping towards the finish line. One is the Biden/ Burisma story. If anyone thought it was over, the Ukrainians are still pursuing investigations, as is the GOP in the Senate. Of course, all that could be avoided by avoiding Joe ... but that makes too much sense. Unless something happens to stop this in its tracks, expect this story to surge forward in September or October.

What could save Trump? A faster-than-expected economic rebound and lower-than-normal turnout among Democratic voters, the model indicates.

Another narrative galloping towards the finish line is Pelosi's 'Impeachment, Part Deux'.

I think votes can be bought: A month ago, the U.S. had thrown more than $6 trillion at the coronavirus crisis. That number could grow. Between Congress and the Federal Reserve, the government has committed record levels to try to stop an economic calamity.

The National Debt is $25.4 trillion. $6 trillion might be enough to vastly improve voters' opinion of Trump. Maybe it is more accurate to call it a bribe from Trump: Vote for Trump because he gave you cash. It wasn't his cash; it was really borrowed from voters, but how many voters will understand that? A very small percentage. See the facts about the National Debt www.justfacts.com/nationaldebt.asp

Falsely Citing Fraud, President Ratchets Up Attacks on Mail Voting

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday escalated his assault against mail voting, falsely claiming that Michigan and Nevada were engaged in voter fraud and had acted illegally, and threatening to withhold federal funds to those states if they proceed in expanding vote-by-mail efforts.

The president inaccurately accused Michigan of sending mail ballots to its residents, as his aides later acknowledged, and he offered no basis for his claims of illegal actions by either Michigan or Nevada. The Michigan secretary of state has sent ballot applications — not the ballots themselves — to registered voters, a growing practice among election officials, including in states led by Republicans.
www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Falsely-Citing-Fraud-President-R
atchets-Up-15284798.php


Why would Trump falsely attack voting? He explained in March to Fox News that Republicans would ‘never’ be elected again if it was easier to vote.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/30/trump-republican-party-voting-
reform-coronavirus


Donald Trump has admitted that proposed measures to make it easier for Americans to vote - including mail-voting - would make it harder for the Republican party to win an election.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


I don't think Elizabeth Warren is popular enough to carry Biden to victory. Besides, there will be a lot of evidence of Biden corruption to make winning a serious problem. Did you know there were a series of phone call recordings between Biden and Poroshenko that were leaked recently, and in these phone calls Biden is squeezing Poroshenko to fire the person who was investigating Burisma, and if not Ukraine wouldn't get its billion dollars?

Talk about a quid pro quo!

Of course the M$M won't carry these stories, or will downplay them, but Biden is just as rotten as Hillary and probably more so than Trump, and quite posibly even more demented. I think over time these stories will add up.


People are predicting that some "white knight" will be selected to replace Biden, and altho Hillary might be be itching for the job Michelle Obama's name has been swirling around.

This thread is all about speculation so I thought I'd add to the mix!

Trump advisers warn McSally is in trouble

Trump himself said he was concerned about McSally, according to three people familiar with the discussion. His political advisers told McConnell about recent survey numbers in Arizona and stressed she was losing to Democrat and former astronaut Mark Kelly.

Picking Warren would be catastrophic for Biden.

He's already going to be destroyed in the debates by Trump. A Pence vs. Warren debate would be almost as entertaining.


Since he backed himself into the Woman corner, the only legitimate pick he has that won't hurt his already deeply troubled campaign would be Klobuchar.

'D' doods.

I think the secret to Trump's success is that he feeds off of hyperpartisanship that's so extreme neither side can think straight. The secret to winning isn't MORE hyperpsartisanship, but anti-hyperpartisanship.

The 'D' who can win is the 'D' who can break that mindset. And I don't think that's Biden.
