CNN poll: 56% approve Trump's handling of economy

Bad news for Democrats. GREAT NEWS FOR PATRIOTIC AMERICANS! While the dems fight over which terrible candidate will go up against President Trump, the economy is moving along at 3.2% growth. This could be like the Reagan Mondale 1984 campaign. Best you can do is try to salvage the down ballot.

Now imagine if that worthless body(Congress) approved USMCA and actually collaborated with the President. That however requires patriotism that this body does not possess.

 

In b4 “ya but that’s only helping the 1%”

 

Any other POTUS (with this sort of booming economy) would be a shoo-in for Re-Election (the whole "It's the economy, stupid" thing).

But, in Trump's case (a mistakenly-elected, thoroughly unqualified misogynist Twitter troll, embraced by White Supremacists) he will actually have a contest on his hands.

 

That sissy Trump hasn't got the courage to tell Putin to get the **** out of our business and you think I'm supposed to be excited about this.....lol

 

Regrets over the outcome of your preferred candidate.

 

According to the same poll democrats have their lowest approval rating since right after 9/11..... womp womp

 

The question is, will liking how Trump has handled the economy overcome quite a lot of voters dislike for him personally? RCP shows Trump's approval on the Economy at 54.0 approval to 41.6% disapproval.

But on Trump's overall job performance, RCP shows 43.6% approval, 53.0% disapproval.

There's a huge disconnect there. An almost 12 point disconnect. Today, these numbers are just about where they were last November when Democrats rode a blue wave to regain control of the house. I think it is all about Trump's obnoxious personality and his uncouth behavior more suited for a wrestler in the WWE than as someone who resides in the White House.

Trump is viewed favorable by 41% of all Americans, unfavorable by 53%. Question 41A.

31% of all Americans like Trump, 47% dislike Trump, question 51.

36% want Trump to run for reelection, 50% do not, question 58

History has shown that folks usually do not vote for someone they dislike. Probably worst for Trump is half of all Americans don't want him to seek a second term. Trump may be well liked or appreciated for the economy, it's everything else they don't like. I don't think Trump can overcome the personal dislike of him even with a good economy. The only thing that might save Trump if he runs again is that the Democrats make the same mistake they did in 2016. Nominate a candidate America as a whole dislike as much as they dislike Trump.

 

Sure. Trump is Putin's puppet, right?

 

That's very wishful thinking. Incombant Presidents have an advantage. They usually win reelection unless the economy is in the Tank (Jimmy Carter).

Plus look at all the terrible line up the Democrats have. People will not trade in a socialist for Trump. Not gonna happen.

 

That means nothing!!!
Trump is a sissy who doesn't have the balls to confront Putin.
Why so passive? Remember this is the guy who denied that John McCain is a hero, and trash talked gold star families. And the right wing conservatives bend over for Russia, I'm disgusted with my fellow Americans!!!

 

Perhaps, but I think as in Nov of 2018, Trump's personality will be the deciding factor. That is if the Democrats nominate a decent candidate. The Democratic Party is still the larger of the two major parties. All the Democrats have to do is nominate a candidate attractive to the independent voter to where the Democrats can come up with close to a split. Independents put Trump into the White House going for him over Hillary Clinton. Independents also gave the Democrats control of the house in 2018 going to the democrats by a 54-42 margin. Also remember that back in 2016, 12% of all independents voted third party, they voted against both Trump and Clinton. I have no reason to believe that all of a sudden, those 12% will fall in love with Trump. His main hope is that they continue to vote third party.

Go back to question 41A, 35% of independents have a favorable view of Trump, 54% unfavorable. Question 58, 30% of independents want Trump to run for reelection, 49% do not.

Trump must win the independent vote, if he doesn't, he's a goner as the Republican base is smaller than the Democratic one. But like I said earlier, the Democrats could blow it by nominating someone more disliked than Trump or someone like Hillary, who independents really, really disliked. Speaking of 2016, 40% of independents election day viewed Trump favorable, 57% unfavorable. But only 27% of independents had a favorable view of Hillary, 70% unfavorable. This enable Trump to win the independent vote 46-42 over Hillary with 12% voting third party. Against both major party candidates. Keep in mind, even though Trump won the independent vote, 54% still voted against him.

Whom the Democrats nominate will probably decide who wins in 2020.

 

He's bold enough to say they need to get out of Venezuela.

 

Did you not read the list in the quotation box? What would you like, nuclear war with Russia?

 

What would suffice for you? Should Trump whip out a white glove and challenge Putin to a duel ala Aaron burr

 

Good luck.

 

I'd prefer he not roll over and take it in the pooper. Why are you so willing to capitulate?

 

Ummm...

 

Which is why it was treasonous for wimpy Obama to sell Russia our uranium.

 

Meh, off topic anyways. Is that the problem, triggered by a positive Trump poll with CNN as the source?

 

Is "Nancy pants" homophobic? I remember my first beer.

 

When most of the country is bombarded on a regular basis by negative spin coverage painting him as badly as legally possible, what do you expect.

It’s the reason Obama got elected 2X. The MSM did their best to hide all negativity. The ONLY way you heard anything remotely resembling criticism was on FOX or talk radio. Otherwise the guy was the second coming. So if that’s all you heard or read, that’s all you thought. Those who got a more well
balanced version of reality saw the positive AND the negative. And with Trump there truly are positives. His delivery is still too much for some people but he is not doing a BAD job. Realty proves this.

But if all you watch is CNN or all you read is the NYT, then you’re obviously going to have a negative opinion because that’s all they’re feeding you. It’s been studied. It’s PROVEN. Most of the MSM only reports negatively about Trump. Somewhere around 90%. It’s by design. It’s coordinated. It’s strategic. AND it’s WRONG. It’s morally corrupt. It’s fake news.

Sure Trumps personality sucks. But sometimes that’s not the only piece of the puzzle. I wasn’t blind or stupid enough to not see the good Obama brought to the table. But I also could see the bad because I wasn’t blind.

 

I just go by the numbers. It's the democrats you need to wish good luck. Right now outside of the economy, all the other number aren't good for Trump. Basically, they almost the same as they were in November of 2018 and we both know what happened then.

It's too early to make a forecast or prediction. It'd be useless until we know whom the Democrats nominate anyway. Every sitting president who won reelection has had an overall job approval rating of above 50%. Ford sat at 45% overall job approval and lost, Carter 37%, lost, G.H.W. Bush at 40%, lost. Trump sits at 43% today according to RCP.

 

Trump was disliked by 60% of all Americans on election day, the only reason he won was the Democrats nominate someone almost as disliked by America as a whole as Trump was. Hillary was disliked by 58% of all America. So will the democrats make that same mistake in 2020 as they did in 2016?

I don't know the answer to that. This is why I say 2020 all depends on whom the Democrats nominate. I think we all should remember our elections are basically beauty contests. Usually the candidate with the most charisma wins. 2016 was an election between obnoxious and a wet mop. Neither candidate had charisma.

Now Obama had charisma, he won twice over less charismatic candidates McCain and Romney. Bush didn't have that much charisma, but he came across as down home folk. Neither Gore and Kerry did, they were basically statues.

Bill Clinton is another candidate who had charisma, all over G.H.W. and Dole. Reagan had it, Mondale and Carter didn't. Another thing to remember, in 2016 Hillary had all the baggage, she was the known commodity. Perhaps too well known. Trump was a newcomer which few knew much if anything about him. In 2020, it will be Trump with the baggage, the known commodity.

 

Didn't happen. Why do you even try.
Trump can't stand on his own toughness, so you try to bring down others, just to make him look better. Bit it's a complete fail. Trump went straight sissy when WE needed him to be tough, he will be judged for his decisions not Obama's. Why do you support Russian interference in American politics?
Ah comrade.
