... three Republican National Convention delegates. Each gave the president strong marks and largely approved of his controversial moves on immigration, cabinet picks and even what one  called his habit to "tweet before he thinks.". Long Branch resident David Cohen. (Photo: Mike Davis). "I signed up for Twitter just because he's on it," said Jackson resident Stephen De Marzo, 54, who compared the tweets to former President Franklin D. Roosevelt's "fireside chats" during World War II. The local sampling, however discrete, is representative of Trump's GOP support across the nation. About 86 percent of Republicans approved of Trump in a recent Gallup Poll. Democrats? Not so much. Just 12 percent of Democrats approve of his job performance so far; 41 percent of independents approved. Overall, his approval rating sat at 52 percent. The survey, however, was taken before this week's revelations over the Trump team's alleged dealings with Russia. MORE: 3 Trump supporters, 3 protesters sound off.

Fact-checking Donald Trump's Press Conference

... reverses more cases than it affirms, 70 percent on average, because the cases that it chooses to take on are often disputed among the lower courts, complex and problematic. Mostly False: Media has "a lower approval rate than Congress.". Assailing media coverage of his administration, Trump told the assembled reporters, "You have a lower approval rate than Congress, I think that's right, I don't know.". Congress actually ranks below the news media, according to surveys from three different research groups spanning several years. In two polls, mistrust in the media broke 40 percent, which is hardly anything to brag about. But in those studies, mistrust in Congress was over 50 percent. Trump had a point that the media has a trust issue, but he was incorrect to rank them lower than Congress. This claim is Mostly False. Mostly True: Trump says stock market record high shows optimism. Trump, saying he will create jobs as president, cited the stock market highs as a sign of a promising business environment. "The stock market has hit record numbers, as you know. And there has been a tremendous surge of optimism in the business world," he ...

A Very Early Look At The Battle For The House In 2018

... or as many as 73. Democrats could end up on the upper end of that scale, if nearly every person who dislikes the president votes for the Democratic candidate in their House election. We have, after all, seen an increasingly strong relationship between how people feel about the president and how they vote for Congress. But Democrats could also just as easily fall short of a majority. They may not do a good job of recruiting top-notch candidates. In 2016, Democrats didn’t even field a candidate in 29 districts, including in Republican Rep. Pete Sessions’s district in Texas, even as Hillary Clinton beat Trump there. There’s also the issue of district lines. The way district lines are currently drawn benefits Republicans by distributing GOP voters more efficiently than Democratic voters. So, all else being equal, we would probably expect Republicans to win more seats than Trump’s ...

Trump (@real Donald Trump) February 6, 2017. “The stock market has hit record numbers.”. This is a flip-flop for Trump. Before he was elected, he dismissed the stock-market performance under President Barack Obama as “artificial” and “a bubble,” as Sopan Deb of The New York Times noted. Oh, NOW President Trump is a fan of the stock market: __link__/Pn Iie NV 8 ng. — Sopan Deb (@Sopan Deb) February 16, 2017. “Plants and factories are already starting to move back into the United States, and big league — Ford, General Motors, so many of them.”. Trump keeps giving himself credit for business decisions made before he became president. Ford’s decision has more to do with the company’s long-term goal — particularly its plans to invest in electric vehicles — than with the administration. Here’s what Ford chief executive Mark Fields said about the company’s decision to abandon plans to open a factory in Mexico: “The reason that we are ...

... research officer. “The slate of bad news for the administration is catching up to him, although it’s important to note that his approval rating remains sky-high among people who voted for him in November.”. By Ben White. The numbers come at the most difficult time in Trump’s young presidency. In the past few days, Trump forced Michael Flynn, his national security adviser, to resign after news reports revealed that prior to Trump’s inauguration he discussed lifting sanctions on Russia with that country’s ambassador — and subsequently misled Vice President Mike Pence. The FBI questioned Flynn in the White House days after Trump took the White House, and in the hours before his resignation, Trump staffers like Kellyanne Conway said Flynn had the full trust of the president. Outside the palace intrigue, voters are tiring of some of ...

How Low Can Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Go

... of the job Trump is doing as president while 43 percent approve, for a net approval rating of -7. In Gallup’s polling , Trump’s net approval is -10. So what next? At the end of Trump’s first 100 days, where will his approval rating be? As part of our First 100 Days forecasting tournament , conducted in partnership with Good Judgment, forecasters were asked this question: “What will Gallup report President Trump’s net approval rating to be on 28 April 2017?”. Forecasters can choose from three options: below -15, between -15 and +15, or above +15. For comparison, President Barack Obama was at +22 in Gallup’s last poll. Here is a graph of the forecast. Forecasters believe the “middle” outcome is most likely, giving Trump a 72 percent chance of having a net approval rating between -15 and +15. They believe Trump has very little chance (6 percent) of attaining a more positive rating than +15. In fact, the forecasters give Trump about a 1-in-5 chance (22 percent) of ending his first 100 days in office with a net approval rating below -15. It is interesting too that there have not been sharp swings in the forecast, ...

Are Trump’s Low Approval Ratings ‘fake News’? I Looked At The Evidence

... president since polling began. But can we take polls at face value in the Trump era? After all, election polls in most states failed dismally in November, substantially underestimating how well Trump performed on Election Day. What if this means that current surveys are similarly miscalculating support for Trump and his policies. That’s the suggestion made by none other than the president himself Monday, when he cast aspersion on recent negative poll findings by evoking the failure of polling in the general election. Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election. Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting. — Donald J. Trump (@real Donald Trump) February 6, 2017. Why might opinion surveys be selling the president’s popularity short? Trump has faced unprecedented levels of scorn from society’s tastemakers — whether they be newspaper editorial boards , celebrities or his fellow Republican elected officials. The hypothesis is that “shy Trump voters” react to this ...

A Deep Dive Into Donald Trump's Approval Rating

... Americans apply most readily are “stands up for what he believes in,” (44 percent), “can get things done” (38 percent), and tough enough for the job“ (36 percent). At the opposite end of the spectrum, traits like ”honest and trustworthy“ (17 percent), ”shares your values“ (20 percent), ”inspires confidence“ (21 percent) and ”cares about people like you” (22 percent) received far fewer selections. Of course, a significant number (41 percent) apply “none” of these positive qualities to Trump. Among Democrats and Americans who disapprove of Trump’s performance as president, few are willing to associate any positive traits to the new president. Among Trump’s soft supporters, the gap is especially pronounced between an appreciation for his outspoken toughness and desire to get things done, on the one hand, and a lack of honesty, empathy and the ability to inspire on the other. Better than two thirds (68 percent) of those who only somewhat approve of the President say he stands up for his beliefs, and almost as many say he is tough enough for the job (60 percent) and can get things done (59 percent). The soft approvers are far less confident, however, about his ability to ...
