Trump approval at 45%; Support among Hispanics, western and union voters jumps double digits

https://zogbyanalytics.com/news/788-...-double-digits

In our recent nationwide online survey of 1,300 likely US voters, conducted from August 4 to August 7, 2017, Zogby Analytics analyzed voters' attitudes regarding President Donald Trump's approval/disapproval rating. The margin of error for this survey was +/- 2.7 percentage points. The following percentages represent numbers combined among strongly and somewhat attributes for President Trump's approval/disapproval rating.

The President's approval rating has rebounded somewhat since our July poll. Following a series of disastrous weeks, Trump's approval numbers have moved up slightly, especially among his base and a few other sub-groups not known for their support of the president. On the heels of replacing key White House personnel, Trumps looks for a reset after 200 rather chaotic days in office. Recently, President Trump has talked tough to North Korea and has supported sanctions against the nuclear dictatorship, while also trying to reign in leaks coming out the White House. As President Trump embarks on his first vacation for the next seventeen days, he still has many battles to fight and he is in desperate need of a victory both at home and abroad.

Thought this poll wold be posted immediately on the frontpage since everyone here seems to love approval polls so much. Don't worry, I got your back guys.

So I personally don't think his approval rating is at either 33% or 45%, but somewhere around the 40% mark appears likely. Though even 20% would be understandable with all the negative vitriol that comes out of the dying legacy media such as CNN, FOX, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, ESPN, BBC, and failing print media such as NYT, WashingtonPost, BuzzFeed, Vox, Salon, Guardian, DailyMail, Jezebel, etc etc.

Approval Rating Polls are not a measurement of how well a President is doing, of course, but rather how the population perceives him to be doing based on the "stellar" reporting done by corporate media outlets all of which are ultimately owned by the same 6 corporate elitist.

But, sometimes it's funny to see a spike in approval when apparently Trump should be at 0%. Oh well, proceed to rage on.

Why is this not fake news? Because it's pro-Trump?

Online polls are demonstrably poor. Zogby is also known to be pretty bad with their polls.

All of them have been poor with their polling, as seen with the election. The only accurate one remains Rasmussen, who was accurate during the election, and currently has him at 45%.

It's good of you to so openly advertise ahead of time how biased you are on the topic, makes it easier.

Looking at several polls over the time period in question and not just cherry-picking the one that supports your bias the most, it's both wrong to say that his approval rating was ever at 33% (only a few polls ever put him that low) or that his current approval is at 45%. Both those numbers fall outside the range that over 90% of polls put him in, and generally the most reliable numbers I can find have him hovering between 37% and 39% for months now, with the current number nearer to 37%.

You mean accuracy such as this?

Clinton 322, Trump 216

So accurate. But, I mean, I'm sure they're accurate now, even if they weren't during the election.

Umm... the election polls were actually pretty accurate. The popular vote went fairly close to what most of the polls were saying, the problem was that the talking heads and pundits took nationwide polls and tried to apply their results straight across to the electoral college system, which wasn't what was being polled in the first place. The issue wasn't the accuracy of the polls, it was in how the numbers were used after they were collected.

Dying legacy media? What's the new generation of media? Breitbart, Info. Wars, World Net Daily?

Pathetic you can't even rebuff all the "vitriolic" falsehoods pushed by the dying and failing media to help persuade people that Killary Klinton orchestrated the killing of 30 people since Arkansas or her being the mastermind of the child sex ring, whom one patriot has already been wrongfully imprisoned for just doing the true American conservative Jesus' work of fighting Killary's spirit cook-offs.

If you consider the Rasmussen Report accurate then you are not familiar with them at all. They're history is far that. They showed McCain beating Obama in 2008, up until just 3 weeks prior to the election and even then their point spread was off. And in 2012 they predicted Romney beating Obama.

Not to mention the Hawaiian democrat senator they predicted would lose and were off by 40 points.

Independent media which are not corporately owned and globally funded. As I stated?
The rest of your post was barely legible and sounded like some talking points you'd read off a teleprompter.

Who cares what you think? What is your basis for your thought? You like him so other people must like him too?

I read the link and looked for what their basis of the poll was. They didn't cite any other polls so presumably it was their own and the method was unclear. A quick google search shows "Zogby" to not be considered accurate.

What independent media? Tell me one, and tell me why I should consider them more credible than NYTimes, CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, NPR?

Not talking points, rather "independent media" theories on the true underbelly of the Hildabeast Killary Klinton.

Down from Zogby's February result of 47% LOL

I am suprised Rasmussen hasn't had the (R) put next to their name yet on RealClear due to their methodology being biased toward older (and more Republican voters). First Rasmussen is the only daily tracking poll that does a Likely Voter reporting. Traditionally self reporting Likely Voters tend to be older or shift workers which tends to lean Republican (Registered Voter polls tend to lean more Democratic because there are more registered Democrats in this country). Also Rasmussen interviews are conducted midday and landline only which again tends to lean older retired people who no longer have to work or shift workers which again are lean Republican. Their online reporting isn't a random sample but you have to opt into it so without a random pull you have people who want to be in it which will have some natural biased towards it.

Where does it say their methodology?

You can take a look at the running average of polls here:

And yeah, it's pretty middle of the road at ~37%.

You're right. His approval rating should be even lower to reflect his non-performance over the last ~half year. Managed to do nothing but lose to his party and spend nearly 1/4th of it on vacation.

But, sometimes it's funny to see a spike in approval when apparently Trump should be at 0%. Oh well, proceed to rage on.

Bad polls followed by less bad polls has been a monthly occurrence; this isn't anything new.

Who cares what you think?

You do, hence you replied.

When did I say any of that?

Nate Silver deemed them inaccurate, and he's what, 0 for 10 now?

Did you just unironically claim Rasmussen was accurate.

Good lord.

Zogby gets a nice C- in 538 ratings which I personally think is generous.

Well that's the underlying point, isn't it? Nate Conglomerate called Obama's victory against Shit Romney, which honestly, everyone predicted, yet he was paraded and marched on air with CNN and other sites as being some kind of prophet during this past election. And he was wrong, or it didn't translate well into the electoral, or whatever reason. Regardless, now somehow we take others' words, opinions, polling data, inaccurate or as accurate as they may be, and for what purpose?

Why does Trump being at 20% or 80% matter to you, me, him, or anyone else? It's dick stroking, and if Trump gets off on higher numbers, the least people here and elsewhere can do is admit they get off on low numbers.

It's a literal circlejerk.
