(21,848 posts)A couple of more points for disapprove but approve is almost exactly the same.

(6,377 posts)538s average still has him hovering at around 40, which is actually a bit higher than where hes been for most of the past year.
NewsCenter28
(1,835 posts)PPP went from 44 to 39.
Rasmussen from 50 to 45.
Morning Consult from 47 to 42.
Economist from 45 to 41
Just countering the CNN narrative that Trumps approval rating was skyrocketing.

(30,481 posts)His level of suckage appears pretty consistent.
NewsCenter28
(1,835 posts)He started to show some small but disgusting gains. These are the lowest numbers Ive seen from him since December 2016. Even PPP says hes hit a low for them.
Youre looking at 538s average. Im trying to tell you if you just would listen that the individual polls that had been good to mediocre for Trump have all suddenly turned against him!
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)No, I'm not. Your link includes more than one simple graph.
"Im trying to tell you if you just would listen that the individual polls that had been good to mediocre for Trump have all suddenly turned against him!"
What?
NewsCenter28
(1,835 posts)He was at 50% in Rasmussen. Now 45%. He was at 44% in Ipsos. Now 38%. He was at 44% in PPP. Theyve always had him in the 40s. Now hes at 39%. He was at 45-46% in Economist. Now 41%. Im just saying hes on a noticeable downtick.
Why does it make you unhappy that I point his out? Do you check every Trump poll that comes out every day like I do? If you did, youd notice how bad this week is compared to last weeks and priors.
NewsCenter28
(1,835 posts)All tried to say he was surging last week. Hes not!

(30,481 posts)Rasmussen 1/16-18 - 45%
Rasmussen 1/21-23 - 44%
Rasmussen 1/24-28 - 43%
Rasmussen 1/29-31 - 45%
Rasmussen 2/1-5 - 49%
Rasmussen 2/6-8 - 49%
Rasmussen 2/11-13 - 47%
Rasmussen 2/19-21 - 48%
Rasmussen 2/22-26 - 50%
Rasmussen 2/27-3/1 - 49%
Rasmussen 3/4-6 - 46%

Rasmussen 3/12-14 - 46%
Rasmussen 3/15-19 - 47%
Rasmussen 3/20-22 - 46%
Rasmussen 3/25-27 - 45%
That is only two and a half months worth of polling from Rasmussen.
"If you did, youd notice how bad this week is compared to last weeks and priors."
I understand this isn't how statistics work.
"Why does it make you unhappy that I point his out?"
I'm not unhappy. I'm actually very happy. I'm just correcting your blatant error and abuse of statistics.
"Do you check every Trump poll that comes out every day like I do?"
I wouldn't even consider doing such a thing.

(3,363 posts)have him around 40% give or take a few %. I see no massive free falling.
NewsCenter28
(1,835 posts)Now hes back below 40. Thats huge! Not sure why Im being insulted, not by you, but others, for being happy Trump took a dump in this weeks poll batch.
KY_EnviroGuy
(14,491 posts)As you said, it didn't make sense that his approval had increased unless the poll is skewed toward Repugs. I suspect Faux News can skew his ratings anytime they wish, LOL. Just crank up the bullshit machine, boys!

(7,006 posts)As In The Statistical Mean. Let's Review This, Shall We:
Approval:
Morning Consult - 42%
You Gov - 49%
Rasmussen Reports - 45%
Ipsos - 38%
Public Policy Polling - 39%
The Mean Is: 42.6% or Rounded 43%
However, if one was to remove the You Gov Poll (as Statistically, It Would Be An Outliner as it is not in 3-4% of the other corresponding polls:
The Mean Is: 41%
In Other Words, Trump Continues To Have The Lowest "Approval" rating of any President in the last 15-20 years counting. Yet, the Media continues to act as anything he does is relevant.
See how the Color Based Privilege Works in Living and Statistical Colors? It's Sickening.

(2,078 posts)that, he will have 'lost support' in stock terminology. That will interest me.
Again, as many above have said 'no freefall', thus hype.

(6,377 posts)I can't remember what happened back then to cause it to be that low.

(5,914 posts)Every time he says or does something immensely stupid, crazy, or racist, another borderline decent person says they've finally had it with him. But then another borderline deplorable says, "Hey, that's great!" and hops on board the Trump train.
titaniumsalute
(4,742 posts)Your post doesn't match the data. In a few polls released this week it is down slightly. In a few it is up slightly. If anything he's down a click or two from last week. But really nearly steady at this point.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)like the green "approve" average bar is trending up?

(9,091 posts)paid for by borrowing more money and benefit mostly the wealthiest. I don't see a lot of vocal opposition. As usual GOP/Trump win the propaganda war and drive the media narrative. But when the black guy was president, how dare he increase borrowing? Facebook shares plummeting, but Trump gets away Scot-free. We have to wait for a porn star to do the work of an opposition party.
Generic Brad
(14,275 posts)It is too soon with the available data to say that his support is sharply plummeting. I wish it were, but I am not seeing it. My fellow Americans baffle me.

(5,997 posts)The recipe for disaster is when one third of the population fervently supports a tyrant, one third is opposed and the last third sit on their thumbs.
Trump's support is now 41%. The only chart on that page that catches his eye is the 30% jump in net approval rating Bush got after 911.
