Trump Approval 57%

[Jeremiahcp]

They are meaningless. The media outlets that normally do them usually have an agenda to support. They can pick and choose what demographic to use, what geographic location they want to focus on, and can front load the questions. A sampling of 2,000 people that actually bother to respond is not indicative of 120,000,000.

I know all the tricks they can do, and in terms of polling when it comes to political issues you do have to be extra cautious. If you can't get access to their methodology or you don't know enough about it to evaluate the methodology then it is best to disregard the poll. In the political arena it is prob. best to never let the media or someone else interpret a poll for you. The best thing to do, is pick up a book on statistics and start reading it, so you know how to properly read these polls.

But obviously Hillary did not want to her campaign strategy to be based on skewed data; they wanted accurate data. In that case it was not about trying to create skew, they just failed to get an accurate approximation.

Today Trump signed the Keystone Pipeline which is going to help both US and Canada - I support that and most do at work.

I also heard at work (still at work right now) he signed the ok for what apparently is that pipeline on the land local American Indians claim as sacred, most at work are against that one and I also then another route needs to be made in respect for the Indians. However, if this is indeed the same pipeline, someone who watched the signing live said when he was signing that one there was a caveat that it may not happen if it doesn't undergo some contingencies and possible workarounds, I know the technology is already here to find another route.

So the markets took a big jump up today, probably due to Keystone. I made a lot of money on investments today. I predict Trump's current 57% approval rating will soon be 60%.

In regards to the rather bizarre report in the OP:

"Trump’s approval rating is lower than any prior new president. Remarkably, more people have a negative opinion of him than any other new president in his first job evaluation.." -- Trump’s initial approval ratings are setting new, unhappy records



"President Donald Trump's first job-approval rating is in, and it is the lowest an incoming president has ever received.

Only 45% of Americans approve of Trump's job performance over the first three days of his presidency, according to a Gallup survey released Monday. It's the first time a president has received an initial approval rating under 50% in the history of the poll, which dates back to Dwight Eisenhower's first term in 1953.

Another 45% of Americans disapproved of Trump's performance — also the highest such initial rating in the poll's history. The remaining 10% had not yet formed an opinion..." -- Trump just got his first approval rating as president — and it's not good

What does it mean if Trump's approval goes down?
What if it goes up?
