So much for the Trump 46% approval in the WSJ-NBC poll. A- rated Quinn poll-38% approval.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

American voters give Trump a negative 38 - 55 percent job approval rating, compared to a negative 38 - 57 percent in a January 29 Quinnipiac University National Poll.

1. That makes more sense.

But it should be 0%.

[DirtEdonE]

26. +1 nt

[spanone]

2. K&R...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Every poll is a data point.

I noticed that NBC-WSJ poll got a lot of play. It's always been a tad bit of outlier, about two to four points more friendly to Trump than other polls of the same time period.

[OliverQ]

4. Still way too high.

30% of the population thinks Trump is honest.

1/3 of this country is absolutely mentally damaged.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. That is roughly the amount of Americans with authoritarian tendencies.

[littlemissmartypants]

15. And illiteracy.

In the US, 14% of the adult population is at the "below basic" level for prose literacy; 12% are at the "below basic" level for document literacy; and 22% are at that level for quantitative literacy. Only 13% of the population is proficient in these three areas—able to compare viewpoints in two editorials; interpret a table about blood pressure, age, and physical activity; or compute and compare the cost per ounce of food items.

13. Its one thing to say "he's not perfect"

Or that he is a "broken vessel" doing God's work, despite his flaws. Which many many evangelicals have self conditioned themselves into believing. At least they admit he is flawed. But think that he is like a number of characters in the Bible, many of them rulers, who inadvertently were fulfilling God's plan, despite their intentions.

These people are crazy enough. but then there's this other group that have convinced themselves that the rest of the networks (besides Fox) actually are all colluding with lies to bring down their Dear Leader, and that he himself has not ever told a lie. These are scary folks.

[MyOwnPeace]

20. This...............

.." then there's this other group that have convinced themselves that the rest of the networks (besides Fox) actually are all colluding with lies to bring down their Dear Leader, and that he himself has not ever told a lie. These are scary folks"

Absolutely. How can ANY reasonable, thinking person have even 1% of faith or belief in that fool?

Yep, they are the scary ones!

[DirtEdonE]

28. And 20% of the population are 100% unethical

"A presidential candidate paying money to hide a negative story during a campaign, and not disclosing that payment, is unethical and a crime, 40 percent of voters say. Another 21 percent say it is unethical, but not a crime, and 20 percent say it is not unethical."

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

And what's more unbelievable, I'll bet there are "evangelicals" counted among that number.

6. WSJ Murdoch

NBC=Comcast

That is all

[FloridaBlues]

7. NBC poll must be outlier. 38% more likely

[Augiedog]

8. What kind of human approves of what trump is?

[LibDemAlways]

9. Any poll that shows Trump with anything but

an abysmal approval rating is oversampling Republicans in red states.

[Pepsidog]

10. Good observation

[ProfessorGAC]

36. Biggest Error

I know folks at Pew and they don't take long term national contracts on politics any longer.
But, the single biggest flaw appears to be the issue at CSPAN WJ.
1:1:1 dems, repubs, and indies. That automatically overstates the support as 90% of Rs support PINO.
So, with that basis, the floor is 30%.
Now, if 40% of the indie voters approve, the aggregate is already 43.33%.
They have never shown me the raw data, but these are pros and I respect their judgment.

[world wide wally]

11. Especially after the week Trump had.

How could his approval ratings have possibly gone up?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I would say it was a polling rescue mission

I would say it was a polling rescue mission if the poll wasn't a collaborative effort of a Democratic and Republican pollster.

[Hortensis]

14. Repubs approve him 82% by this poll, BUT

indies DISapprove by 57%. No doubt right-leaners are mostly holding the line for him, but the rest are dominating.

[Joe Nation]

16. I approve of Trump.....

...going to jail for the rest of his life.

[MyOwnPeace]

22. I am........

100% for that one!

[triron]

17. NBC fox now.

[TwilightZone]

18. As I noted in another thread, it's likely just a statistical blip.

Figure in the margin of error and the NBC/WSJ poll was not that far off the others.

One poll doesn't a trend make. If it stays consistently off-balance, then it's probably time to look more closely. 538 also rates it an A-, so I think that particular one was probably just noise. We'll see in the next few....

[lunatica]

19. I knew it. The blue wave isn't some fairy tale.

We took half the Republican power that day. Just like that we went from Republicans having the whole pie to us taking half the pie for ourselves.

Trump’s popularity polls are lies. Just an attempt to keep the horse race illusion going.

We also need to keep an eye out for the Sealioning that comes just after Trump takes a major beating like North Korea and Michael Cohen’s testimony.

[LakeArenal]

21. I never answer the phone so I'm never polled...

Polls aren’t as effective as they used to be.

[BlueJac]

23. This matches up better from what I am seeing...

here in Florida.

[CDerekGo]

24. Central Florida?

I live in West Central Florida (Tampa Bay) and can't really say that's what I see here. Though I believe most are mindful of expressing any views any longer. Yes, there are the single individuals who still are trumpsters, but when you live in St Pete, FL, home of the Largest Gay Pride in State of Florida, trumpsters are like seeing Snow Accumulation here in Pinellas County, FL

[DallasNE]

25. This Poll Confirms

That Trump suffered no damage from his colossal failure to reach an agreement on nuclear weapons with North Korea. It is not a good sign for America when so many Americans are numb to the failures of this bumbling fool.

[Hoyt]

27. A lot of the Disapproval are folks like Coulter. They'll still vote for him if he runs in 2020.

[Peace06]

29. Trump polls

He has probably found a way to cheat on polls too. I can't believe he is above 30%.

[BluegrassDem]

30. The NBC/WSJ poll always has had the highest Trump approvals

outside of Rasmussen of course. Also, when Trump's approvals were sinking around the election, their poll was the only poll that really didn't have any drop in his approvals. I think their sampling must be off. I'm not one to say it's a conspiracy or anything, but I think their sampling is all screwed up.

[AncientGeezer]

31. NBC/WSJ also has an A- rating per 538

[mcar]

32. This is why it makes no sense to pay attention to any one poll

I knew as soon as I saw that NBC poll it wasn't accurate.

[former9thward]

34. How do you know this poll is accurate?

Because you like its numbers?

[mcar]

35. I don't know if this poll is accurate

That's my point. I have seen people on this board panic at individual polls, then another comes out to belie the first's results.

Look at the averages.

[former9thward]

38. We have to look at numbers we can't see.

Numbers only the major campaigns have. That is --- what are the numbers in states that add up to at least 270 electoral votes? The average does not tell us that unfortunately.

[mucifer]

33. nixon had high poll numbers until right before he resigned when things got bad.

[Martin Eden]

37. It still needs a decimal point ...

… as in 3-point-8 percent approval for the orange shitstain would be more acceptable.

I mean, you have to be brain dead or downright deplorable to approve of Hair Twitler as president.
