Trump Stuck at 42% Job Approval

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Historical Comparisons Not Favorable for Trump
At 42%, Trump's latest job approval rating continues to lag behind ratings of his recent predecessors who were successful at winning a second term; it still runs slightly ahead of the approval ratings for unsuccessful incumbents.

In early September of their reelection years, Barack Obama had a 49% approval score, George W. Bush was at 52%, Bill Clinton at 60% and Ronald Reagan at 57%.

Both recent incumbents who lost had less than 40% approval: George H.W. Bush at 39% and Jimmy Carter at 37%.

...

With less than 50 days remaining before Election Day, Trump's job approval rating continues to fall well short of the 50% threshold that has historically been associated with incumbent reelection.

2. Trump is a sucker for spending money on campaign ads...

And a loser in November.
The “Dump trump train” as left the station!

8. Apparently he's not spending much on campaign ads.

Looks like most of it's going for yachts and luxury cars for his campaign staff and his family.

10. From what I see in south Florida..

The frequency of his tv campaign ads seem to equal Biden’s.

3. depressing that 42% approve of anything this cretin has done

[edhopper]

4. And 42% of our fellow citizens

see what we see and still support this Orange Shitpile.

5. Alot of that support are partisan Republican supporters

They may not like Trump but they think Democrats are worse so they will hold their nose and vote for him. Trump’s cult base is really like 35%.

6. Agreed.

This is particularly true in rural areas, especially in the Upper Midwest and the South, though really applicable everywhere. The diehard partisans will always insist that the Democratic alternative is worse.

7. his upper limit is in the low 40's so when any poll comes out for

national support shows trump being over the low 40's is 100% suspect

9. Yes, that's rare and always comes from whack job pollsters.
