President Trump took to Twitter Thursday to tout a poll from a conservative-leaning polling company showing a majority of Americans disapprove of his job as president.

“Together, we are MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump tweeted, alongside an image showing his 46 percent approval rating in the Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll on Dec. 28.

Fifty-three percent of likely U.S. voters disapprove of Trump’s job performance as president, according to the survey.

The Rasmussen poll also finds that 29 percent of likely U.S. voters say they “strongly approve” of Trump’s job performance as president, while 44 percent say they “strongly disapprove.”

Yes, tRump's both dishonest and a moron, while being at the same time a bigot and a crook.

1. Rasmussen called me in 2012

Hung up as I chose the “Right Direction” option.

[Maraya1969]

6. What does that mean? "Right Direction"

[Drunken Irishman]

8. Polling firms will often ask whether you feel the country is on the right/wrong track...

How you answer generally syncs up with how the country perceives the country under the current president. In 2012, that would have been Obama. So, the poster said they felt the country was heading in the right direction and Rasmussen quickly disconnected the call, suggesting they didn't like the answer.

2. Reminds me of this joke

Man is told that everyone at work hates him with a passion
The following week, the man corners the bearer of the bad news with a big smile, "Ha. You were wrong." the man tells the other. "I polled the entire site. All 200 people who work here. Only 93 hate me with a passion. 76 merely hate me. 24 said they don't know who I am. 1 said he has no opinion of me because he's new. 5 people said they think I'm sort of okay. And one says he likes me. Shows how little you know."

3. Rasmussen poll.

4. Rasmussen

is the authentic FAKE NEWS!

[shenmue]

5. He's at least 15 points lower than that

[lapfog_1]

10. sadly he is only 10 points lower

A full 1/3rd of adult voters in this country think that he is mostly OK.

[SergeStorms]

7. That's like saying....

"I'm a failure at connecting with most of the American people, and they don't like my policies. Isn't that just wonderful news? Make America accept a loser again!"

Only a complete idiot would be happy and boastful of something like that.

9. all part of his not-so-masterful sleight of hand distraction tactics --

meanwhile, he and the rethugs are wreaking havoc everywhere possible and stealing the store

[msongs]

11. sounds more like an advertisement than news nt

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Still A Big Negative

Negative 7 is a big number and in the "strong" category, it's a negative 15. Hardly something to crow about. But. . . .

[mdbl]

13. OMG 46% of the people polled are mentally ill

it's a crisis in this country of YUUUUUGE proportions.

[MFM008]

14. 32 percent maybe.

46 percent means they called his family.

[Arkansas Granny]

15. Compared to other polls, it's easy to see that Rasmussen is an outlier.

The average polling:

Approve - 39.3
Disapprove - 56.2
Spread - 16.9

16. "Of likely voters"

By now we should know that this is pollster code for "we over-represented Republicans in this poll".

[PragmaticDem]

17. Trump is deluded

[djacq]

18. Across all polls, Rasmussen remains the outlier.

I always check FiveThirtyEight's website which is tracking all the polls;

[link:https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/?ex_cid=rrpromo|

Ever since the Orange Clown pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accords, he's been averaging mid 30s% approval rating. Before that, it was mid 40s%. His base is slowly shrinking as more of his supporters wake up with buyer's remorse.

[FakeNoose]

19. This is interesting - check this out

On the Rasmussen site, Trump's approval rating is compared to every US President since Harry Truman. The time period is the first year of each President's term, and typically that's the highest approval rating for each President.

But Trump doesn't beat any of them ever, except poor Gerald Ford. Even Ford scores better than Trump except for about 3 weeks of his first year.

20. 29% of voters strongly approve....

...of what? What has he done for them other than take away access to health insurance? And stolen tax money?

I know what it is.

29% of voters strongly approve of being able to laugh their asses off at all the weepy Libtards. Every day that Trump says another outrageous anti-constitutional, or sexist, or racist, or narcissistic, or delusional thing, and some intelligent and rightly outraged political, media, or entertainment personality comes out to decry it, They get a huge surge of dopamine in their tiny moranic brains. They 'strongly approve' of feeling that giddy.

[0rganism]

21. 46%! yay! we have achieved Greatness!

to me the funniest part is Trump thinks 46% is hot shit
although it would be an improvement for him
