Poll: 60 percent say Trump should not be reelected | TheHill

A new poll finds that a strong majority of voters believes that President Trump does not deserve a second term in office.

A Monmouth University survey released Wednesday found that only 37 percent of voters believe Trump should be reelected, while 60 percent said they think it’s time to have someone new in the White House.

That’s the highest percentage of voters saying they’re eager for change since Monmouth first began asking the question in November. The numbers come weeks ahead of Trump's expected official launch for his 2020 reelection campaign.

A Majority of Americans don't want trump in 2020. trump's financial records being turned over to congress. No wonder trump's freaking out.
 
So it would seem if they all come-out to vote, we're all golden. If only it were so easy ...
 
Everyone...look out...Trump has no path to victory....again.

Most expect Clinton to win, few believe system is rigged

West Long Branch, NJ – Hillary Clinton is currently ahead of Donald Trump by 6 points among likely voters.

“A key finding in the poll is that Clinton’s vote share continues to hover near the 50 percent mark while Trump’s support has been more volatile,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.

While supporters can gloat that polls cannot guarantee the outcome of an election day, they do more reliably measure popularity. Trump has been consistently unpopular, whether that's winning with 3 million fewer votes than his opponent or sinking in the polls ever since.

But more popular than the previous President at the same point in time....

Gallup Poll: Trump Approval Higher Than Obama’s At Same Point in Presidency | Trending

For starters, Trump’s most recent Gallup approval rating is actually higher than Barack Obama’s at the same point in his presidency—44 percent in April 2011. According to Real Clear Politics, Obama’s job average approval for both of his terms was less than 50 percent—despite the fact Obama began his presidency at a historically high approval rating of 68 percent, according to Gallup.

Don't worry. Trump could never win a Republican primary and certainly not a general election. Every poll shows this. There is NO possibility that he could even be the Republican candidate to challenge, let alone defeat, President Hillary Clinton. Polls are never wrong and everyone knows it.

But that's as high as it gets for Trump. Obama had higher.

And that's not Trump's most recent. He has already fallen lower again. He is back down to 42, and Obama was back up 50% at this point in his presidency.


So what if Obama occasionally dipped below where Trump is in any given week? Trump has a ceiling that he can't break. Because he can't stop throwing tantrums and spewing verbal diarrhea.

And Obama had lower.

Up and down.

Trump is probably the first President who entered office universally hated by the members of the party he and his voters beat, and under constant partisan attack since the day after the election.

I think that fact should be considered.

Considering the $100's of millions worth of free partisan focused propaganda and hate the New Democratic Party's MSM has provided, the President's approval numbers are remarkably solid.


Given that fact, one would think it impossible the President's numbers could ever exceed EX President Obama's, but they have, over and over.

You left out my edits. You claimed that was Trump's most recent. It isn't. Trump is already back down to 42% at Gallup. Obama was up to 50% at this point in his presidency.

Obama went higher. Trump never will.

Of course how hated Trump is should be considered. He has earned every bit of the hate. And he keeps earning it. That's why he'll never go higher. Because as much as he fumes and rants about how unfair and fake it is that his poll numbers suck ... as much as he craves higher poll numbers ... he doesn't want them enough to put in the work to earn them.


Trump doesn't get attacked worse than Obama did. Trump was one of the people attacking Obama. Obama weathered it with dignity. Trump is as incapable of dignity, incapable of self-control, incapable of learning, etc. THAT is why Trump will never have the polling numbers which one would expect with the economic numbers we have had so far. And he keeps trying to bring those economic numbers down, and one of these days he might succeed. Things are looking pretty shaky right now.

But your partisan filter eliminates your objectivity. So, I appreciate your opinion, but that's all it is.

You get his current poll numbers wrong, fail to acknowledge that Trump is back down to 42% (while Obama was up to 50%) and deflect by talking about my partisan filter.

So cute.

Deflect all you want. That 46% blip was just that. A blip. Trump is back down, because he can't or won't do what it takes to earn higher numbers.

We can only hope he doesn't cause the nation to crash while he's earning his sucky poll numbers.

So which is it? Don't believe polls or only believe polls that give Trump good numbers?

I think it is a fair assessment that most Americans do believe Trump should not be reelected. It does not mean they'll get out and vote. Most people also thought the same about him in 2016 but just enough of them didn't do anything about it.

LOL

Try to keep up, and maybe, read my comments in full.

I wrote that the President's numbers have been up and down, just like EX President Obama's. Many times the President's approval numbers have been higher than Obama's.

I never suggested they were high or low today.

I'm not deflecting.

You're just struggling through the hyper partisan filters your Progressivism is likely causing.

In general, I don't believe Polls. The majority of them are slanted, and in the end, the groups who pay for them demand the results they pay for.

Pollsters and the people who pay for their work, look to make a profit from the result. It becomes good click bait that builds traffic for the companies that make use of them.

So, you can believe whatever you want. I have no problem with that.

You called 46% his most recent poll number. He's back down to 42% at Gallup. You're the one not keeping up.

But I don't mind what you think, as long as the rest of America gets things right.

The problem with polls is that they're pretty much a "snapshot in time". Depending what happens over the next 1.5 years, things could get either worse or better for trump. The Dems are pretty much in the drivers' seat right now, which is not necessarily a good thing based on how they messed up what should have been an easy win in '16.

Ah. I see where you screwed up. You didn't follow the link I provided.

The paragraph that begins with "For starters, the...., was a cut and paste from the article I linked.

They were not my words. You chose not to read the information in the link, and erroneously attributed the articles words to me.

Had you followed the link, you wouldn't be making mistake after mistake with your assumptions.
