Why? Are they messing with the numbers to make it look higher than it is? We will be the ones to suffer, if they continue to grow in his favor!

(14,565 posts)Unfortunately that's a major part of it. Trump inherited an improving economy under Obama but Trump will assert and receive credit.
I posted last November that I'd like to push a freeze button and keep Trump's approval at that level for the 2018 midterm. As always, happy adjuster overreaction means nothing compared to logical normalcy. No matter how much of a lowlife Trump is and will remain, it's damn tough for a president to sustain approval ratings in the 30s. Uptick was the only sensible direction.
We need something to happen to lower his approval number among independents. That is the whole ball game. We aren't going to dominate based on turnout. That's more happy adjuster nonsense. Preference decides elections. Trump won in 2016 because independents favored him over Hillary, and his approval nosedived in 2017 when independents turned against him.

I still say blue sweep in November.
