1. GOOD!!!!!

[politicaljunkie41910]

18. That's probably why the HSS is on TV now talking about what a great job they are doing and that it's

the parents who are criminals. They're trying to regain the upper hand in the battle of public opinion.

[BigmanPigman]

19. Exactly...it is all PR today and not policy.

2. Thanks for posting

The phony summit bump is dissipating and the child hostage drop is coming to the fore.

[NewsCenter28]

4. You're welcome DSB!

It really was a phony summit and I knew as well that the border crisis would tank him, much like Charlottesville did.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. This border crisis is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Even if he caves I suspect they mixed up the parents and kids so bad it will take months to reunite them.

23. Good job.

CNN poll rated much higher than Gallup.

[empedocles]

3. bit of light on the right

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. That just made my day. I have been looking at

Gallup weekly approval tracking for months and it's been steadily better for him in the last 6 month trend. This Sunday his disapproval was at a sickening 50% best yet

[Kingofalldems]

7. But the Trumpies claim he's at 45%! All giddy too.

Huge drop. Hahaha!


I saw it somewhere? Where was that? Hmmm.

[yallerdawg]

12. 45% last week on Gallup. But...

While high for Trump, his 45% job approval rating last week is below the historical average of 53% for all presidents in Gallup polling since 1945. Throughout his term, Trump's job approval ratings have ranked well below those of other presidents at similar points in their presidencies.

Trump's job approval rating has averaged 39% since the start of his term. However, it has been 40% or higher since late April as the U.S. unemployment rate has hit lows not seen in decades, and the U.S. and North Korea moved toward talks designed to denuclearize the Korean peninsula.

21. Better believe it !

[tanyev]

8. That's probably the only thing that could make him change his mind.

[panader0]

9. For the life of me, I don't understand how the polls go up and down so much.

I made up my mind a long time ago about Trump, long before he became a candidate.
Nothing will sway my opinions of him. Who are these yoyos that go up and down on the
latest news?

[marylandblue]

22. They are the same people who take 10 minutes to order at McDonalds

[Va Lefty]

26. I know. How anyone can be "undecided" is crazy.

[John Fante]

10. I really can't stress this enough, but these are horrible numbers

given the state of this economy. Just imagine if the U3 rate was at 3.8% in June 2010, instead of 9.4%. Obama job approval would have been in the 60% range.

[Kingofalldems]

11. Kick this all night for the cavers.

[oberliner]

13. That number is actually 4 points higher than he was in Februrary in that same poll

And only 2 points lower than where he was in early May.

Not exactly a tumble.

[Kingofalldems]

14. 39%

[oberliner]

20. That number is frighteningly high

He should be in George W Bush territory, high 20's / low 30's.

[Kingofalldems]

25. Nope.

[John Fante]

28. Bush didn't hit high 20s until his last year in office.

The disastrous Iraq War was still going strong and the economy was tanking.

Trump would be at 10% if those events were happening right now.

[Yonnie3]

29. Yes, and the margin of error is +/- 3.7%

"The President's approval has ticked slightly downward, to 39%, compared with 41% in May and 42% in March."

These changes are all within the MOE. Until it moves 10% down I'm not cheering.

As much as I want it to be different, it is what it is.

[Awsi Dooger]

15. That's awesome

Keep it below 40.

I didn't realize this immigration issue would have that much impact.

Fortunately it followed the summit instead of preceding it.

We still need some type of economic decline in the fall.

[duforsure]

16. His supporters are set to suffer the most

From his trade wars, destroying health care for millions, and making it un-affordable for millions more with it going up they're saying at least 90% in the next 2-3 years, skyrocketing gasoline and oil prices, grocery prices rising fast, our air and water being destroyed, faith in our leaders gone, no truth in anything he claims, and the health care cuts from the tax scam bill passed will cut a trillion from Medicaid, and a half a trillion from Medicare , and Social Security already getting things done to it , and getting ready to destroy it also. The level of corruption , and the putin ties are showing they were heavily involved with russia trying to undermine and rig this last election, and today we see children put in cages. I'm amazed why would anyone be supporting such a disaster, and nightmare like this.

[Kingofalldems]

17. Kick this one.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

24. Oh fer chrissakes - it was 39% last month when they said job approval was RISING. Its ALWAYS BEEN

39%. Now, if it gets to NINE percent, let us know, otherwise - dont need to hear about it, its not "news."

[NY_20th]

27. Both parties are not the same.

It's time for that myth to be dispelled for once and for all.
