Two Weeks From Election Day, How Trump's Approval Rating Compares to Past Presidents'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Two weeks out from the election, President Donald Trump's approval rating sits above the level of recent single-term presidents at similar points—but remains below all those who won a second term in office.

According to FiveThirtyEight, Trump's job approval is at 42.7 percent based on an average of polls posing the question.

Gallup's last results, from polling conducted September 14 to 28 among 1,023 U.S. adults, put him at 46 percent job approval.

While these figures put him above where the two most recent commanders-in-chief to sit only one term in the White House were prior to Election Day, it also puts him below those who won a second term right back to Ronald Reagan in 1984, according to Gallup's past numbers.

1. 43% approval? We are closing in 1/4 dead and 8,000,000 cases, and unemployment #s that beat ....

or equal the great depression. The man has pissed away God only knows how much on golfing and
he has spent more time working on the Tiktok/Sarah Problem then C-19 (made up that fact).

43% approval? You have to kidding me.

After the election we can have a real time snap shot of how many americans are dumb fucking
racist idiots.

2. Disgusting isn't it?

Hard to believe there are so many fascists and racist in America.

[Botany]

3. Trump will always have a 25 to 30% approval among Americans who like to say the word n****r.

but 43% approval?

[mucifer]

4. yeah it's been that way for a long time. Jimmy Carter had worse numbers. It's Horrific!

[Botany]

5. One thing we have been dealing with is Ronald Reagan got rid of the fairness doctrine and so ...

... for > 2 generations we have had a % of Americans just bathed in misinformation designed
to make 'em mad and blame people like us for everything that goes wrong Fox News and the
right wing Christian Evangelical movement is a well funded cancer on America.

6. How is that the talking heads say he is losing the white women voters, the elderly, the black voters

the Latino voters, he is falling even with white male voters, suburban voters and yet he is still stuck at 43?.
How do you lose votes in every single demographic and still hold the same percentage? Does not compute!

[Botany]

7. you forgot jewish voters, gen X, Y, & Z voters, the military, and the vets too

Trump will always have a 25 to 30% hard core racist base but not much beyond that.
Hell what about farmers who have had to plow their crops under because of Trump's
trade war with China.

Next time you hear Trump and his enablers touting the economy, remind them that more
Americans have filed for unemployment this year than voted for Trump in 2016.

8. I know those too, I don't know of any new votes he is getting but he

is still stuck at that same 43% he has had for 4 years. If he is losing with all those groups of voters he should down to like 23%.

9. The 46 percent in the Gallup poll is very

disturbing and depressing at the same time. I'm used to seeing his approval rating at 40-42 the last few months. For it to jump up like this really sucks.

10. It didn't "jump up"

Look at the aggregate its 42.8.
