by Aidan McLaughlin | Feb 5th, 2019, 10:40 am
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders put some hardcore spin on President Donald Trumps stagnant approval ratings in an interview on CNNs New Day ahead of the State of the Union Tuesday.
CNN host John Berman pointed out that the presidents approval rating among independents has remained at a lackluster 41% since 2017. And I present that because if the goal here is for the president to expand beyond his base, the evidence is, is thats been a challenge. He hasnt had results there, Berman said. And I wonder if youve thought about why?
I think the presidents primary focus isnt on results in the polls, of which I think there are a number of them hes doing very well. Rasmussen had him at 45% just earlier this week, Sanders replied [Editors note: Trump has tweeted about polls literally hundreds of times].
The biggest focus that the president has is actually on results for the American people, not what the polls are going to reflect, Sanders continued. Thats why hes focused on the economy. Everyone in the country is feeling the power of the economic boom that we are facing now under the leadership of the president.

(21,851 posts)1. 45%, even if it were true, is not doing well
It is less than a majority.
They are desperate if they are trying to spin that number as great.

Americans view 45 favorably isn't a good number? We are doomed.

This is comparable to the lie about the Executive Time reveal--all that TV, phone time and hamberder gobbling--equaled a more 'creative' atmosphere for the Trumpster to lead the country to spectacular heights.
It gives me some small comfort that Sarah Huckapoo is headed for the 8th circle of Hell, the ring reserved for fraudsters, sycophants and liars extraordinaire.
How does this woman sleep at night? Or make these statements without cringing?
Ugh!

Trump started his reign of error and crime lower than any other president and has sunk even lower ever since.
He is circling the toilet bowl now!
