[yortsed snacilbuper]

Trump's job approval rating has slipped 6 points in the past month and now sits at 43 percent as his administration handles the fallout from the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, according to a new Gallup survey.

he survey, released on Thursday, found that 43 percent of American adults approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president, while 54 percent say they disapprove. The findings represent a significant drop from a March 24 Gallup poll that found Trump's approval rating had climbed to 49 percent, which matched a personal best for his presidency.

Trump’s Approval Rating Collapses To 39% With Independents

Trump’s job approval rating has fallen six more points overall and an additional four points with Independents, when he is at 39% approval.


Via Gallup:

The six-point decline in the president’s approval rating is the sharpest drop Gallup has recorded for the Trump presidency so far, largely because Trump’s ratings have been highly stable and have yet to reach the historical average for presidents (back to 1945) of 53%.

….

Since the mid-March poll, Trump’s job approval rating has fallen six points among Democrats (to 7%) and four points among independents (to 39%). Higher approval ratings among those groups helped fuel the short-lived rally in approval for Trump. Republicans’ evaluations of Trump have been highly stable throughout 2020 and currently sit at 93% approval.

Trump’s decline comes at the same time that approval of Congress has reached a ten year high of 30%.

The Congress is getting credit for the coronavirus stimulus bill, not Trump, so it doesn’t appear to matter if Trump’s name appears on the checks or not, the American people correctly see the source of the aid as Congress, not the president....................

6. Obviously some of those approvals are stock market based financial portfolios and 401K based.

So is it possible for someone or group to manipulate and/or prop up stock market numbers to make it appear things are a lot better than they really are?

I'm just saying that is strange that numbers seem to evaporate once a Democrat becomes President, but they magically appear when a Republican gets in office. I'm sure some of it has to do with how Republicans put a veil over reporting corporate actual well being during their terms, but could there be even a more rigged elaborate con-job going on to favor the repuke party?

That's insane.

4. Too many people believe his lies

because they want to believe. For instance, "Everyone who wants a test can get one." Absolute BS, but people in rural areas who haven't been hit yet (and don't know anyone who has) still believe it. Shit, I see people on Twitter still claiming "this is no worse than the flu."

We have pathetic mass media, and a woefully dumbed down electorate.

5. Rasmussen's new poll has him 15 points underwater.

And Rasmussen usually favors Republicans.
