Trump approval rises... pundits scratch their heads?

CNN Poll: Trump Approval Highest In Months As GOP Midterm Deficit With Dems Shrinks
Micah Cohen, the politics editor at Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight site, is at a loss to explain it. So am I. My gut reaction was that it must be the steel and aluminum tariffs. There are lots of blue-collar Republicans and Berniebros out there who might take a new shine to Trump for waging trade war to try to protect American jobs. But CNN notes that Trump’s job approval on trade here is just 38/50. Other polls taken within the last few weeks on the tariffs have differed, with one finding a 41/35 plurality in favor and another finding a 33/48 plurality opposed. It’s hard to believe that views on them among CNN’s sample were so strongly in favor that that issue could singlehandedly lift POTUS’s job approval seven points in a month.
Cohen seems to have settled on the unsexy explanation that this month’s “bounce” is really just reversion to the mean. Trump has been in the high 30s or low 40s for his entire presidency in many polls. Statistically it makes sense that you’d get a month where he’s a little bit higher than usual in the low 40s range. Just one question: If Trump’s “bounce” is noise, why are Republicans also inching up on the generic ballot against Democrats?

This is consistent with the RCP averages, which shows Trump at his highest average approval since May of 2017. With the big Second Amendment protests, the profanity filled David Hogg going full out anti-Trump, and the Stormy Daniels nonsense in the news... apparently this causes confusion with those who believe this sort of "bad press" should be hurting the President.

But bad press cannot bring down Trump any further than it already has. I think for anything to change negatively at this point, the feeling (with so many people) that America is on the upswing will have to fall away. But as long as people feel good about how things are going with the country, the media will have a hard time distracting them with High School kids and porn stars.

I think it has to do with the public getting fed up with the constant attacks on Trump which many consider unfair. I think this is similar to the President Clinton effect where the majority of the public thought the Republicans were over-reaching on the impeachment efforts and his popularity kept creeping up.

We shall see.

Tuesday during an interview with TMZ’s Harvey Levin, gun control proponent and Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg said it was “annoying” he has been rejected by all the University of California campuses that he’d submitted college admissions applications for, but he will continue to “change the world.”

Lol, changing the world, really, pure liberal delusional mind.

So he is changing the life people live in Vietnam?

How, exactly.

Your entire post on the President has no credibility. Your parroting the party line with this: But bad press cannot bring down Trump any further than it already has..

The press reports on the administration are not Fake News written with the intent to discredit the President. They are the facts. His lies are not a creation of the press. The media isn't fooling the American people, because their intention is to bring down the President. They report the news.

Your obsession with claiming it's fake news has destroyed your credibility as a truth seeker..

this is one of those rare moments when i agree with you, rog.

and that would be because as far as the media treatment of this president is concerned, they are WAY past the 'discrediting' stage. the media is on to the 'removal of the president' stage. the media is and always has been an active participant and partner with the deep state in the coup to overthrow trump. it's been this way since election night when we had so-called 'objective' journalists breaking down and crying on air at the prospect of the election of donald trump.

one of the reasons i'm so pleased at the appointment of bolton is that i fully expect him to clean fucking house of the leakers and traitors infesting this white house and our national security apparatus. without those fucking worms assholes lime your darling maggie haberman at the times will have no one to go to for ammunition against this president. oh, it'll take a while to root them out, but when they are exposed i hope it's public and i sincerely hope the most serious criminal charges available are brought against them.

a good old fashioned firing squad on the white house south lawn would be a nice touch, don'tcha think?

heh.

Journalism *is* activism in its most basic form. The entire basis for its ethical practice is the idea that a democracy requires an informed citizenry in order to function. Choosing what you want people to know is a form of activism, even if it’s not the march-and-protest kind.

Hogg is here. Nowhere else.
Fake New: The President uses this invalid propaganda was created by Karl Rove.
The President has been a womanizer for his entire life. It's not bullshit, it is part of who he is. The lawyer for Daniels is playing with Trump's legal team.

The demonstration were not celebrities, they were victims of gun violence.

He is beginning to look ridiculous every single day. It's his behavior that matters. It's not the Fake News, it's the man himself and his incompetent behavior.
