Trump's approval rating tops Obama's midterm numbers, poll shows

[Son of Jamin]

President Trump's approval ratings are higher than those of former-president Barack Obama during the first mid-term elections of his presidency, according to a new poll.

The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showed Trump's approval rating at 47 percent, the highest figures the president has posted in that poll. Obama's 2010 approval rating for about the same time period was 45 percent.

Trump's approval rating was highest among Republicans (87 percent); white voters without college degrees (65 percent); and men (56 percent.) The president only garnered 10 percent approval from Democrats; 14 percent from black voters; and 27 percent among Latino voters.

Any isolated poll is of low value. You have to look at the average of all polls.

Trump's approval rating is at 42%-- basically flat since May.

What does being dumb stupid rednecks have to do with who you vote for? Does voting for Trump somehow make those dumb stupid rednecks less dumb, stupid, and rednecky?

So...then if 80% of blacks do not have a degree What is your thought about black voters?

 

[zebby23]

Nope. College educated people tend to vote blue. Now more than ever.

Republicans have convinced themselves that college is a liberal scam
