GALLUP: TRUMP APPROVAL HITS HIGH; Tops Obama at same time During Presidency

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Approval of President Donald Trump's job performance remains relatively high for him following the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report in late March, and amid a flurry of positive economic news. After jumping from 39% in early March to 45% in the first half of April, Trump's approval rating held at 46% in a new Gallup poll conducted April 17-30."

That specifically addresses a conversation that Whirly and I were having on this.

Seems is numbers did improve after the report release?



Also, goes to show you how popular Obama really was if Trump is still being compared to Obama.

Trump poll numbers on CNN, Quinnipiac and now Gallup all prove his numbers are going up and there is no denying it.

IBD is also up, and this was a month ago polled.

And given how Trump is treated by the media...the fact his approvals reach as high as they do speaks VOLUMES.

Imagine what the approval rating would be if they treated him fairly? If they covered accomplishments as much as they do failures or triggering tweets. If they didn't lie to people about things like the tax cuts.

I'm glad the US population shows a manifest distrust of media to this degree. I hope it leads to them going towards the creation or more neutral news agencies and better sources of investigation instead of echo chambers and ideological banter.

Yeah, we've always had some healthy skepticism, but Trump did two things. He gave a voice to that skepticism and he forced the media to show their true colors.

Trump jumped 3% (IBD/TIPP) from last month, good for him.

What's deceptively not said in comparing Obama and Trump here, Obama was handed a recession and it was in full swing by year two of his presidency; that's what Obama had to deal with, the fact his numbers were that high speaks volumes to Obama's leadership skills. Nothing brings numbers down like a recession and unemployment.

While Trump was handed a strong economy to play with.

It's true people should be skeptical of polls, especially ones that contain results they like.

Let's fact check.

You state several facts:

1. Obama was handed a recession.

2. Recession was in full swing by year two of his presidency.

3. Obama's numbers, considering points 1 and 2, speaks volumes to Obama's leadership skills.

4. Trump was handed a strong economy.


Fact 1. Obama was handed a recession.

Financial crisis started during Bush' presidency. Measures to curtail the crisis were started and nearly completed under Bush's presidency.

2009 saw a large drop in economic performance which was already on its way and repairs put in place (evil, crooked repairs).

Obama got to take credit for recovery because he inherited a bad economy that was 100% bound to recover, anyway.

Result: Superficially, true. Under the hood, false.

https://projects.propublica.org/bailout/main/timeline



Fact 2. Recession was in full swing by year two of his presidency.

The recession was over by Obama's second year and in Obama's second year, the economy had a massive jump.

Result: False as can be.

https://www.thebalance.com/us-gdp-by-year-3305543



Fact 3. Obama's numbers, considering points 1 and 2, speaks volumes to Obama's leadership skills.

Based on the actual facts for 1 and 2, you're applauding Bush, not Obama, for the economic recovery. That's probably not what you intended.

Result: False supporting premises, false conclusion.




Fact 4. Trump was handed a strong economy.

Not really. He was handled an okay economy and it has surged under his leadership. Perhaps not due to his leadership, however.

quote:
Trump has surely seen some impressive data points in his first term: GDP growth has reached 4.2 percent, unemployment has reached its lowest point in half a century, and the stock market has reached new heights.


https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/po...r-obama-n908286

Result: Mostly false.




Conclusion:

Obama was spun by the media and the masses as the messiah. The first black president. Super intelligent. Etc. This is the PR machine for Obama.

Trump was always spun as an evil (yes), perverted (yes), corrupt (yes). Media was always against him. Trump doesn't help his image sometimes, as well.

Despite all these factors, for Trump to have approval ratings higher than Obama's during the same time in the presidency while Obama was taking the credit for the economic recovery, that's a miracle.


So you fail the fact check from all angles. Your point is also wrong.

The joke is on you DDM. Rob never claimed any of that was truth, he just pointed out it was deceptively left unsaid.

Well no, look at the years/numbers/reasons:

2008 Financial Crisis
Obama's Stimulus Package and How Well It Worked
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act


(please log in to view the image)

edit: Fair play on the "Trump was handed a strong economy", it was okay/decent, "strong" was too strong of a word. So my error there.

Just take a wild guess when Obama's second year in office started...

Now I'm not saying it was after 2009 or before 2011...but I am.


Also, don't pay too much attention to the bailouts only happening in 2009 from that screenshot you took. They started in 2008 under Bush. Remember this link?

Answer:

Obama took office January 20, 2009. Guess what year 2010 is? Obama's second year as president.

And the website works just fine for me. smile

Almost all of the bailouts, the extreme majority of the bailouts, were approved by Bush. One of the last items he presided over was on Jan 15th when the Senate approved the second half of the bailout funds. That was part for the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. Signed by Bush, not Obama. wink

That was one of the last things of business Bush Jr. took care of before turning the White House over to Obama on the 20th of Jan, 2009.


smile


But, I know you're just trolling. It's fun for you to pretend links don't work.

But, no worries! I can play along!!! WEEE!

This is a good point. The credit (pun?) people give to Obama for "fixing the economy" should be given to Bush, not Obama. It's odd that they give Obama credit, though. But, hey, that's what we get for having the best PR-president in History: weird PR that misattributes legislation to the wrong president.

Yeah, Obama was handed a recession (I have no love for RINO warmongering globalist Bush) because of a BS war stoked by the lies of the MSM that Iraq had WoMD but he made it like ten times worse. Our national debt doubled under his so-called "leadership" and his massive regulations on small businesses didn't help the economy one bit either.


Trump lifted many of those strangulations on private business owners and brought massive amounts of jobs back (something Obama said couldn't be done) yet Obama and his pathetic supporters still try to claim Obama is the one who should be getting credit for the booming economy. roll eyes (sarcastic)


Quite pathetic, indeed. But I expect no less from his lame supporters. thumb up


And no, Trump was not "handed a strong economy" lmao.


Obama was a turd of a "president" compared to Trump. thumb up
