Trump approval at 50%

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove. This is higher than President Obama was at the same point in his presidency.
This is as I predicted last Fall. Trump’s policies are popular. Tax cuts. Tariffs against China. The wall. The media’s attacks against him, all Stormy all the time, have begun to look petty and false. The Mueller investigation has come up empty.

Rasmussen has a C+ rating in terms of reliability:

This is what happens when our media is driven by urbanites from large left leaning cities and who cater primarily to other urbanites. It is amazing how blind so many people in places like NYC, Boston, DC, and cities in CA are to the fact that much the rest of the country doesn't share their worldviews. Hence their shock when a solid majority of states say no to a whack job like Hillary.

There's no disconnect, dipshit. Trump lost the popular vote and the very best polling methods failed to get all the quirks of electoral college correct -- the last 80K votes.
This Rasmassun pole has a well-known GOP bias. Trump's moved up about 5% points since his low, but still the most unpopular pres in modern history.
And as far as the popular vote, re-read my points above. Hillary won only 20 states and, digging even deeper, only about 16% of all counties nationwide. Again, urbanite vs. everyone else. Thank God for an Electoral College system, which prevents us from becoming a version of the Hunger Games, with a handful of Capital Cities dictating the course of politics for everyone else. Back in the day it was designed to protect less populated Southern states from being steamrolled by larger northern cities, but now it seems like a solid majority of states are benefiting from its protection.
Trump shit is the same as stripper shit !
Hell yes!! Credit is fun until it's not.
If it does matter, all supposed Republicans should be pisses for ruining our country for the upcoming generations
Exactly, @Lone_Wolf.
I’m guessing it would take a huge mess to move to 51%? Trump has changed how many folks view partisan media. Hillary seems to be able to do no wrong in the eyes of her supporters too.
They can't find anything positive about Trump, not even how his economic policies are working out.
Instead they resort to some irrelevant topic such as calling him fat. But if there is nothing else that won't get them laughed out of the discussion, I guess they gotta find something
Now to be clear, I agree that we need to get spending under control and am not remotely happy with this budget. In particular, I am pissed off with the Senate and am firmly convinced that we need more deficit hawks elected in the midterms - which will likely happen given how many Dem seats are up for grabs. But to hear Dem supporters try to use the budget against the sitting President it against him when their hero was spending like a drunken sailor during his first term kinda' comes across as ludicrous.
The debt is so far gone now, hawks will do no good. There are just too many zeros for people to comprehend. Only thing we can do now is party and rearrange the deck chairs while the ship sinks. Damn shame really.
Right now our national debt is about 105% of GDP, which is high, but not the highest of the industrialized nations. I am pissed about this and was pissed all throughout the Obama years and even GW years for the same reason. But all is not lost.
Continued GDP growth will help a lot. Remember too that we can print money, though this has to be done sparingly to avoid inflation and dollar devaluation against other currencies. But before we can right the ship, we need to stop growing the national debt yet more. However, between the Dems and "moderate" Republicans, along with a President trying to stake his legacy, we don't stand a chance. A good start, however, would be to get rid of some more of those Senate Dems and replace them with Tea Party Republicans.
The Trump tax cut came at nearly full employment. It's an unneeded giveaway to the top wage earners.
As I said, the GOP will soon use the debt and deficit to argue that entitlements need to be cut.
Someone should create a President Trump "Hysteria Meter" to display the left's hysteria.
Defending the indefensible, is really dumb, but as a Trump supporter we wouldn't expect any more from you folks .
Thy jealousy burneth 'neath thine bosom.
