In reply to Nate Silver: 7 Rules For Reading Trump’s Approval Rating

There is one news outlet that Trump does not label #fakeanlaysis, and I just ran across a couple of poll results they have to report today that are quite interesting even if one thinks they might fudge things a bit:

As always with polling, it all depends on what questions you ask...."do you approve of the way he is handling the presidency?" is quite vague after all.

Peracles... On Obamacare alone...

Moving Past Repealing The Affordable Care Act

This month’s survey continues to find that more of the public holds a favorable view of the ACA than an unfavorable one (52 percent vs. 39 percent). This marks an overall increase in favorability since Congress began debating ACA replacement plans and a nine percentage point shift since the 2016 presidential election.

The shift in attitudes since the 2016 presidential election is found regardless of party identification. For example, the share of Republicans who have a favorable view of the ACA has increased from 12 percent in November 2016 to 21 percent in August 2017. This is similar to the increase in favorability among independents (11 percentage points) and Democrats (7 percentage points) over the same time period.

Pretty remarkable - have to think how we communicate on The Wall and racism and healthcare and budget and how to get that message through the daily shitstorm. Trump has abeen near monopoly on the news, even worse than startling early days of the campaign.

Republicans Divided in Views of Trump’s Conduct

In their own words: How people describe Trump’s presidency

SUMMER 2017 SURVEY TOPLINE August 15-21, 2017 PDF

In his first seven months as president, Donald Trump has generally drawn high job approval ratings among Republicans. But a new survey finds that nearly a third of Republicans say they agree with the president on only a few or no issues, while a majority expresses mixed or negative feelings about his conduct as president.

Overwhelming shares of Democrats disagree with Trump on all or nearly all issues and say they do not like his conduct as president.

The survey, conducted by Pew Research Center Aug. 15-21 among 1,893 adults, finds that 15% of Americans say they agree with Trump on all or nearly all issues, while another 18% say they agree with him on many but not all issues. Most say they agree with Trump on either a few issues (21%) or “no or almost no issues” (45%).

Setting issues aside, a majority (58%) say they do not like the way Trump conducts himself as president, while 25% have mixed feelings about his conduct. Just 16% say they like the way he conducts himself as president.

Among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, just 31% say they agree with Trump on all or nearly all issues, while an additional 38% agree with him on many, but not all, issues. Fully 93% of Democrats and Democratic leaners say they agree with Trump on, at most, a few issues, including 77% who report virtually no agreement with Trump on issues.

In views of Trump’s conduct as president, 46% of Republicans express mixed feelings, while 19% say they do not like his conduct; 34% say they like the way he conducts himself as president. Among Democrats, 89 have a negative view of Trump’s conduct.

The survey finds that most Republicans and Republican leaners favor Trump listening more to members of the party with experience in government. Nearly six-in-ten (58%) say Trump should listen more to Republicans who have experience working in government, while 34% say he should listen less. However, conservative Republicans (52%) are less likely than moderate and liberal Republicans (70%) to say Trump needs to listen more to members of the GOP with experience in government.

Whatever happened to the Trilateral Commission and the Illuminati thingies? It's just starting to seem that with conspiracy theories these days, the more exotic and individualistic, the better. Kinda elitist, that!

Sure, Ocean-kat, but Nate Silver has pretty thoroughly debunked the idea of the Shy Trump vote. Polls have managed to be quite accurate.

In reply to Really? Trump supporters are

No, not shy wallflowers. I think the point twisted is trying to make is that Trump's base is so stupid and paranoid that they might refuse to answer poll questions anonymously for fear they might be discovered and the white oppressors might say nasty things about them. Perhaps a bit exaggerated but I don't think twisted is far off the mark.
