President’s Approval Rating Skyrockets After Soleimani Strike
By Daily Wire, January 112, 2020:
President Donald Trump’s approval rating has ticked up substantially since he launched a targeted strike, killing Iranian general Qassem Soleimani and striking a significant blow against Iranian involvement in destabilizing the fledgling Iraqi government.
Real Clear Politics reports that Trump’s overall approval rating, culled from several separate polls, has risen sharply over the last several weeks and ticked up significantly after the United States killed Soleimani — a move that leftists derided as overly aggressive and indicative of a potential “World War III.”

His disapproval rating is down to 52.3% from a high of 58.1% on Dec. 16, 2017.”
The president’s approval numbers seem to track with overall American approval of the Soleimani strike. According to The Hill, to Morning Consult, and to YouGov, which conducted a poll on the matter last week, a plurality of Americans — 47% — approve of the president’s decision to eliminate the head of Iran’s Quds Force, while around 40% disapprove.
“The survey, which was released on Wednesday but conducted before Iran responded to the strike by firing rockets at Iraqi bases housing U.S. troops, found that 47 percent of American voters supported Trump’s move to authorize a drone strike on Soleimani outside the Baghdad airport last week. Forty percent of voters said they opposed the decision, while 14 percent said they did not have an opinion,” the Washington, D.C.-based outlet reported.
Approval of the strike broke down along party lines — no surprise given the current acrimonious partisan landscape.
Later polls showed a breakdown of support, but only when respondents were asked if they approved of Trump’s handling of the Middle East conflict overall. Most of those polls were taken before tensions cooled late last week, amid allegations that Iran shot down a Ukrainian airliner with an errant anti-aircraft missile.
Trump’s approval rating is flying in the face of predictions. Last week, CNN suggested that Trump would not see a polling “bump” in the wake of Soleimani’s death because Trump was too divisive a figure in American politics: “Trump’s extremely steady approval rating and a growing partisanship in the US may prove stronger than that ‘rally around the flag’ bump.”President Barack Obama did not see gains when he launched his own military strike, CNN explained, perhaps in part because of an electorate severely fractured along party lines.
The response to Soleimani’s death, though, has apparently shocked critics of the administration, who predicted dire consequences, including heightened tensions in the Middle East and a possible global conflict. Eager to present the chief architect of Iran’s insidious plan to destabilize the region as an “official,” or a respected member of global leadership, news organizations were quick to broadcast Soleimani’s funeral as a national event.
Just this weekend, however, Iranians opposed to the rogue nation’s leadership took to the streets to protest the Ayatollah and the Iranian government and celebrate Soleimani’s death.

That’s open for debate.
I think he was more of a Republican than a Democrat.
The Democratic-Republican Party (known at the time as the Republican Party and various other names)[a] was an American political party founded by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in the early 1790s that championed republicanism, political equality, and expansionism.

Leftist Chatterbox Jessica Tarlov says Joe Biten has been “exceptionally durable” as a Presidential candidate.
And Biten probably will continue to be durable, until that morning in November when he wakes up as the biggest loser of all time in the history of American Presidential Politics by more than 2-1.
LOL!

It would be allot higher if the MSM told the truth and our “education” wasn’t so anti-American.
Here I thought NATO was initially formed to protect Europe from Russia.

I am suprised Biden has lasted.
Joe Biden took part in CNN’s town hall on climate change, and viewers were shocked when his left eye noticeably got red and appeared to fill with blood. Biden has kept his medical history under wraps since 2008 when he was diagnosed with a serious condition. Luckily, we have uncovered what his campaign doesn’t want you to know.
(You will know WHY the establishment wants Biden. He has a history of major medical issues….
and won’t last long. WHO his VP is will matter….)
Former Vice President Joe Biden’s left eye filled with blood while he was onstage Wednesday during a CNN town hall on climate change, apparently from a burst blood vessel. Biden was in the middle of speaking when his eye appeared to fill with blood, and he seemed not to notice.

Biden may not be here four years from now. On the off chance that he becomes President, who is he chooses as his VP becomes critical.

WHAT??? How could this possibly be??? Why the vaunted AOL/Huffington Post actually produced a poll that said most Americans by a significant margin disapproved of our president’s actions in Iran…I think even the master of propaganda, J. Goebbels is sitting up in his grave and laughing at them…
