Trump Soars To Highest Job Approval Rating Of Presidency Despite Impeachment Trial
Rep. Adam Schiff has been holding court for days in the Senate, laying out the House’s case against President Donald Trump.
But no one cares. On the second day of the trial, the snoozefest drew fewer than 9 million viewers (that’s a million or so fewer the average nightly viewing of Jeopardy, the Washington Examiner noted).
Story continues below advertisementAnd senators are shocked that the galleries above the Senate — where average Americans can sit during the supposedly historic trial — have been half empty day after day.
Here’s something less shocking: “President Trump’s approval rating has climbed to match the highest of his presidency, boosted by majority approval of his economic stewardship even as Americans remain deeply divided on whether the Senate should remove him from office, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll.”
That’s right, Trump’s approval has been going up, not down, during the impeachment trial.
“The Post-ABC poll finds 44 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s overall job performance and 51 percent disapprove. While views of Trump remain negative, Trump’s approval rating is significantly improved from his 38 percent mark in late October,” The Post wrote.
But there were a few interesting findings in the data. Among registered voters, those considered more likely to vote, that 44/51 split rises to 47/50. And among independents, which helped push Trump to victory in 2016, the numbers are even better at 47/48.
More: 56% of those surveyed approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, up 10 percentage points from September and his highest mark since he took office on January 20, 2017.
“The findings suggest the country’s strong economy and heightened support from men and independents are helping Trump weather an impeachment trial in which Democrats have argued Trump abused his presidential powers and obstructed a congressional investigation of his actions. Trump’s 44 percent approval mark is similar to other recent national polls, though other polls have shown Trump’s rating stable or increasing slightly,” The Post wrote.
The poll’s finding were predictable when it came to partisan politics. “Partisans continue to be starkly divided on Trump’s fate, with more than 8 in 10 Democrats supporting his removal and more than 8 in 10 Republicans opposed. Independents narrowly lean against removal, with 42 percent saying the Senate should remove Trump from office while 51 percent say it should not.”
In another poll, this one by Gallup, Americans’ confidence in the U.S. economy was even higher — in fact, the highest at any point in about two decades. “The latest figure from Gallup’s Economic Confidence Index is +40, the highest reading recorded since +44 in October 2000.”
Gallup also noted that “tracking of economic confidence over the past 28 years has recorded index readings at or above the +40 mark in just nine other measurements, all between 1998 and 2000 — with the highest level recorded in January 2000, at +56”:
Americans’ buoyant confidence in the economy in Gallup’s latest poll, conducted Jan. 2-15, likely reflects the U.S. unemployment rate’s continued stay at a 50-year low. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average continues to reach record highs — and flirts with reaching the 30,000 marker.
Gallup’s Economic Confidence Index is the average of two components: Americans’ ratings of current economic conditions and their views on whether the economy is getting better or getting worse. The index has a theoretical maximum of +100, achieved if all Americans believe the economy is excellent or good and getting better. The theoretical minimum is -100, if all Americans say the economy is poor and getting worse.
The current conditions component score of +54 is the result of 62% of Americans saying the economy is “excellent” or “good” and 8% describing it as “poor.” Meanwhile, the economic outlook component score of +26 is the result of 59% saying the economy is “getting better” and 33% saying it is “getting worse.”

The Trump administration is working hard on many levels to change the direction of the worlds moral compass. By standing up to the abortionists, the environmentalists, the globalists, the atheists and the islamists, he is getting blowback the likes of which the world has never seen. Perhaps even the word Hitler comes to mind when describing the level of vitriol and hatred coming from the left.
Right on cue, we now get word Resister-in-Chief Obama has called Trump out as a “fascist” that must be stopped. Think about that for a minute. The President of the United States being called a fascist by his predecessor.
The world sits on a precipice. The stakes have never been higher. Our moral compass truly is hanging in the balance. How will you vote this November?

I have to disagree. Liberal Democrats are afraid of the Leftist Democrats and that makes them just as bad and maybe even evil.

It’s kind of hard to change our moral compass when AMERICA HAS LOST HER MORALITY (homosexuality, abortions, lying and deceiving Politicians and Leaders in Government and in Businesses).
God gave us one last chance with Trump……………….THIS IS IT. If he is not re-elected, AMERICA IS DONE……….OVER………..FINISHED.
So, clean and reload your brass and stock up on the essentials because Dems are going to take everything you have FOR THEMSELVES, especially if you are a Republican or Independent. ME, I will go down with my last bullet and will be welcomed by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Congress THINKS We, the People in America are ignorant and stupid. TRUE PATRIOTIC CONSTITUTION-LOVING AMERICANS and even those who really don’t follow the news or what is happening to Society, see how Trump has made America GREAT again. Anyone who doesn’t see this or who has so much hatred for a man because of what they HEAR yet don’t know for a fact, are the Democrat PUPPETS or useful idiots. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE TELLS YOU SOMETHING ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE, DOES NOT MAKE IT TRUE! If that someone tells you 2nd and 3rd-hand information, YOU HAD BETTER INVESTIGATE YOURSELVES. If our Court System DOES NOT ACCEPT HEARSAY, then Congress should not! YET THEY DO. This is why we need to vote all Democrats out of office.
The Dems are so desperate to keep Trump from winning this next election, they will LIE AND DECEIVE to meet their goals of destroying a great President and making America a Socialist or Communist country.
WE, THE PEOPLE CANNOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. We must vote and we must tell everyone we know what the Dems are trying to do against all of us not just President Trump.
THIS IMPEACHMENT IS AN IMPEACHMENT AGAINST WE, THE PEOPLE!
It is us they hate the most.

This Impeachment IS DISGUSTING only because I KNOW IT IS ALL A HUGE LIE by the Democrats to keep Trump from winning this year’s re-election and this is why I refuse to watch them lie boldly as they tell their web of lies to the American people and the Senate.
WHY MCCONNELL DOESN’T JUST CALL THIS WHAT IT IS IS TOTALLY BEYOND ME.
I am even disgusted by the lackluster of our Conservative Senate. They are the dreariest, laziest, no-outrage people I have ever seen in my life. GOD IS ASHAMED OF THEM ALL, I KNOW IT.
God is going to JUDGE every liar and deceiver who holds a leadership position anywhere in America (and in the world) VERY, VERY HARSHLY because HE GAVE THEM THOSE POSITIONS, and by their own free will, THEY BARGAINED WITH THE DEVIL.
GOD WILL JUDGE EVEN THE CONSERVATIVES, BUT THE DEMS WILL GET THE HARSHEST PUNISHMENT.
Good luck, Dems. Keep it up. GOD IS WATCHING ALL OF YOU. YOUR END IS COMING VERY SOON, JUST LIKE IT DID FOR KOBE BRYANT. No one knows if they will see tomorrow……GOD DOES.

For perspective, the commiecrat dog and pony show drew fewer viewers than reruns of the soapie “The Bold and the Beautiful”.
Like advertisements on TV, it was an opportune time to visit the crapper.

The Commiecrats and their fellow-travelers staged this impeachment to satisfy the blood lust of their Libtard zealots that make up their base. They know they won’t win 2020,but nevermind,they intend to steal the election.,
