But since you asked, The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 47% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance.
Yeah, but that's not the whole story is it?
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll-Wednesday, April 12, 2017The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 47% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove.
The latest figures include 29% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 43% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14. Trends
So, the "support" was a combination of "Somewhat Approve" and "Strongly Approve". As the numbers show, only 29% of the responders said they Strongly Approve the job the president is doing...On the downside, a much larger number 43% "Strongly Disapprove" of his job approval.
29% Strongly Approve, 43% Strongly Disapprove–I wouldn't consider that much of a win.
BTW, Trump's Approval Index of -14 is down a bit from his high of -19 which was on 4-10-17 and 4-4-17 and 4-3-17 and 3-31-17. So, yes, going from a -19 to a -14 is a win I suppose...but on 1-20-17 when sworn in his index was +2 and a 38% Strongly Approve. So, there's a downward trend overall.
Let's compare that with Obama's final job approval...
Date Approval Index Strongly Approve Strongly Disapprove Total Approve Total Disapprove
17-Jan-17 +12 41% 29% 62% 38%
So, ya might want to look a bit closer at numbers when you throw them out.
Trump's ratings suck, BIGLY!!!Say, you know, that "Strongly Approve" number of 29% sure sounds like the 27% of potential voters that voted for Trump. But here's the thing about those Trump voters that are still strongly supporting Trump, the shit ain't hit the fan yet over just how screwed over those Trump supporters are going to be (the hand writing is already on the wall but it hasn't totally sunk in yet).
