    Give him a chance. He has a big base of hateful bigots and his approval rating is climbing. He’s currently at 50%. Are you locked in a big liberal city or something? Where I am at people absolutely rave about him. I’ve never seen banners for presidents hanging on homes, so many bumper stickers. Even in NYC, every gift shop is full of trump memorabilia. He’s wildly popular and while polarizing factors will make approval ratings and averages not get much higher than 50%, the hateful scum that love him really love him.

        There are constant polls on ‘popularity’. Fox News has recent data and Marquette and Reuters do too. Sure these are imperfect but it’s a pretty sane thing to say he is beloved / popular. Denying that is what had people so shocked when he one the popular vote. People are so siloed now that they fail to see how so much of the population really likes the guy. This willful ignorance is dangerous.

        Saw the same kind of denial about Putin. People not in touch with real Russians felt he was a just a feared overlord. Truth is majority of people there really like him.

          Popularity and approval rating are not the same. Approval trating is asking peoplehow he is doing as POTUS. Popularity determines if you know who they are.

            Not if you know who they are but if you like them. Trump is well liked by many if not most Americans. A decent amount of people downright practically worship the guy. In the sense that he is a dumb senile oaf he is not classically charismatic, but he has the attention and artificial grandeur attached to him that is usually related to charisma.

              No, popularity is if you recognize the name

              Likeability is if you like them.

              Approval rating is how you feel about the job they are doung.

              These things all have real meanings in polling. There are no approval polls for the first day available immediately. His first approval poll will come out on Monday.

              Your perception based on what you see around ypu might not reflect how the nation feels as a whole.

                You are mislead. Have you ever been a political activist and done door to door polling? I have. What is your alleged source in this? You are spreading misinformation on what popularity polling is.

                  Yes, I have assembled polls too as a poll worker. I studied polling as part of my college degree.

                  You have no clue what you are talking about and frankly I don’t think going door to door and asking the questions means you understand polling as you weren’t collating and assembling the data. Had you done that part you would realize that you cannot do an approval poll in 24 hours.
