Rasmussen’s poll shows President Trump with strong support, a clear rejection of the Democratic Party. It will be interesting to see how the rabid Democratic talking heads at CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post frame these numbers. After all, they deny that Trump’s landslide victory is a mandate. Somehow I expect the lamestream media to claim that Trump’s high approval rating is a good thing for liberals.
But, I liken the election results to the baseball team that lost a game by a 63 to 1 score. The game was not as close as the score might indicate. The Democrats kept insisting that Iowa and Texas were in play, but they ended up being unable to win a single swing state. They’ve lost the popular vote despite the fact that New York usually and California assure them of that victory.
According to the latest Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll, as of Thursday, 56% of likely U.S. voters approve of his job performance, while only 40% disapprove. Notably, 40% of voters strongly approve of Trump’s leadership compared to 34% who strongly disapprove, giving him a solid Presidential Approval Index rating of +6.

Some readers wonder how we come up with our job approval ratings for the president since they often don’t show as dramatic a change as some other pollsters do. It depends on how you ask the question and whom you ask.
To get a sense of longer-term job approval trends for the president, Rasmussen Reports compiles our tracking data on a full month-by-month basis.
Rasmussen Reports has been a pioneer in the use of automated telephone polling techniques, but many other firms still utilize their own operator-assisted technology (see methodology).
Reuters/Ipsos had Trump at +6 approval among adults in their first job approval survey.
Just under half of Americans (47%) approve of how Donald Trump is performing as president. This percentage is slightly higher than the first time Reuters/Ipsos measured Trump’s approval rating when he took office in January 2017 (43%) . His approval rating is driven by partisanship, with Democrats not approving (84%) and Republicans approving (91%) at high rates. Independents are split, with 44% approving and 45% disapproving.
InsiderAdvantage pollster Matt Towery said in a statement:
“This survey marks an amazing first job performance approval for Donald Trump. Obviously his speech today, regardless of coverage, was well accepted. Also of note, Trump’s decision to spare TikTok caused his support among younger voters to soar to that same fifty-six percent approval number. It is rare to ever see a Republican president do so well with the youngest segment of voters.”
Finally, a SoCal Strategies poll found Trump to have a +13 job approval, with 49% approving and just 36% disapproving.
