Through months of impeachment proceedings, Democrats, with the help of a parade of witnesses, have hammered away at President Trump for abusing power. Yet as the House prepares to vote on impeaching him, Trump's approval rating is virtually unchanged from before the process started — neither cratering from the negative news or benefiting from any large-scale backlash against impeachment.
This has become a pattern for Trump, whose approval rating (while historically low) is the most stable in history — or at least since Gallup started measuring presidential approval during the Harry Truman presidency. Since taking office, Trump has never polled higher than 46% or lower than 35%,

FTA: It seems that opinions on Trump are set like they have never been for any previous president, impervious to changes based on negative news, or successes...
Someone else is still Sovereign.
Advently...
MAGA

The author only mentions Gallup. Numerous other polls have had PDT at over 50%. And he’s still higher than Smidgen was at this point in his first term, despite the constant tongue baths given to Smidgen by the media and the constant attacks aimed at PDT. Just imagine where the country would be if the media, congress and the left treated PDT the way they did 0bama.

The media admitted in the Kerry campaign for president that they can manipulate the numbers for any candidate they choose, either up or down, up to 15 points. Trump's numbers are so stable because they know they would finally be completely exposed for the liars they are if they go too low. People are not stupid, not like democrates want to believe. So any poll you see add about 15-20 points and you will have the true number. The ABC political analyst who admitted to the scam? Mark Halperin is now in political obscurity instead of being ABC's go to guy.

Polls always run lower for Republicans and conservatives. It is because their voters are more prone to the belief that polls are meaningless so they either don't respond or give false responses. Having said that, do everything you can to get the conservatives to vote, we will need every vote to counter the Dim voter fraud.

So who the hell participates in these polls anyway. Who has the time? If you are hanging out in mom and dad's basement playing video games while you wait for your next black bandanna and hoodie event you could just be a tad more available than if you happened to be carrying your own weight in society.

It is not just the stability but understatement that is the key. We saw that on election night 2016.

The President is accepted into most households. What else can you say? He is a genuine what you see is what you get guy. The dims, msm, deep state, and the globalists here are total frauds. Folks like a guy who stands up for them. Folks don't like others whose only interest is to reduce us to worthless serfs.

He fights back in the same manner as 'Old Hickory' Andrew Jackson, and our leftist Congress-pukes can't stand it... hell, even Ruth Bader can't stand it. POTUS is setting the standard for future Presidents to stand up to Congress and make THEM come to HIM to make deals. Let's hope he VETOs this new pork-laden omnibus spending bill and makes them all scramble. They think they have HIM over a barrel to sign it.

Its hard to accept any of these numbers knowing what we do about over-sampling of Democrats. The media does it now knowing we all know it is going on. How much did they do it in the past when no one noticed?

Today is a day that will live in infamy - for the whole democrat party. Remember that it was they who fired the first shot.

Not only are polls meaningless, they are weighted to specific questions that beg specific answers. Think tanks dream up the questions, the weight of questions and the placement of the questions on the list. I consider it my patriotic duty to lie to a pollster or give misleading answers. Thank you for calling.

Trump is creating jobs. The fake impeachment hearings are a major turnoff. The media and Congress have lost their credibility.
All of this works in the favor of Donald Trump.

Enemedia pumping hate and lies via Fake News 24/7 keeps Trump's ratings from being 60-70%, but they can't fool those who have decided.

#7 you must live in a red state because that just isn't the case in CA. Most households around me don't like this President at all.
