The narrative seemed set: After a brief surge of public support for President Donald Trump in the early days of America's fight against the coronavirus, his approval numbers had settled back into the low 40s.
Right? Right.
Except that in Gallup's latest two-week tracking poll, Trump's job approval is back to 49% -- matching the highest it's ever been -- while his disapproval is at 47%.
That marks a 6-point improvement on Trump's approval number from the last Gallup tracking poll. And that improvement comes exclusively from independents -- 47% of whom now approve of the job Trump is doing, the best he has ever done among that group in Gallup polling.

And darn, we tried as hard as we could to bring them down.
Just like we boosted the poll numbers of Emperor Obama the First, may his name be praised and his word used to be law.

Grousing is hardly a magnet for support. The public demanded government do something...and it has. I don't care for much of it, but the public approves.

Which is really bad news for the dems because a lot of Trump supporters don't talk to pollsters and refuse to answer their questions.

I know some otherwise normal people-old friends and not old people-- who've acquired a lethal case of TDS from nonstop CNN watching.

Hmmmm. And what has happened recently that might have raised Trump's numbers (as fake as the whole polling process is)? Something that the media hates? Maybe ... the daily briefings that allow Trump and his administration to talk directly to the American People without the hate filter from the media?
The American People have found out that Trump and his team are thoughtful, prepared, and effective. They have seen the crisis peak and start to subside. They have seen the death rate, while high, nowhere near 2 to 20 million that had been predicted. They have seen hospitals desperately demanded by panicky Governors like Cuomo get built in a few days or floated in and yet, lightly used. They have seen hospital crowding start to ease off. They have seen statements by dem Governors that Trump has met their needs. They have seen the Trump team whip up a supply chain out of nothing and help to meet protective gear needs when the Governors found out they had bungled having sufficient supplies stockpiled. They have seen testing skyrocket.
In short, in the face of unprecedented challenge, they have seen Trump's administration respond effectively and compassionately. And they have seen the leaders reminding us about the progress and reassure us EVERY day. Even though it wasn't structured this way, Trump just got a couple billion in campaign ads for $0 cost. People like Cillizza know it and it is torturing them.

Rasmussen has him back at 49, They were the most accurate for the 2016 election so I will go with them.Gallup is registered voters, Rasmussen is likely voters. And Helmut Norpoth who was the only one to predict his win this far out in the 2016 election says according to his model (he does not use polls) Trump will win this coming Nov unless the evangelicals quit on him and that does not seem likely.

People want the lockdown to end. Some governors are going to pay the price.

I never miss a chance to NOT read the Fake News and drivel that Cillizza puts out.
I'll take this opportunity to not read beyond this intro, too.
It probably angers these TDS haters even more.

Americans are beginning to realize they've been had....not by Trump, but by the establishment media, dems, and health services.
Trump tried to warn and prevent it very loudly and it was duly noted, imho.
By the same token, D governors are slitting their own throats, don't we agree ? Lock-downs, theft of freedoms won't be forgiven.

Sometimes fewer is better, starting with daily press briefings. Most viewers would prefer not to see a president--any president--on the news every night. It becomes oppressive, not unlike the ubiquitous paintings,photos and statues of Mao once were in China. When he gives it a rest, Trump's numbers always go up.
