The President with the lowest overall average approval rating in history is......

[edward37]

Took him 4 years and 21k deaths???

Notice how he avoided the point that Nixon and Trump did what a liberal Democrat couldn't?

Did nixon punk out of service too,like trump did?,,,,lying yellow belly trump and you support him

You mean like Clinton did?

Clinton didn't pay off a doctor to lie about his heel,,,,,and so what ?You still have a lying yellow crook in your WH now and he can't shine Clintons shoes

No, Bill burned his draft card.....then cheated on his wife, and lied to you right to your face saying :I did not have sexual relations with that woman, and you believed him.....

And you andy would have admitted it in front of your family all America??? BULL SHIT

 

[U2Edge]

President, commander in chief, your daddy.

If you're happy with that dunce being your commander in chief so be it

Right, a man who became a multi billionaire, defeated over a dozen GOP candidates in the primary, then whooped Hillary's ass in the general is a dunce? Do you realize how stupid that sounds. You don't like Trump that's fine, but don't be stupid about it.

Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 by 3 million votes. He narrowly won the electoral college due to VERY narrow margins of victory in 3 states, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

Actually, he didn't.

We don't count the votes of illegal aliens that Obama told to go and vote.

You didn't know that?

The left are so butthurt over the Trump beat down they invent fantasy popular vote elections that never took place. No popular vote campaign strategies, campaign stops, no popular vote ads, nobody ran to win a popular vote yet they claim Trump somehow lost the popular vote its hilarious. Whenever a leftard starts in about the popular vote just point and laugh.

You have to win the popular vote in each state to win that states electoral college votes. So yes, everyone does run to win popular votes.

 

[U2Edge]

Imagine what JFK's rating would be if the media didn't create a fictional "camelot" and instead focused on JFK's prescription drug abuse and philandering. You almost gotta laugh that Harry Truman couldn't even get enough support in his own freaking party to run for a second full term and yet the Gallup has him at 45%. LBJ was a freaking joke and people were chanting in the streets when he was president and he quit just when we needed leadership but Gallup has him at 55%. The media created a freaking misery index during the Carter years but Gallup has him at 46%,. Does Gallup hae a political agenda or am I missing something?

When you take the average of something, it includes everything, low poll numbers, high poll numbers etc. The lower numbers for Carter get averaged out by the higher numbers he had earlier in his term. Same with other Presidents. Trumps highest poll number is only 45%. His lowest is 35%. His average over the course of the last 19 months is 39%.

Uncouth ,uncaring ,inhumane, uneducated braggart who needs lost of attention are some glowing terms I can come up with

President, commander in chief, your daddy.

yes, that is how winning is defined---------------306 EC votes, 270 needed. the entire PV vote delta was in California, it means absolutely nothing.

His victory in the 3 states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania were so narrow that he won't be able to repeat victory's in those states again. Trump is less popular now than he was on election night. Those states will be blue in 2020. Without them, Trump can't win re-election.

Let's see if you're right...

1.“Team Obama: Sorry, America, the ‘new normal’ may be here to stay

The good times may be over for good. In a speech to the Economic Club of New York yesterday, US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said the US GDP growth rate, adjusted for inflation, is now projected to run a little above 2% a year.”
Team Obama: Sorry, America, the 'new normal' may be here to stay - AEI


Then, along came Trump….

2.“U.S. households are back to their free spending ways, with the strength of May’s retail sales figures implying that second-quarter real consumption growth (and GDP growth for that matter) will now be more than 4% annualized.

With the benefit of the tax cuts, strong employment growth and a slow acceleration in hourly wage growth, consumption growth should remain strong going into the second half of this year,” Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics told MarketWatch.” US economy on track for 4% GDP growth?


3. Each point, by the way, means approximately $3 trillion and 10 million jobs,” @POTUS says https://cbsn.ws/2JZ4YIt

The U.S. Debt and How It Got So Big
Five Reasons Why America Is in Debt

Updated August 13, 2018
The U.S. debt is the sum of all outstanding debt owed by the federal government. It exceeded $21 trillion on March 15, 2018. The U.S. Treasury Department's "Debt to the Penny" shows the current total public debt outstanding. This figure changes everyday. The debt clock in New York also tracks it.

Two-thirds is debt held by the public. The government owes this to buyers of U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds. That includes individuals, companies, and foreign governments.

The remaining third is intragovernmental debt. The Treasury owes this to its various departments who hold Government Account securities. Social Security and other trust funds are the biggest owners. They have been running surpluses for years. The federal government uses these surpluses to pay for other departments. These securities will come due as baby boomers retire over the next two decades. Since Social Security and trust funds are the largest owners, the answer as to who owns the U.S. debt the most would be: everyone’s retirement money.

in the world for a single country. It runs neck and neck with that of the European Union, an economic union of 28 countries.

The debt is greater than what America produces in a whole year. This high debt-to-gross domestic product ratio tells investors that the country might have problems repaying the loans. That's a new and worrying occurrence for the United States. In 1988, the debt was only half of America's economic output.


budget deficits. Each new program and tax cut adds to the debt. These show up in budget deficits by president. The largest deficit goes to President Obama. He added the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus package, the Obama tax cuts, and $800 billion a year in military spending. These initiatives halted the 2008 financial crisis.

Although the national debt under Obama grew the most, dollar-wise, it wasn't the biggest percentage increase. That honor goes to Franklin D. Roosevelt. He only added $236 billion, but it was a 1,048 percent increase. He did this to fight the Great Depression and prepare the United States to enter World War II.


President Bush had the second largest deficit. He also fought the financial crisis with the $700 billion bailouts. Bush added the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act and the Jobs Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act tax cuts to end the 2001 recession. He responded to the 9/11 attacks with the War on Terror.


President Reagan cut taxes, increased defense spending, and expanded Medicare. All these presidents also suffered from lower tax receipts resulting from recessions.


Second, every president borrows from the Social Security Trust Fund. The Fund took in more revenue than it needed through payroll taxes leveraged on baby boomers. Ideally, this money should have been invested to be available when the boomers retire. Instead, the Fund was "loaned" to the government to finance increased spending. This interest-free loan helped keep Treasury Bond interest rates low, allowing more debt financing. But it must be repaid by increased taxes when the boomers do retire.


Third, countries like China and Japan buy Treasurys to keep their currencies low relative to the dollar. They are happy to lend to America, their largest customer, so it will keep buying their exports. Even though China warns the United States to lower its debt, it continues to buy Treasuries. But China has lowered its holdings of U.S. debt.


Fourth, the U.S. government has benefited from low interest rates. It couldn't keep running budget deficits if interest rates skyrocketed like they did in Greece. Why have interest rates remained low? Purchasers of Treasury bills are confident that America has the economic power to pay them back. During the recession, foreign countries increased their holdings of Treasury bonds as a safe haven investment. These holdings went from 13 percent in 1988 to 31 percent in 2011.


Fifth, Congress raises the debt ceiling. Congress sets a limit on the debt but still increases it. That didn't happen between 2011 through 2013, though. That was because the debt crisis resulted in a government shutdown and budget sequestration. In 2015, Congress suspended the ceiling until after the 2016 presidential elections. In 2017, it raised the debt ceiling until December 8, 2017.

Wrong again they were HUGE victories. Trump had to take a bunch of votes from Hillary then pile some more votes on top to win. Do you know what a blue state is?

The U.S. Debt and How It Got So Big
Five Reasons Why America Is in Debt

BY KIMBERLY AMADEO

Updated August 13, 2018
The U.S. debt is the sum of all outstanding debt owed by the federal government. It exceeded $21 trillion on March 15, 2018. The U.S. Treasury Department's "Debt to the Penny" shows the current total public debt outstanding. This figure changes everyday. The debt clock in New York also tracks it.

Two-thirds is debt held by the public. The government owes this to buyers of U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds. That includes individuals, companies, and foreign governments.

The remaining third is intragovernmental debt. The Treasury owes this to its various departments who hold Government Account securities. Social Security and other trust funds are the biggest owners. They have been running surpluses for years. The federal government uses these surpluses to pay for other departments. These securities will come due as baby boomers retire over the next two decades. Since Social Security and trust funds are the largest owners, the answer as to who owns the U.S. debt the most would be: everyone’s retirement money.

in the world for a single country. It runs neck and neck with that of the European Union, an economic union of 28 countries.

The debt is greater than what America produces in a whole year. This high debt-to-gross domestic product ratio tells investors that the country might have problems repaying the loans. That's a new and worrying occurrence for the United States. In 1988, the debt was only half of America's economic output.


budget deficits. Each new program and tax cut adds to the debt. These show up in budget deficits by president. The largest deficit goes to President Obama. He added the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus package, the Obama tax cuts, and $800 billion a year in military spending. These initiatives halted the 2008 financial crisis.

Although the national debt under Obama grew the most, dollar-wise, it wasn't the biggest percentage increase. That honor goes to Franklin D. Roosevelt. He only added $236 billion, but it was a 1,048 percent increase. He did this to fight the Great Depression and prepare the United States to enter World War II.


President Bush had the second largest deficit. He also fought the financial crisis with the $700 billion bailouts. Bush added the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act and the Jobs Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act tax cuts to end the 2001 recession. He responded to the 9/11 attacks with the War on Terror.


President Reagan cut taxes, increased defense spending, and expanded Medicare. All these presidents also suffered from lower tax receipts resulting from recessions.


Second, every president borrows from the Social Security Trust Fund. The Fund took in more revenue than it needed through payroll taxes leveraged on baby boomers. Ideally, this money should have been invested to be available when the boomers retire. Instead, the Fund was "loaned" to the government to finance increased spending. This interest-free loan helped keep Treasury Bond interest rates low, allowing more debt financing. But it must be repaid by increased taxes when the boomers do retire.


Third, countries like China and Japan buy Treasurys to keep their currencies low relative to the dollar. They are happy to lend to America, their largest customer, so it will keep buying their exports. Even though China warns the United States to lower its debt, it continues to buy Treasuries. But China has lowered its holdings of U.S. debt.


Fourth, the U.S. government has benefited from low interest rates. It couldn't keep running budget deficits if interest rates skyrocketed like they did in Greece. Why have interest rates remained low? Purchasers of Treasury bills are confident that America has the economic power to pay them back. During the recession, foreign countries increased their holdings of Treasury bonds as a safe haven investment. These holdings went from 13 percent in 1988 to 31 percent in 2011.


Fifth, Congress raises the debt ceiling. Congress sets a limit on the debt but still increases it. That didn't happen between 2011 through 2013, though. That was because the debt crisis resulted in a government shutdown and budget sequestration. In 2015, Congress suspended the ceiling until after the 2016 presidential elections. In 2017, it raised the debt ceiling until December 8, 2017.

If the forecast is accurate, it will come on top of a strong 4.1 percent second quarter…” Atlanta Fed predicts 5% jump in economic growth for third quarter


Let me know if you need more anodyne.....

I just wanted to prove that your hatred of the President is irrational.

Imagine what JFK's rating would be if the media didn't create a fictional "camelot" and instead focused on JFK's prescription drug abuse and philandering. You almost gotta laugh that Harry Truman couldn't even get enough support in his own freaking party to run for a second full term and yet the Gallup has him at 45%. LBJ was a freaking joke and people were chanting in the streets when he was president and he quit just when we needed leadership but Gallup has him at 55%. The media created a freaking misery index during the Carter years but Gallup has him at 46%,. Does Gallup hae a political agenda or am I missing something?

When you take the average of something, it includes everything, low poll numbers, high poll numbers etc. The lower numbers for Carter get averaged out by the higher numbers he had earlier in his term. Same with other Presidents. Trumps highest poll number is only 45%. His lowest is 35%. His average over the course of the last 19 months is 39%.

Sooooo......that means Hillary gets to take over?


No?


That must hurt.....every single day.

This is a list of polling averages for the Presidents. It has nothing to do with Hillary.

If you're happy with that dunce being your commander in chief so be it

Right, a man who became a multi billionaire, defeated over a dozen GOP candidates in the primary, then whooped Hillary's ass in the general is a dunce? Do you realize how stupid that sounds. You don't like Trump that's fine, but don't be stupid about it.

Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 by 3 million votes. He narrowly won the electoral college due to VERY narrow margins of victory in 3 states, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

yes, that is how winning is defined---------------306 EC votes, 270 needed. the entire PV vote delta was in California, it means absolutely nothing.

His victory in the 3 states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania were so narrow that he won't be able to repeat victory's in those states again. Trump is less popular now than he was on election night. Those states will be blue in 2020. Without them, Trump can't win re-election.

Wrong again they were HUGE victories. Trump had to take a bunch of votes from Hillary then pile some more votes on top to win. Do you know what a blue state is?

1. Ok, in that sense you might be able to say its a major accomplishment.
2. But, the margin of victory is still tiny in these three states despite whatever the level of accomplishment you think it took to win them.
3. Because the margin of victory is so tiny, the probability of winning these three states in 2020 is virtually nil given that Trump is less popular today than he was in 2016.

Bro an experienced GOP politician winning just won of those states would be big, that an amateur who had never run for office before won 3 is huge. Now is Trump that good? No, fact is Dem's took a giant shit on their own blue collar base. First chance these people had they bolted from the Dem party. Trump offered them an alternative and fed up they said **** it may as well give Trump a chance.
