There is no such thing as a “popular vote”, dumbass.The gallup poll has been measuring Presidential approval ratings since the 1940s, longer than any other company or organization involved in polling. Here is how the Presidents rank:
OVERALL AVERAGE APPROVAL RATING WHILE PRESIDENT:
John F. Kennedy - 70%
Dwight D. Eisenhower - 65%
George H.W. Bush - 61%
Lyndon B. Johnson - 55%
Bill Clinton - 55%
Ronald Reagan - 53%
George W. Bush - 49%
Richard Nixon - 49%
Barack Obama - 48%
Gerald Ford - 47%
Jimmy Carter - 46%
Harry S. Truman - 45%
Donald J. Trump - 39%
After nearly 2 years as President, having an overall approval rating of 39% is not a good place to be at. It may go up or down from here, but as time goes back, its likely to solidify around this number of 39%. Donald Trump has never had even a daily or weekly approval rating above 45%. There has never been a President with such a low probability of being re-elected based on the latest data.
Well, its been 5 months since I posted this and things have not really changed for Donald Trump. He now has less than two years left in office.
OVERALL AVERAGE APPROVAL RATING WHILE PRESIDENT:
John F. Kennedy - 70%
Dwight D. Eisenhower - 65%
George H.W. Bush - 61%
Lyndon B. Johnson - 55%
Bill Clinton - 55%
Ronald Reagan - 53%
George W. Bush - 49%
Richard Nixon - 49%
Barack Obama - 48%
Gerald Ford - 47%
Jimmy Carter - 46%
Harry S. Truman - 45%
Donald J. Trump - 40%
With less than two years left in his term, his overall average approval rating edged up a bit from 39% to 40%. It will likely fluctuate between 39% and 40% for the rest of his term. When I first posted this, it was at the 584 day point in time in office. Now were at 735 days in office. This is by far the worst average approval rating in United States history. You can't win re-election with numbers like this.
The Presidents current approval rating in GALLUP is 37%. Just slightly above is absolute low of 35% since he has been President.
Just a few facts:
the media does polls, the media hates trump
the same pollsters said Hillary could not lose, she lost
the same pollsters said Trump had no path to 270 EC votes, he got 306
the only poll that matters is the one taken every 4 years at the "polling" places around the country
polls today are designed to influence public opinion, not to report on it
polls today are a form of propaganda, nothing more
Well, keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better about Trumps chances in 2020. By the way, the national polls were correct when it came to the 2016 election. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes which is what all national polls were measuring.
Trump got lucky by winning by tiny margins in the 3 states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania to pull out an electoral college victory despite his defeat when it came to the popular vote. It was a fluke. It won't happen again in 2020 and the Gallup poll confirms that it won't happen.
The only “fluke” is the hate group known as the Democratic Party getting as many votes as Hillary did. Anti-white reactionary politics has doomed the Democrats.
The popular vote is the combined votes of everyone across the country. Trump received a total of 62,985,134 votes. Hillary received a total of 65,853,652 votes. Each candidates total vote count across the country is their popular vote.
