Tracking Trump - The President's approval for January 19th:
Bottom Line: This is one of two weekly tracking stories to get a reality/temperature check with regard to what's really going on with public opinion of the President. In this series we'll track the high point, low point and current ratings...
Trump's lowest ratings: 37% approval and 59% disapprove: -22% (8/4/17)
Trump highest approval ratings were an average 45% approval and 43% disapproval +2% (1/27/17):
Trump's current ratings: 40% approval and 55% disapprove: -15%
The President's overall approval rating was up a point this week (in the face of s-hole gate btw) but that's not the real story...The divide between the most informed and engaged compared to the least informed and least engaged remains the major and growing story.
As I've been tracking for several months now...The more likely someone is to vote, the higher the President's overall approval rating.
With adult only samples his rating over the past week averaged: 39%
Registered voters: 40%
Likely voters: 45%
That's a significant story - especially as we're entering the mid-term election cycle. The more informed/engaged you are politically, the more likely you are to approve of the president's performance. It also demonstrates that the most informed adults weren't persuaded by the tale tales in Wolff's book and haven't been moved by s-hole gate (or poo-gate if you prefer).
The range was Rasmussen –9% to Quinnipiac -19%
