From 90 To 43: Latest Polls Expose Overstated Trump Popularity

A recent poll has challenged the House Speaker’s claim that Donald Trump is 90 percent popular.

In a recent appearance on CNBC News, Mike Johnson extolled the virtues of the President of the United States.

“[Trump’s] approval ratings are skyrocketing,” raved Johnson. “CNN had a story a day or two ago — he was at a 90 percent approval rating! There’s never been a president that high,” he went on to claim.

However, according to a July 17 CNN article, a recent poll the news organization conducted revealed that only 42% of Americans support the president and 37% believe he has set the correct goals.

Additionally, according to a different poll conducted by Reuters and IPSOS, 41% of US voters who cast ballots supported Trump’s administration.

More than half (55 percent) of respondents to a third poll conducted by The Economist do not approve of the president.

According to Rasmussen Reports, as of July 18, half of Americans support the businessman-turned-politician, making it the most positive survey for Trump in recent years.

I hear you question, so where and how did Johnson arrive at a 90 percent approval rating? According to MSNBC, the House Speaker is alleged to have disregarded Democrats’ opinions about Trump in favor of discussing Republicans’ feelings about the president.

According to the CNN survey Johnson cited, 88 percent of Republicans support the president; it appears that Johnson rounded this figure up to 90 without much thought.

Although the Trump administration likes to believe that the president is among the most popular in American politics, according to AZ Central, Bill Clinton actually received 66 percent of the vote.

Barack Obama’s approval rating during the height of his presidency was 59 percent, while Ronald Reagan came in second with 63 percent.

The lowest ever recorded? Nixon, Richard. He received a pitiful 24 percent approval rating. Aww.

Trump’s 100-day approval rating was lower than any other president in the previous 60 years, although Nixon’s was startlingly high overall.

It appears that Americans’ opinions of Trump during his first term as president are comparable to his current approval numbers.

After Trump’s first 100 days in 2017, 42 percent of participants approved of him, which is comparable to CNN’s current ratings for the president, according to comparisons done last month.
