A new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds President Trump remains poorly rated overall as 56% of Americans disapprove of his job performance, versus 40% who approve, and “strong” disapprovers outnumber strong approvers by nearly 2-1.

“Still, it’s numerically Trump’s highest approval rating in a year, coming just as consumer confidence reached its best since February 2001 in the weekly Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index. And while he’s 16 points underwater in approval overall, Trump gets essentially an even split for his handling of the economy –- 46% to 48%.”

“Among the most prominent elements of public attitudes toward Trump is the vast gender gap in his basic ratings. While men divide evenly on his job performance, 49% to 47%, women disapprove by a 2-1 margin, 32% to 64%.”

1. Brainwashing/propaganda works - and he is dropping bombs.

Many people really love the bombing.

4. How are these polls done Are they online, by phone, what?

Who are these people and why are they so damn crazy? Nothing this guy has done in the last year and a quarter has been a positive for the country or its' people.

5. I know those aren't good poll numbers, but I still can't fathom

how they can be that high. Are his supporters ashamed to admit that they backed a train wreck or do they really believe he's doing a good job?

6. He is the embodiment of what his supporters have wanted for a long time.

They want an authoritarian government led by a man who hates the same people they do. He is exactly the man to fit the bill.

7. I know you scrupulously copy headlines without edits but the 40% figure should have been fitted in.

40% is awful.
