Latest poll: 92% of Reps approve of Trump, 5% of Dems, 39% of Independents.

If you look at the details of most approval ratings of Trump, they also show Trump still has high approval ratings amongst Republicans.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/658661/republicans-men-push-trump-approval-higher-second-term.aspx


As a follow-up to the overall job approval question, Gallup asked Americans who either approve or disapprove of Trump whether they do so “strongly” or “moderately.” Most Americans have strong opinions, including 32% who approve strongly and 46% who disapprove strongly of how Trump is handling his job.

This strength of approval/disapproval question was asked at least once in each year of Trump’s first term. Between 2017 and 2020, he earned strong approval ratings from 26% to 33% of Americans, and strong disapproval ratings from 36% to 44% of Americans.

Partisans’ current views of Trump are highly polarized — 91% of Democrats strongly disapprove of Trump’s performance, while 78% of Republicans strongly approve. Forty-six percent of independents strongly disapprove, and 20% strongly approve.

39 percent of independents is way less than a majority of Americans. Why post such misleading crap?

They do not want to be forced to be "politically correct.'

That's what this election was all about.

Speaking of Ike, will the SBA even still be around after TCF is through wrecking it? I believe Ike helped bring it about.

Except us. We are in the “Walking Dead.” A group of people (us) are trying to get away from the zombies.

Assuming 25% R, 25% D, 50% I & proportional sampling;
92% of 25% is 23%
5% of 25% is 1.25%
39% of 50% is 19.5%
Add those up, and we get 43.75%.
Which is about the surprisingly high number we regularly diacuss here.
