Thread: Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

Friday, March 03, 2017

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-seven percent (47%) disapprove.

The latest figures include 37% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 36% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of +1. (see trends).

Regular updates are posted Monday through Friday at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update).

This rolling three-day survey now includes two nights following the president’s nationally televised speech to a joint session of Congress and shows a three-point improvement in his overall approval rating since then.

We’ll tell you at 10:30 whether voters think Republicans in Congress should act quickly on the agenda the president laid out in his speech or should take their time to pick and choose.

At the first of the year, Republicans were more likely to identify with soon-to-be-President Trump than with the GOP Congress.

Republican Senator John McCain has been one of the president’s most vocal critics, but the majority of GOP voters aren’t listening. Most Democrats, on the other hand, see McCain as a better role model for the GOP than Trump.

The president’s plan for a big increase in defense spending is sweet music to the ears of his fellow Republicans but a sour note for Democrats.

Despite Puerto Rico’s ongoing fiscal issues, a sizable number of Americans support making the longtime U.S. commonwealth a state. There remains far less support for granting statehood to Washington, D.C.

Nearly one-third of all Americans – and even more Republicans - believe the United States would be better off or not impacted if California became a separate country.

Few Americans admit to cheating on their taxes, but more are worried about getting audited by the IRS than have been in the past.

Some readers wonder how we come up with our job approval ratings for the president since they often don’t show as dramatic a change as some other pollsters do. It depends on how you ask the question and whom you ask.

To get a sense of longer-term job approval trends for the president, Rasmussen Reports compiles our tracking data on a full month-by-month basis.

Rasmussen Reports has been a pioneer in the use of automated telephone polling techniques, but many other firms still utilize their own operator-assisted technology (see methodology).

Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Results are also compiled on a full-week basis and crosstabs for full-week results are available for Platinum Members.

On Tuesday, Feb 28, it was 50%, so he's come up a point a day since then. In January, he was at 59%. Need to get him back up there and it looks like approval is ticking up in spite of all the negative fake news publicity. Good news for US, bad news for DemoQuacks.

Everytime you use the word 'DemoQuacks' I crack up out loud Judy. President Trump has a steep hill to climb with so many against him and too many still probably believe the lamestream media.
