Trump claims one thing, Pruitt another, in spite of that wacky resignation letter because Divine Intervention made him do all those stupid things, but maybe Ritz-Carlton hand lotion is just that good, especially with Chik-fil-A.
Even Frank Luntz piled on…
MSM is trying to claim something (that Trump’s approval rating climbed) that only might exist as a margin of error, complete with strange historical comparisons to midterm years for electoral defeat.
President Donald Trump’s approval rating climbed to 44 percent, up four points from April, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Thursday.
Trump’s 44 percent approval rating matches those of former Presidents Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan in June of 2010 and 1982, respectively, midterm years in which their parties suffered significant electoral defeats in the House.
Among those polled, 60 percent said they are satisfied with the U.S. economy and 44 percent said Trump deserves credit for its strength, a four-point increase in that number over a year ago.
But despite the credit that many of those polled said the president deserves for the economy’s strength, that recognition did not appear to translate into enthusiasm for the GOP in the upcoming midterm elections.
Forty-eight percent of those polled said they would be more likely to support a candidate who promises to provide a check on the president while just 23 percent said they would be less likely to support such a candidate.
