    Rasmussen: Trump Approval at 53%

    Todays Rasmussen daily tracker puts President Trump’s approval rating at 53% among likely voters.

    The daily tracker has Trump’s approval at above 50% for the last 5 days, so this probably isn’t a fluke. Rasmussen put Trump ahead of Biden, 47%-46%, in their last poll of likely voters for President. The last time Trump was at 53% was September 24, 2019, the day Nancy Pelosi announced the House would try to impeach Trump.

    In 2012, during his reelection bid, Barack Obama had a maximum 49% approval rating.

    While Rasmussen is an outlier so far, they were one of the more accurate polls in 2016, probably because they only poll likely voters, instead of registered voters.



    Rasmussen also reports 45% of those surveyed think that Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in bringing peace deals with Israel, the UAE and Bahrain, as well as the Kosovo-Serbia Peace Deal, as well as keeping the United States out of new wars.

  • Rasmussen: Majority of Americans want Feds involved

    Rasmussen: Majority of Americans want Feds involved

    A new Rasmussen survey shows 55 percent of likely US voters think federal law enforcement officials should be used to fight the growing level of violent crime in several major cities since the cities appear unable or unwilling to handle the problem themselves. 36 percent oppose this federal anti-crime help.

    80 percent of Republicans and 48 percent of independents want the federal intervention, while 53 percent of Democrats are opposed.

    51 percent of all voters agree that government policies and practices encourage violent crime in some cities and states more than others. Just 24 percent disagree, while another 24 percent are undecided.

    66 percent of Americans oppose reducing the police budget in the community where they live. 61 percent believe violent crime will go up in communities that defund the police.



    This seems to me to be more evidence that the media needs to get out of its coastal bubbles. If you listen to the MSM, you would think the idea of Trump moving federal law enforcement into troubled cities is extremely unpopular. Turns out, that isn’t the case. Consider this, In January 2017 when Trump first proposed sending federal law enforcement to Chicago help stem its rising murder rate, just 36 percent of voters felt that was a federal responsibility.
