Trump approval on the upswing

[Anonymous]

Trump is just 1.6 points underwater with approval up to 47.7 percent (real clear politics average of polls). Thats a huge shift from April 28 when his disapproval rate hit 52.4.

An Axios focus group of Wisconsin voters who swung from Biden to Trump show his voters sticking with him. Not a single of the 12 says they would pick Kamala looking back.

Look at the substance, though:

"Why it matters: The speed and scale of Trump's tariffs aren't sitting well even with some who agree with the idea of tariffs. Some said they don't like Trump's treatment of neighboring ally Canada, his incivility and bullying, or his ambiguity about whether he'll abide by court rulings.

But that's mostly outweighed by their faith that Trump's moves will eventually boost jobs, pay and fairness for American workers — even if it means paying more now.
They also blame Biden and other politicians more than Trump for the current situation."

What happens when jobs and pay aren't boosted? There is NOTHING in Trump's incoherent economic strategy which will do so. These voters are still expecting this to pay off. It won't...and years later, they'll be talking about Trump's failure, not Biden's failure.

Yes, we do expect the economy to pay off and so far it has. Biden inflation is slowing, grocery prices down, jobs up, wages up.

LOL, what??What inflation is slowing? And grocery prices down? Anyone who shops for their family knows that is a big lie.

So, OP, his disapproval is now 52.3? That's the big swing?

Contributing to the slide over the past couple of months in Trump's overall approval ratings was his performance on the economy and, in particular, inflation, which were pressing issues that kept former President Joe Biden’s approval ratings well below water for most of his presidency.

Trump's blockbuster tariff announcement in early April sparked a trade war with some of the nation's top trading partners, triggered a massive sell-off in the financial markets and increased concerns about a recession.

But the markets have rebounded, thanks in part to a truce between the U.S. and China in their tariff standoff as Trump tapped the brakes on his controversial tariff implementation.

Trump stood at 37% approval on tariffs and 34% on inflation/cost of living in the Marquette Law School poll. And he stood at 39% on the economy and 33% on cost of living in the Reuters/Ipsos poll, conducted May 16-18.

Grocery prices are not down where I shop. I typically shop at wegmans, but I might have to downgrade to find those discounts you mention PP. Where do you grocery shop and the prices have declined?

It has? How so? What metrics are you looking at to make such a blatantly false claim?

Real Clear which was quoted uses an aggregate of high value polls. It incorporates this data into the findings of other similar quality polls.

Real Clear does not, in fact, use high value polls and it is known for using garbage polls such as Rasmussen.
