Steady and Good, by

One of the most common
items of "disinformation" in the media these days is the assertion
that Donald Trump's presidency is drawing negative reviews from the American
voter.
The Guardian, for
example, reports that Trump's approval ratings "fall off a cliff" and
goes on to wonder why he "sees no reason to course-correct."
But, the fact is that
Trump's poll numbers are steady, fluctuating in a narrow range, and are higher
than Obama's were during most of his tenure.
Rasmussen, the only
pollster who surveys "likely voters" shows the marks of a successful
presidency:
Rasmussen: Trump's Job
Approval
JULY 2
= 44%
JUNE 13 = 45%
JUNE 4 =
45%
MAY 30 =
43%
MAY 23 =
48%
MAY 14 =
44%
MAY 7 =
47%

Politics.
All the other polls
survey "adults" or "registered voters", thereby including
vast numbers of non-citizens, non-voters, and unregistered adults. Most of these folks lean Democrat and distort
the other polls to show a higher disapproval.
Likely this bias is deliberate.
More disinformation.
But it is remarkable
that, amid the totally negative coverage with which the media pounds President
Trump daily, that he has been able to keep his ratings right around his vote
share: In the mid-to-high 40s.
