Justinian would you consider yourself to be clever?

That depends on the situation.

Single transferable vote is for intelligent autists. First-past the post is for babbling plebians.

Thanks for the breakdown Math Wolf.

I would be very interested to see his numbers AFTER the Russia investigation is completed by Muller (whatever the outcome). I think that will be key.

^Why? You think he might have the popular vote?

No. I just think it will be interesting to see how his supporters will react. Will they start to flee (if they find out he knew about the meetings and lied)? Or perhaps they won't find a trail to Trump on the story and it will embolden the GOP base to get behind him on his "witch hunt"

Sorry I mocked you, I did not notice you wrote whatever the outcome.

This thread is too American and therefore boring. Who cares abou aproval ratings of plebs if only Republicans in the Senate can remove the President?

He gets roasted by the butthurt corporate hate media every day. It's a notch in Trump's favor that his approval rating isn't even lower.

I give the thread itself 7.5/10. I give OP 2/10. Gj off topic forum, making papa proud.

The Trump "scandals" were dreamed up by the Democratic party and their propaganda wing to get moderate Republicans to abandon Donald Trump.

If we wish to fairly evaluate the assertion of the OP it is helpful compare like things.

Consider the polling data that has been published by the Gallop organization. On 20 April 2017 Business Insider published an article on what were then the most recent data from the Gallop organization. The substance of the article was the average job approval data for the first quarter of the first year of all Presidents of the post world war two period.

The results for average job approval over the first quarter were as follows, from highest to lowest:

John Kennedy 74%
Dwight Eisenhower 71%
Jimmy Carter 69%
Barack Obama 63%
Richard Nixon 62%
Ronald Reagan 60%
George W. Bush 58%
George H.W. Bush 57%
Bill Clinton 55%
Donald Trump 41%

In the posting of the Gallop data at their website further light is cast on the attitudes toward the current American President.

Trump won election using a campaign that flouted norms of political decorum and relied heavily on social media to spread his, at times, controversial messages. His unconventional style suggested his presidency would be like nothing seen before. And that has been true, but likely not in the way he or his supporters hoped -- with no honeymoon period to speak of and approval ratings far worse than any president has received this early in his tenure. On his best day, less than half of Americans, 46%, have approved of the job Trump is doing.

What it comes down to is this, President Trump is less popular than any President of the post war era, for the period of his first quarter.

I am not convinced that the President ever had or will receive enthusiastic support amongst moderate Republicans.

I feel like you didn't. Do it again, and do it properly. Try not twisting shit around and cherry picking.

A moderate comes in and posts nothing but pure statistics, and TAM accuses him of cherry picking.

The partisan tribalism is strong with this one.

lol so statistics can't be cherry picked huh? good one.

and he presented a lot more than 'pure statistics' -- 99% of what he shared was what he wants us to believe his cherry picked data shows. of course he completely ignored everything that shows i'm right. like the fucking graph that shows a clear negative trend.

Well lots of folks like to cherry pick data that they find congenial.

President Trump is one of these folks.

Dhrumil Mehta posted a brief discussion of the President's announcement of a recent Rasmussen poll showing a fifty percent approval.
