Poll After Trump's State of Union Speech

Trump did a fantastic job. He stayed on script, read the teleprompter, resisted the urge to make the a-hole hand gesture (https://www.buzzfeed.com/gabrielakr...erstood-abroad?utm_term=.drA9lRP4p#.bg45O4gZ0) And as far a we could see didn't grab anyone by the kitty cat.
The test was when the Dems were booing and hissing, He stayed on target and didn't come down from the podium and start attacking people;

Baloney! You say polls should not be touted, then use polls to state Trump has a lowest rating. Contradictory garbage.
You like your own leftist media polls, while all other polls you distrust. Can one be more biased?
Poll After Trump's State of Union Speech
Trump spent much of his State of Union Speech taking all the credit for the recent increases in the stock market - given that 3 days later it dropped by almost 700 points (2.55%), are we to believe that this was the direct result of his economic policies?

No, that was Obama's fault, just as the continuing growth of the economy in the last 8 years was Trump's doing. WFTH-I

The latest ratings came following Trump’s first State of the Union speech in which he touted the economy’s performance during his first year and addressed his goals for immigration reform.
The polling took place prior to a sharp drop in the Dow Jones industrial average on Friday and Monday.
Trump still gets largely negative marks for his handling of key issues, the Quinnipiac poll found. Only 37 percent of American voters approve of his handling of foreign policy, and 32 percent approve of his handling of classified immigration.
Trump got his highest marks on his handling of the economy. Fifty-one percent approve of his handling of the issue and 43 percent disapprove.
Trump’s approval ratings have improved in other recent polls as well, though his overall ratings remain well below 50 percent.

"Yahbut...Yahbut..." Meantime, Mueller continues to close in. Trump says he's willing to be questioned by Mueller about his role in the meetings with Russian agents, but his lawyers quickly overrule him.
For good reason. Better to be though a crook than to open his mouth under oath and remove all doubt.
Polls show that most Americans approve of the FBI and believe Trump is obstructing justice
New polls have indicated that Americans generally disagree with President Donald Trump on a host of issues related to the FBI, immigration, and the Russia investigation.
Most continued to hold favorable views towards the FBI and intelligence agencies, despite the president's recent attacks on them.
53% of voters believe that Trump attempted to obstruct justice in the Russia investigation.
New polls show that despite President Donald Trump's rhetoric on a host of issues including the Russia investigation, the FBI, and immigration, the majority of voters disagree with him — and continue to hold the FBI and special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe in relatively high regard, according to polls from Quinnipiac University and Axios.
When asked whether Trump had tried to "derail or obstruct" the Russia investigation, 53% of voters said that he had, while 41% said that he did not. Half of voters believed the Mueller probe was "legitimate" and 41% did not, however 56% told Quinnipiac that it was fair. Only 28% agreed with Trump that it wasn't.
In terms of approval of the FBI, 49% of Americans held a favorable view of the agency, according to Axios, and 48% told Quinnipiac that the agency was handling its job well. The FBI's approval rating had jumped two percentage points since January 2017, according to the poll.
But when broken down by party, support for the FBI fluctuated wildly. While 64% of Democrats approved of the bureau, only 38% of Republicans agreed with them. Since January 2017, though, approval of the FBI has shrunk overall, Axios reported.
55% of voters did agree that Trump was biased against the FBI, however, and 55% also said they did not trust the president to "do what is right."
Trump has also made a habit of attacking the US court system, especially when district courts have struck down his various travel bans. But nevertheless, 67% of voters approve of the courts, and 61% approve of the job intelligence agencies like the CIA are doing.
On immigration, 59% do not approve of Trump's calls to build a wall along the country's southern border, and 72% did not agree that undocumented citizens committed more crime than US citizens.

Notice that "The Donald" and the "deplorables" only make reference to the polls, and the stock market, when they go "UP" - when they go "DOWN," they either ignore them completely or dismiss them as "FAKE NEWS!"
Also take notice that even when this President's public approval rating do go up, his supporters are loathe to announce the actual number - soaring to the high 30's still makes "The Donald" the most unpopular President, after his first year in office, in the history of polling!
Donald Trump says stock market is making a 'big mistake' after drop
President reminisces about the good ‘old days’ after Dow Jones industrial average lost 1,175 points on Monday
While his corporate tax cuts and push for deregulation have pushed share prices higher, US markets have been on a record-breaking streak for nine years and have risen in large part thanks to economic strength around the world and unprecedentedly low interest rates. That period of low rates now appears to be coming to an end as central banks worry about inflation. Those fears are leading to greater volatility in the stock market.

What Is Better For The Stock Market – Republican Or Democrat?
One of the biggest questions facing voters before each presidential election is which candidate will do better for the U.S. economy over the course of their term. While an "improving" economy means different things to different people, a simple gauge for the U.S. economy is the stock market. Increasing stock prices are normally an indication of improving fundamentals and can have many positive implications for the economy such as a lower unemployment rate, increased capital investment by U.S. corporations, and increased private wealth in the form of larger retirement accounts and 401k's. For the purposes of this post, we are going to use the S&P 500 to measure stock market performance.
Before the 2008 election, the New York Times published this great visualization that showed the stock market returns under each president since 1929:

This is the new Trump Troll thread I guess.
Better to "shoot the messenger," or divert attention away from the issues, rather than discuss them on their own merits - something "the deplorables" are either unable and/or unwilling to do!
:thumb: Stick with the "deplorables" label, it worked so well for Hillary.
