From Newsweek: QUOTE:

President Donald Trump celebrated a poll that showed an upswing in his job approval rating by bashing his predecessor as "Cheatin' Obama" on Twitter on Tuesday.

"Thank you to Rasmussen for the honest polling. Just hit 50%, which is higher than Cheatin' Obama at the same time in his Administration," Trump tweeted.

Trump frequently cites Rasmussen, a right-leaning polling firm that consistently ranks Trump's approval higher than other polling firms.

Based on Rasmussen's historical numbers, Trump now sits ahead of Obama, who was at 46% at this point in his presidency. Monday marked the first time Trump's approval rating his risen above Obama's when controlled for time.

Otherwise Trump has had historically bad job approval, but enjoyed solid support relative to his opponents. Both the news media and Congress hold lower job approval than Trump, and consistently have.

Trump cites Rasmussen, a right-wing polling organization that rated Obama so low that it predicted Romney would beat Obama by a landslide.

So there is that. Currently, Rasmussen is the only poll that has Trump under water by less than double digits.

I guess you take what comfort you can from that kind of thing. I suppose that CC thinks Obama's decisive win was tainted because Obama actually got a majority of the votes.

In fact, Rasmussen is the only major poll that has Trump better than double digits under water. Rasmussen also predicted that Romney would beat Obama in a landslide, to give you some sense of how accurate they are.
