Trump's approval rating jumped several points in two tracking polls, Politico/Morning Consult and Rasmussen. I know a lot of people don't consider Rasmussen a reliable pollster, but I still look at it for the trends. They are one of the few if not the only daily tracker now that Gallup stopped doing daily tracking.
Politico/Morning Consult 2/21 - 2/23 45% approve 52% disapprove
Politico/Morning Consult 2/23 - 2/23 42% approve 54% disapprove
Rasmussen Reports 2/19 - 2/23 49% approve 50% disapprove
Rasmussen Reports 2/20 - 2/24 52% approve 47% disapprove
Actually, after looking closer, it looks like Politico/MC did 2 different polls, one only on 2/23 and one from 2/21-2/23. The one only on 2/23 had a lower approval rating, but it was released first so it looked like his approval rating had jumped. Anyone know what the deal is with this poll? Both the one-day and three-day one were conducted online using similar sample sizes, and both with registered voters. Why do they have a one-day and a three-day covering the same period?

(15,476 posts)If Ras is running +5, that means he's 47% approval. Still crazy high.
0rganism
(23,970 posts)he's been pulling around 42-45% for the last couple years, which is still at least 40% too high imho
i'd bet a 47% result is within 2 standard deviations of average.
