Trump Popularity on Rise

RUSH: From the Morning Consult… It’s a polling outfit. Remember, I don’t care about any of this, but they do.

…

And all these people in the Drive-Bys, the Washington establishment, think tanks, K Street, polling is their daily nourishment. So given that they’re looking at this and it’s affecting them, then I share it with you, I tell you about it. It’s not because I think it means anything yet. Of course, we’re like everybody else. Polls that are good, “Oh, yeah, baby! We’ll take ’em.” Polls that are bad, “They don’t mean anything right now.” And both are true.

But the Morning Consult: “Trump Makes Gains Ahead of Midterms, But” they couldn’t leave it there. “But Risks Remain for GOP — Political experts say rise in net approval ratings among voters reflects in part a solid U.S. economy. In January, 44% of voters approved of Trump’s job performance; 51% disapproved. January rating represents 2% rise from September, 4% increase from November. After losing voter support in every state during his first nine months in office, President Donald Trump is beginning the second year of his term with his popularity on the upswing,” according to Morning Consult.”

The numbers don’t really matter. That trend line is what matters to all these people, and it’s gonna be a factor in the Mueller investigation. It’s gonna be a factor in, well, this whole year. Democrats, if they continue to lose ground in the so-called generic ballot poll… Remember just a month or two ago they thought a slam dunk. Winning the House in ’18 a slam dunk. Now they’re becoming less sure of this, and it changes the way they behave.

Sherrod Brown — major, major Democrat, huge leftist Democrat — this afternoon in Washington, bipartisan meeting with congressional members and cabinet members.

Now, you may want to rely on polls but here you’ve got… Is it “Sher-RID” or “Sher-ROD”? He’s a big liberal Democrat in Ohio heaping praise on Trump for Trump’s economic policies and plans. That is… You probably will not see this sound bite on CNN. Let’s see where this come from. (muttering) Well, I don’t know what the source of this is. Maybe it was actually the meeting itself. I don’t know what network. But I guarantee the Drive-Bys are not gonna. This confirms every poll out there that Trump is gaining in popularity.

RUSH: The earth may be moving. A little bit more time needed to detect it, but it could well be happening.
