Forty-two percent of Americans questioned in a new Gallup survey approve of President Trump’s job as commander in chief, a slight improvement over a 38 percent reading during the month of June.

At the same time, an overwhelming percentage of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of race relations and the novel coronavirus, two issues at the center of the political debate less than three months until the November presidential election.

Only 37 percent approve of Trump’s handling of race relations, while 62 percent disapprove, and 36 percent approve of his response to the coronavirus, while 63 percent disapprove.​

Approval of Trump’s response to the coronavirus has fallen steadily since March, when it was at a height of 60 percent as states started to shut down businesses in order to stop the spread of the virus. Coronavirus-related deaths topped 170,000 in the U.S. as of Monday.

Trump’s overall approval rating is higher than it was during the month of June, during which two surveys showed the figure below 40 percent. The latest survey was taken after Trump resumed semi-regular press briefings focused on the coronavirus, something that aides signaled could help him in the polls against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

According to the latest survey, more independents — 39 percent — now approve of Trump than in late June and early July, when 33 percent and 34 percent of independents, respectively, said they approved of the job he is doing as commander in chief.

Trump 'failure' on COVID-19 will be central message of Biden..​

Biden up by 12 points among registered voters nationally: poll​

Americans also remain extremely divided in their opinions of the president along ideological lines, with 90 percent of Republicans registering approval of Trump and only 5 percent of Democrats doing so.

The new poll showed that minority approved of Trump’s handling of all of the specific issues that Gallup surveyed. Forty-eight percent say they approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, which has been ravaged by the coronavirus, while 51 percent disapprove. Trump’s rating on the economy — a central focus of the president’s reelection campaign — has declined from 63 percent since January, before the coronavirus-induced recession.

The results come from a Gallup survey conducted from July 30 to Aug. 12 of 1,031 U.S. adults with a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
 
Who are these people?

In 2016, I understood voting for anyone but Hillary. This year, I understand thinking Biden is a bad candidate and not wanting to vote for him.

But to look at how Trump has led this country and say "I approve?" That's incomprehensible to me. I'll never get it, ever. Ever, ever, ever.

If Trump gave nuclear codes to Putin and declared the US was now under Russian rule the same people would approve.

A Gallup poll shows that in July 2012 roughly the same point where trump is currently, Odumbo's approval rating was 46%. That's hardly a world shattering difference.

I think if you look at the 'strongly approve' vs the 'strongly disapprove' there is a huge gap.

They are blinded by cult propaganda, trained to look the other way at all the very disturbing news on him and the many scandals.

Oh, that reminds me of a joke.

OK, so the news is Trump is going to open a new chain of beachfront resorts, right?

It will be called: 'Scandals'

I am fine with Biden and hope he wins.
But one problem with the DNC is that they are afraid of the liberal base and appease the oligarchs.

Which is why we the people must grass-roots force the American Anti-Corruption Act down the throats of Congress by beginning locally. First we pass it in every town and county possible, then move up to the big cities and then State level. Once that is done, States begin sending Anti-Corruption candidates to Congress. Once a majority is gained there, it gets passed at the federal level. The result - no more corruption.

American Anti-Corruption Act:

1 Stop political bribery

Make it illegal for politicians to take money from lobbyists.
Politicians get extraordinary sums of money in the form of campaign donations from the special interests who lobby them. In return, politicians create laws favorable to these special interests – even when those laws hurt voters.

Under the American Anti-Corruption Act, people who get paid to lobby cannot donate to politicians.

Ban lobbyist bundling.
Lobbyists regularly bundle together big contributions from their friends and colleagues and deliver them in one lump sum to politicians. This turns lobbyists into major fundraisers, giving politicians an incentive to keep them happy by working political favors.

The Act prohibits lobbyists from bundling contributions.

Close the revolving door.
Lobbyists and special interests routinely offer public officials high-paying lobbying jobs. Politicians and their staff routinely move straight from government to these lucrative lobbying jobs, where they get paid to influence their former colleagues.

The Act stops elected representatives and senior staff from selling off their government power for high-paying lobbying jobs, prohibits them from negotiating jobs while in office, and bars them from paid lobbying activity for several years once they leave.

Prevent politicians from fundraising during working hours.
Most federal politicians spend between 3 and 7 hours a day fundraising from big donors instead of working on issues that matter to voters.

Under the Act, politicians are prevented from raising money during the workday, when they should be serving their constituents.

2 End Secret Money

Immediately disclose political money online.
Current disclosure laws are outdated and broken. Many donations are not disclosed for months, and some are never made available electronically, making it difficult for citizens and journalists to follow the money in our political system.

The Anti-Corruption Act ensures that all significant political fundraising and spending is immediately disclosed online and made easily accessible to the public.

Stop donors from hiding behind secret-money groups.
Elections are being flooded with big money funneled through groups with secret donors. These secretive groups spend money directly to influence elections and make unlimited contributions to super PACs, which run ads to elect and defeat candidates.

Under the Act, any organization that spends meaningful funds on political advertisements is required to file a timely online report disclosing its major donors.

3 Fix Our Broken Elections

End gerrymandering.
Politicians are intentionally drawing the lines around voters in order to guarantee their own re-election and give their political party an unfair advantage.

The Anti-Corruption Act ends gerrymandering by creating independent, fully transparent redistricting commissions that follow strict guidelines to ensure accurate representation for all voters, regardless of political party.

Let all voters participate in open primaries.
By controlling the primaries, the political establishment controls which candidates we can vote on.

The Act makes all candidates for the same office compete in a single, open primary controlled by voters, not the political establishment. This gives voters more control over our elections and more choices at the ballot.

Let voters rank their top candidates, avoid “spoilers.”
Outdated voting systems force voters to choose between the “lesser of two evils” at the ballot box or vote for a “spoiler” candidate.

Under the Act, voters can rank their top candidates, allowing them to support their top choice without fear of inadvertently helping elect the other party’s candidate. If their top choice isn’t going to win, their vote transfers to their second choice, and so on. This makes it easier to elect independent-minded candidates who aren’t beholden to establishment special interests.

Automatic voter registration.
Our voter rolls and registration systems are outdated, error-prone, and costly. New and proven systems can save taxpayer money and ensure that all eligible voters are able to participate on Election Day.

The Act automatically registers all interested eligible voters when they interact with government agencies – whether it’s when they go to the DMV, get a hunting license, apply for food assistance, or sign up for the national guard. Voters can always opt-out from being registered. Information is transmitted electronically and securely to a central source maintained by the state.

Vote at home or at the polls.
Election Day is a mess. Forcing voters to take time off from work and their families to stand in long lines on a Tuesday is ineffective, insecure, and outdated.

The Act improves voter service by sending ballots to voters at home and allowing them to mail it back on their own timeframe, or drop it off at a professionally-staffed voting center. Voters can still vote in person or receive assistance at a voting center.

Reasonable term limits.
When elected officials are allowed to become career politicians, our elections become uncompetitive and new ideas have a harder time being heard.

The Act sets reasonable term limits of 18 years total at each level of government, so that candidates focus on public service instead of staying in office.

Change how elections are funded.
Running a political campaign is expensive, but few Americans can afford to donate to political campaigns. That makes politicians dependent upon – and therefore responsive to – a tiny fraction of special-interest donors.

The Act offers every voter a small credit they can use to make a political donation with no out-of-pocket expense. Candidates and political groups are only eligible to receive these credits if they agree to fundraise solely from small donors. The Act also empowers political action committees that only take donations from small donors, giving everyday people a stronger voice in our elections.

4 Enforce the Rules

Crack down on super PACs.
As a result of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling, the Supreme Court ruled that super PACs can spend unlimited money influencing elections, so long as they do not coordinate directly with candidate campaigns. Since then, there has been tremendous coordination between campaigns and their super PACs, making a mockery of the “independence” the Supreme Court said must exist.

The American Anti-Corruption Act enforces the Supreme Court’s mandate by fixing the rules aimed at preventing and punishing super PAC coordination.

Eliminate lobbyist loopholes.
The definition of “lobbyist” is weak and outdated. As a result, lobbyists regularly avoid disclosure, and former politicians and their staff can receive big money to influence politicians without formally registering as lobbyists.

The Act prevents lobbyists from skirting the rules by strengthening the definition of lobbying and penalizing lobbyists who fail to register.

Strengthen anti-corruption enforcement.
Agencies routinely fail to enforce the anti-corruption rules that already exist due to partisan deadlock – and when they are able to act, they often lack the enforcement tools necessary to uphold the law. The result is an elections system where even lax rules can be skirted or broken with impunity.

The Act strengthens enforcement of anti-corruption laws by overhauling the broken Federal Election Commission and giving prosecutors the tools they need to combat corruption."

Do Dems really believe they will vote for Plugs, who failed 3rd grade and came in 76 out of 80 in law school while making mostly C's & D's?
Really, the left? The ones who have a love affair with "elite college educated" snobs?:laugh:
 
RCP average has Trump at 42.5, Biden at 50.2, Trump’s favorability rating at 43.1, so it is all pretty consistent, but as I’ve said, two and half months out, meaningless, the best projection is the betting odds, Trump down to +125, it was +140 two weeks ago, which shows the gap is shrinking

Dems and a whole lot of other Americans, Biden is viewed as a regular guy, blue collar, and besides, you know full well Trump has kept his academic records top secret, it is inane for you to even go there

Generalize much?

Yeah - Dems & liberals will definitely vote for Biden. And enthusiasm will be high this election.

The outcome will come down more to independents, and disaffected Republicans. None of those will be particularly enthusiastic about voting for Biden - but will their dismay w/ Trump be enough to sway their votes?

Here's hoping.
