Never. But he's not at 47/43 now. By the ABC News Washington Post poll I cited he is at 53% disapprove and 43% approve and in the overall RCP average he is at 52.7% disapprove and 43.5% approve. Six months ago today he was at 54.1% disapprove and 42.5% approve.CID1990 wrote:
When has Trump not been under water in approval ratings:
I think he's something like 47/43 now, but 6 months ago he was around 53-54 disapprove
He won the electoral college running against a candidate that was under FBI investigation much of the way then had the FBI drop a bomb on her near the end. He is not a strong candidate. I said it before but it bears repeating: If Obama could have run for a third term Obama would have destroyed him.
Now, Obama was a very good candidate. So it's not likely the Democrats can come up with somebody like that. I can only recall three really good Presidential candidates in my adult lifetime: Reagan, Clinton, and Obama. But if they can come up with at least a DECENT one they should be able to beat Trump.
As far as the mid terms go: I think there is high confidence that more people will vote Democrat in both the House elections and the Senate elections. But I think the Republicans will probably win the Senate and whether the Democrats win the House or not is a toss up due to the gerrymandering.
So I think we are at substantial risk of having a situation where more people voted for the Democrat in the most recent Presidential election, more people voted for Democrats in the most recent House election, and more people voted for Democrats in the most recent Senate election yet Republicans will control all three.
