If one was to average all the Trump popularity polls the number would be 42%. They run from 37 to 45% and the latest is 50%. So assume the lowest an the highest numbers as outliers then the average of 42% is probably accurate. This is about the popularity of Obama at the same time in his term. As polls are notoriously wrong, this is still interesting

However, FiveThirtyEight blog’s composite of approval rating polls shows Obama was well ahead of Trump after almost a year in the White House. Obama had an average approval rating of 49.6 percent through 343 days while Trump came in at 37.7 percent.
And the difference between Trump and Obama’s net approval – the difference between approval and disapproval ratings – was a whopping 24.5 percentage points.

The gold standard for pol aggregation and statistical modeling is Five Thirty Eight. This is what they say as of today:

A few points puts you among the best or the worst!
Conservatives have a NEED for Tramp to be better than he is. He’ll NEVER be better because he is a ROOKIE and stupid.
Face it, Obama is more popular RIGHT NOW than PUTOS, if PUTOS where King for the next 10 years because Obama is just a flat out better human being than your mongering orange primate!!!

All true, except for the last part. Not fair giving a bad name to primates like that. Trump can only aspire to rise to the level of primate.

The first off the rail comment. As long as the MSM continues to attack his every move and as long as you and yours continue to be duped by what the MSN is feeding you the polls are likely to stay much the same. Trump has 7 more years to perform so we shall see.

1, BreitS**T
2, 700 club
3, Facebook

I watch MSNBC almost exclusively; it’s where I see Steve Schmidt, George Will and Nicole Wallace, as well as Republican Congress people, and republican stratigests.

Sometimes I see some liberals, too.

This is the same polling outfit who, the day before the e******n, had Trump at a 3 in 10 chance to win. Real gold standard there.

He's sitting in a fine suit behind the big desk in the White House running your country, and you're
sitting in your underwear, in your living environment, complaining about him as your keeper. That reality begs the glaring question; "which of you is the primate?"
