As we recently reported, President Trump’s first end of the year approval rating is almost exactly the same as Obama’s in 2009. On Thursday, Dec. 28th, 46% of likely US voters approved of President Trump’s job performance, while 53% disapproved. On Dec. 28, 2009, Obama had a 47% approval rating with 52% disapproving. His approval dropped to 46% on the 29th. President Trump’s numbers didn’t change much today. He’s looking at a 45% approval rating with 53% disapproving.
It’s virtually the same as Obama’s first year numbers. That’s the point here.
I thought the results were really interesting, especially when you consider that 1.) Polls are all over the place and generally lean in favor of liberals and 2.) MSM skewers Trump on a daily basis.
That brings me to Donald Trump Jr. He made an excellent point. Imagine what Trump’s approval rating would’ve been if MSM actually treated him FAIRLY and DIDN’T disseminate #FakeNews regularly.
Imagine what it would be if the MSM praised anything he did like they did for everything his predecessor did? So @realDonaldTrump has he same favorability as Obama with nothing but negative hit pieces from the media. I call that #winnning #maga https://t.co/kaL1yrJc8K

The fact that his numbers are the same as Obama’s (and Obama had the ENTIRE media on his side) speaks volumes.
It’s a win indeed, Don.
