On the rise: New poll indicates Trump's approval ratings are edging up

Note: This poll was taken before President Trump’s wildly successful Middle East trip.

A new national poll released this week is one of the first to indicate a bump up in President Donald Trump's approval ratings after a steady edging down in the president's numbers since he returned to office in January.

Trump stands at 44% approval and 52% disapproval in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted Monday and Tuesday (May 12-13). The president's approval rating edged up two points — which is within the survey's sampling error — from the previous Reuters/Ipsos national survey, which was in the field late last month.

Especially. as you point out, when the change is within the margin of error.
Also, most of the other polls are negative as well according to the RealClearPolitics average.

You make a good point there. On the other hand, it’s a positive trend showing up in his worst poll (using a spread metric) or second worst poll (using approval number metric).

One small improvement within the MOE is hardly a trend.

He is the LOWEST rated president in the history of polling this far into his presidency. Stop being a hack.

I post one of Trump’s lowest polls. Would a hack do that? No.
I point out of that low poll has him edging upwards. You object. What a hack.

Remember when I had to bust you on ALL those? This is just more of the same. It's pathetic you would try and make something of a minute bump when again, he is still the LOWEST ranked president in polling history.

Is Reuters “bogus”? Are they “hacks”?

Trump's approval rating rises to 44%; Americans worry less about recession

Replying back to my same post twice is bad enough but showing a poll at a lousy 44% less than 4 months into his presidency is hackery at its finest.

So it was hackish for Reuters to cover the Ipsos poll with a stand alone story?  And it’s “desperate” for me to post one of Trump’s most negative polls?! The reality is that you know the upward tick in this poll is a harbinger of things to come, and that pisses you off to no end.

I called you one.

"A harbinger of things to come." Exactly what a hack would say! hahahahahaha!

So it’s legitimate for Rueters to cover the Ipsos poll, indicating they thought it was newsworthy, but hackish for anyone to repost that story on a political forum? Very shifty logic. I guess we shouldn’t expect less from an Islamophobe.

It's hackish to frantically mis-characterize its significance.

Nicky is right about that. The only problem is that it’s Robert, with his shifty logic, who is mis-characterizing the significance of this poll.

No evidence that I am an Islamophobe, huh CKS? Not surprised to see you run away from that thread too. Lmk when you are man enough to back up your silly, absurd remarks. In the meantime, keep being Willys bitch as you have that one down cold. LOL

What thread are you talking about? The one where Willy asked if racism was immoral and I answered yes, it was immoral? And then you accused me of being racist for answering the question? That thread?

If it’s another thread, link it because I have no idea what you’re talking about.  Better yet, don’t link, because your accusation of racism is so utterly ridiculous that I’m not inclined to give it a serious answer.  

Let’s put it this way. You’re an Islamophobic piece of shit and I don’t owe you anything.

And yet you have ZERO examples of me being one! I see I have really gotten under your skin and you are coming unglued!  Of course you don't want a link asking for proof as you have NONE!

You are SO pathetic and now exposed to all! Nighty night, my little ageist, racist! LOL!
