Recent polls, particularly from Rasmussen and Napolitan, suggest that Trump&#8217;s approval ratings are stronger than many establishment media polls indicate, even surpassing Obama&#8217;s ratings at a comparable point in his presidency. The article also notes that republicans currently have advantages over Democrats on key issues like the economy, immigration, and crime, and are gaining new voters at a faster rate. It argues that the establishment media&#8217;s negative polling on Trump does not align with other data, implying that despite the fierce opposition, Trump and the GOP remain popular among many Americans.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump has vanquished Democrats and their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wnba-star-calls-for-elon-musk-to-be-sent-back-to-africa\/\" title=\"WNBA Star Calls for Elon Musk to Be Sent &#039;Back to Africa&#039;\">establishment media minions<\/a> at every turn, and they hate him for it.<\/p>\n<p>Ten years into a political conflict unlike any in American history, that fact remains the key to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >understanding public affairs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It explains, for instance, why the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolling.com\/polls\/approval\/donald-trump\/approval-rating\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RealClearPolling<\/a> aggregate of mostly establishment media polls shows Trump with a net approval rating of minus 7.7 points, while the latest poll from Rasmussen &mdash; one of America&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/accurate-pollster-2020-releases-rare-poll-adds-insult-injury-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">few accurate pollsters<\/a> &mdash; has Trump with a higher approval rating than former President Barack Obama enjoyed at the same point in his first term, when the establishment media gave Obama relentlessly fawning coverage.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#128680; BREAKING: In a stunning development, President Trump is now exceeding the approval rating of Barack Hussein Obama in October 2009, per Rasmussen.<\/p>\n<p>You heard that correctly.
