A prominent Democrat who has been in leadership circles for years said not long ago that his party should just sit back and watch because the support for President Donald Trump, who won landslides in the Electoral College and popular vote in November, soon would collapse.
It hasn’t happened. At least not yet.
A report from the Washington Examiner reveals Trump’s approval rating tracked by Rasmussen Reports was at 52% on Friday, the same as Thursday.
That’s actually the president’s highest approval since Democrat analyst James Carville forecast that support for the president would “crater” this month, the report said.
Carville, Feb. 21, claimed, “I believe that this administration, in less than 30 days, is in the midst of a massive collapse, and particularly a collapse in public opinion.”
His party, he urged, should “play possum” and then enjoy the “easy pickings here in six weeks.”
Mark Mitchell, at Rasmussen, said so far there’s no evidence of that trend.
And the polling shows that plunge may never come.
Trump has been battling leftovers from Joe Biden’s administration since he took office: inflation, an open southern border, terrorism, radical body mutilation agendas, and much more.
Of course as transitions are made, there are impacts on costs, taxes, inflation and more.
The report noted Trump has been urging Americans to wait through what he suggests is temporary “because he and his team believe it will lead to an economic and stock market boom later this year,” the report said.
Mitchell cited Trump’s “strong approval” rating from the GOP at 68%, which is “astronomical.”
“The takeaway is GOP strong approval is near record highs, and he’s maintaining it way better than the first time around. Republicans like what they see.”
Actually, Carville has gone way, way further in his claims about Trump. Some are suggesting too far.
First James Carville said Kamala was going to win…
Then James Carville said the Trump admin would crumble is 30 days…
Now he says Trump might have Syphilis…
James Carville has completely lost his mind.
