Obviously, Obama won his second term, despite polling lower than where Trump is today according to Rasmussen.

‘50%’ Of Voters Support Trump
“The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance,” Rasmussen reports. “Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove.”
“The latest figures include 35% who Strongly Approve of the job Trump is doing and 41% who Strongly Disapprove,” Rasmussen also notes. “This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -6.”
Rasmussen has found Trump’s overall approval above and below 50 percent since the beginning of the year, between a low of 43 percent mid-January, but rising to 52 percent in February.

Fluctuating Numbers Stabilizing
Since early June, Trump’s fluctuating numbers stabilized somewhat, going between a low of 45 percent and a high of 51 percent. Unfortunately for the president, his approval index has been consistently bad, often below the margin of error.
When Rasmussen tracked President Obama’s approval rating at the same juncture in his presidency in September 2011, his results were below where Trump is today. Obama garnered 46 percent approval and 53 percent disapproval, about 4 points lower than Trump now.
The president certainly let everyone know about the Rasmussen poll.

How Does Trump Fare Against Top Democrats?
As for how Trump might fare against those leading the Democratic field, multiple polls have showed his most formidable potential opponent to be former Vice President Joe Biden, who some polls show leading Trump by double digits. Trump does somewhat better against Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
A Investor’s Business Daily poll showed Warren closing the gap on Biden, but also that Trump was more competitive with Warren than Biden.
“In a head-to-head 2020 election contest of Biden vs. Trump, the IBD/TIPP Poll found a 54%-42% advantage for Biden,” Investor’s Business Daily reports. “A month earlier, Biden led Trump by 13 points. Sanders had a narrow 49%-45% edge over Trump, while Warren and Harris had slimmer 49%-46% leads. Independents preferred Biden vs. Trump, 55%-37%. Warren edges Trump with independents, 47%-45%, while Sanders has a 51%-42% advantage.”
Critics will no doubt continue to play down Donald Trump’s re-election chances, but a major poll showing he has a better shot than Barack Obama – who won – did, is a good sign for the president.

Those that support Biden or any Democrat would probably support Bernie Madoff.
I believe it is higher than that.The majority see how these Democrats act and see what little they do.Terroists in Congress, not doing their jobs.
The pro Islamist socialists Sanders types, will no doubt only see this as a bump in the road as they continue their push to undo Constitutional Government “legally” using the tired old arguments of the “Lost Cause” to appeal to racists because the DNC always was is and for the foreseeable future is the party of “race” and bigotry. The same way they have attempted to disguise their former white crusade by claiming they had nothing to do with slavery when they were the party that voted against emancipation, for Jim Crow and black codes, opposed Civil Rights and allowed the KKK a prominent part in their party, they lie and suggest that simply because they rid themselves of white supremacists they must have become Republicans? There is no proof of it. And while Linda Sarsour a spokeswoman for the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical islamiist causes endorses Bernie Sanders, who has claimed most recently Jesus was a Marxist, it is obvious the DNC has simply replaced one form of racist bigotry with others.
Yes Trump has done a much better job and the left hates it and vows revenge.
FYI
Quinnipiac University has Trump at 38% approval rating
I never did approve of Obama! (And it did not have anything to do with his race,)
Jeez you’re dumb, GoldB.O. Why don’t you go back to school but try a conservative college this time. Maybe you will learn something!
Quinnipiac University poll
Trump approval rating 38%
Let’s see now, Leftist poll, taken by the anti-Trump organization, Printed by leftist news sources, Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Think its faked information? Considering past “accuracy” on polls, i’d have to say that Trumps numbers are significantly higher.
AMERICA!
THESE ARE THE SAME POLLSTERS WHO PREDICTED A LAND SLIDE VICTORY
FOR SLICK WILLIE’S WENCH!
IT TURNED OUT TO BE A MUDSLIDE FOR CROOKED HILLARY!
I would love to see Pocahontas, Crazy Old Joe or the NEW Millionaire, Bernie
who contributes $10,000. to charity and pays his people less than $15.00
he advocates!
IT WILL BE A SHOW!!!!!
Uh….excuse me? But WHO is in the White House right now?
hillary won 2016 electcian 85% to Trumps 15%….
I get DNC polls all the time and I do my level best to make sure they get what they want to hear. Every little bit helps them convince themselves they are on the right track.
How can we Americans believe anything nowadays with polls or anything else for that matter, I told my family how do you know what to believe, the media lies through their teeth constantly. Hopefully some of these lawsuits I’m reading about can help slow It down some.
I will be the 1st to say Trump can be nay is an asshole, but I would rather him be our POTSU than any of the 25 or more demorats…
My grand pop used to say back in the 1950-1960’s before he died, the only good judge/politician was a dead one…why we would ask….in his broken english, that way they canna noa steala from you no more….
I American did it right remove every demorat in every state house, governorship, in DC, damn good start
In the back of Monica Lewinsky’s throat
CORN POP’S HOUSE!!!!!
Bidens mothers basement
Where are these polls conducted? Let me guess………left-leaning college campuses.
Where do you get your information from the White nationalist Daily wire? Lol
Wow. And you libs call ME delusional? Brainwashed, too! The GOP is NOT going to run Nickie Hailey in 2020. They MIGHT run her in 2024, but not before!
Mr Trump isn’t even going to run the GOP is going to run Nikki Halle get with the program
Is it any wonder the conniving Dems hoping to oust him from the White House– along with their media attack dogs–have become so transparently DESPERATE in their attacks against him?
Glad to see this trend is finally getting acknowledged. In actuality, since JUNE, 2019 Trump has out performed Obama consistently by 3 to 4 Percentage points in the Rasmussen Daily polls for the same days of the two Presidencies. That’s a big deal.
don’t know what you are talking about. President Trump is very much against illegals coming into the US Where have you been lately, Have you seen the wall President Trump wants to build? You have to be crazy if you think for a minute that illegals would vote for Trump. They are all Dummarats!!
Another delusional, brain-washed lib heard from! There certainly IS voter fraud, and plenty of it–and it is DEMOCRATS who are doing it!
The only Voter fraud that exists is the one in your head. But one fact remains American whites are going to become a minority
No, that was an OBAMA thing. There was MASSIVE voter fraud in the 2012 election–THAT is why Obama won it. You CANNOT convince me that the American people were actually STUPID enough to elect that nasty, power-mad little sociopath and banana republic dictator WANNABE to a second term without a LOT of help from voter fraud!
It was democrats who brought in illegals to vote.
Huh?
Is Trump going to bring in loads of illegals by bus loads like in 2012? I don’t think he has to but that is what happen in 2012 at the polls of many of us worked at.
Of course!
Here are the polls by accuracy:
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/
Rasmussen is the 4th-worst. Somehow it still gets a grade of C+. It’s not remotely ‘highly respected’, in any case. It was also the least accurate of all pollsters at calling the 2018 mid-terms, so its already low rating may be in decline.
