President Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit 45% in a recent Gallup poll, three points higher than Barack Obama’s was at this time in his presidency.
High Approval from the American People
The poll, conducted by Gallup from December 2nd to December 15th, shows an increase of six points in President Trump’s approval ratings since the impeachment process began. 89% of Republicans support the President, as compared to 8% of Democrats. The overall 45% score makes this the fifth time that he has passed above that mark, with a high watermark of 46% from Gallup in May of this year.
When analyzing the data, Gallup highlighted that the impeachment process has mostly solidified pre-existing notions of President Trump with Republicans and Democrats, and that the independent voters are the ones who are making swings.
“Independents have become slightly more positive toward both the president and Congress, while they are slightly less in favor of impeachment,” the report stated. “Less than half of political independents approve, but the current 42% is up from 34% at the start of the impeachment hearings and matches their highest rating of Trump so far.”

Trump is Beating Obama
This means that President Trump is actually polling better than the public than Obama did at the same point of his presidency, despite everything that the liberal media is throwing at him. A Gallup poll from December 2011 shows that Obama only had 42% approval rating with Americans; Trump’s outperformance is therefore a vindication of the President. This was also the case in February of last year – President Trump had an approval rating four points higher than Obama did in February 2010.
Plummeting Support for Impeachment
Support for impeachment is also dropping. Only 46% of Americans want President Trump impeached and removed from office, down six percentage points, as compared to 51% of Americans who want the President to stay. It is no coincidence that the public is turning against impeachment when the process is actually taking place. For those who haven’t made up their mind on President Trump, impeachment may have seemed the logical conclusion for his apparent “misdemeanours,” but any American with a brain can tell the impeachment process is a complete sham.
There is no evidence, only people who swear that someone told them that somebody else heard that they read that the President had definitely committed crimes you guys! The American public can tell that impeachment is purely partisan, and is just being concocted by a bunch of sore losers who still haven’t gotten over 2016. Bring on 2020, so we can turn the House red again and drain the swamp of all these nasty swamp creatures!
