QuoteThe survey, which was conducted between May 29 and 30, notes that the good economy could be spurring the relatively high approval rating. Fifty-nine percent of respondents said they approve of Trump's handling of the economy, while a record 62 percent said they approve of his approach to employment.

A stunning 71 percent of voters viewed the economy as "strong" or "very strong."

"People's views on the economy are gradually pushing Trump's numbers up and his actions on other issues like China and immigration are neutral to positive," Mark Penn, the c0-director of the Harvard poll, said. (RELATED: April Jobs Report: 263,000 Jobs Added)

Now this is an interest point, considering most of us would assume it was all about the economy, but this statement reveals, there might be other reasons for his high approval numbers, like, maybe keeping campaign promises, exposing Marxists in govt, etc?

"consumer confidence in the economy is likely a contributing factor."   

And let us not forget Trump has historically under polled.

Yeah, funny how the polls underestimate the conservatives or does the lsm just get the #'s wrong. Got to love how the lsm tells us how dumb Trump is, how Bush was a dumb cowboy, Reagan was old and senile, BUT obama was the most intelligent president ever, hillary was the most qualified candidate ever, Bill was the first "black" president who "cared" about the people...I'm starting to see a trend here.

Just a question. Has anybody here ever been polled by one of these so called non partison polls? I have not.

President Trump has created the strongest economy in the world  He is now wielding that economy as a weapon.  An integral part of Reagan being able to destroy the (former) Soviet Union, was engaging in an expensive arms race which the Soviet Union simply could not afford.
Using trade as a weapon against China is working.  Even some on the Left, including Chuck Schumer, support what Trump is doing and see this as a winning strategy to ultimately even the playing field and force China into compliance with their obligations as a member of the WTO.

Now, President Trump is using our strong economy to force Mexico to take a firm hand in securing their southern border and stop enabling the invasion of the United States by illegal aliens.  Even though our economy will take a hit, since we are so strong (thanks to Trump) this will hurt them far more than it hurts us!

I admire President Trump's courage.  He is using his chief achievement for leverage in order to accomplish things that our in our national interests.  No one controls the outcome of any trade war, but other President's have been far to concerned with their own reelection to do the sort of things which must be done in order to win!

Wall Street will scream bloody murder  So will Democrats and Republicans who are in bed with special interests. Probably the Pope and many of our Allies will also be critical of what Trump is doing to force Mexico to help us control our border.  When the stakes are high, the risks are very great and the challenges become formidable.  However, This President may achieve the total denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and controlling our southern border against all odds, without any help from Congress, including much of his own party!  He has to use the tools he has, since Congress will not provide him the other tools which he could do to do the job, with far less collateral damage.

No, and I do answer my phone when I have it on despite all of the robo calls. But, I don't carry it around much, mainly rely on voicemail.

Good post.

The above is so true. That is the challenge.

President Trump is playing 3D Chess.  He has created a great, strong economy which he can use (as Reagan did) as a cudgel to accomplish the things that other Presidents have complained about but been helpless to do anything about!   It is quite natural that those enjoying the profit high don't want anything to interfere with their bottom line.  President Trump knows that even if the DOW loses a few thousand points it still is so much better than when he took office that their is room to use our economy against that of others (China, Mexico and anyone else) to accomplish our foreign policy goals.  Foreign policy and domestic policies are entwined with each other and there is nowhere this is more apparent than the mass invasion of our nation by foreign nationals illegally crossing our border!

What the left fails to understand is voters will not walk away from Trump because of his tweets or the things he says or does. Trump today is the same as Trump in 2016 and people voted for him anyway.

That's just it, those that supported him, did so because he isn't afraid of the left and would love him just as much if not more, if he doubled down on his rhetoric. I know I would, I love how he doesn't let shit slide, he responds with 10 times the vigor against his attackers. China just discovered, the "Man Of Steel" is good for his word.
The man amazes the shit out of me, a Superman, if you will.

The people who voted for Trump are more committed than ever to see this thru. Results matter, and Trump has delivered.
