WEDNESDAY: When President Trump locked Washington up...

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 2025

...his approvals jumped five points: As is true of every poll, the new poll by AP-NORC is only one poll.

No poll is ever perfectly accurate. If some poll was perfectly accurate, there would be no way to know that it was.

Polls provide approximations. That said, here's the way matters stand according to AP-NORC, Mediaite reporting:

Trump Surges to Best Approval Rating Ever in New AP Poll

President Trump is more popular than ever, at least according to one new poll released on Wednesday, with his approval rating jumping 5 points in the last month—an increase that coincides with his administration’s crime crackdown in Washington, D.C..

The poll results, from the The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, shows the president has a 45% approval rating nationwide. That is the best approval rating Trump has received from the AP-NORC poll in either his first or second term.

Trump’s handling of crime received a thumbs up from 53% of Americans who were polled; a whopping 88% of Republicans said they approved of the commander-in-chief’s approach to crime, while only 16% of Democrats said they liked what Trump is doing.

Some other key points on crime: 55% of respondents said it is “acceptable for the U.S. military and National Guard to assist local police in large cities,” according to the AP-NORC, but only one-third of Americans said they would support the federal government taking over police departments in American cities. The nationwide poll also found 80% of Americans believe crime is a major problem in big cities.

The report by Sean James continues from there. For the official report by AP-NORC, you can just click this.

For the record, the numbers in this poll aren't exactly "good"—but the numbers there are better. With respect to Trump's approval rating, AP-NORC had it at 42% back in March. It slid to 39 in April and June, then went to 40 last month. 

Now it's up to 45. The jump could be a statistical anomaly—or then again, probably not.

By the way:

Crime is "a major problem in big cities." When we Blues don't know how to say such things, we're looking for ways to lose.

  3. Although a larger percent of people support Trump, the anti-Trump passion seems to be getting even stronger. E.g. an acquaintance was encouraging people to attend a demonstration this weekend even though she didn't know what issue they were protesting or supporting. All she knew is that it was anti-Trump. That was enough.

"Mr President, I invite you see your big beautiful face on a banner in front of the Department of Labor because you are really the transformational president of the American worker, along with the American flag and President Roosevelt." Nothing looks more beautiful than hair plugs and orange paint on a doddering old man shitting himself.

    "Crime is 'a major problem in big cities.'"

    Is it?

    An opinion poll that includes responses from people who don't live in those cities might not be correct. Is crime a "major problem" because people believe it is? Or do we have other, objective data?

    Before I'll accept the conclusion, you'll have to tell me how you reached it.

    Heads up. Trump is now pushing Soros hate. He's well on his way to denouncing "globalists."

    "The president took to his Truth Social platform on Wednesday to say that the elder Soros and 'his wonderful Radical Left son' — who is now running his father’s Open Society Foundation nonprofit — should be charged with violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, a 1970 law providing for extended criminal penalties against participants in ongoing criminal organizations."

    5. Yes, Quaker. Trump said it. But, the article includes opinions as well as facts.
      1. Is the accusation really "Hard to prove". Wiki disagrees. "RICO has been used to prosecute a wide range of criminal activities beyond traditional organized crime, including political corruption and white-collar crimes."
      2. Is the accusation "baseless"? Does the article demonstrate that there's no basis at all? I doubt it.

      The article also notes that speculations that Soros is some sort of secret "puppet-master" echoes long-standing anti-Semitic slurs.

      Doesn't mean there was anything anti-Semitic about Trump's post. But keep your eyes open.

If I conjectured like you I would more plausibly say it's punishment for the wind farm owner being 50% the Danish Government and the fucking pants shitting two year old still wants Greenland cause he is a demented fool. The corrupt administration's official answer: "Despite that progress — and the fact that the project had cleared years of federal and state reviews — the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management issued the order Friday, saying the federal government needs to review the project and “address concerns related to the protection of national security interests of the United States.”" You just confirming what I always knew, you lie to advance your be poison flip flopping positions, always refusing to acknowledge simple facks. What a dic. (And what fucking justification does the admin have to pull Congressional funding. In before times none. Again, just another example of what a scam an liar you are. What about the many hundreds of workers suddenly without jobs. What about the citizens of Rhode Island who are going to pay to scrap the project.

  13. Powerful Democratic group caught red handed secretly paying progressive influencers so they can control what they say and make sure they push the party’s talking points:

    https://www.wired.com/story/dark-money-group-secret-funding-democrat-influencers/

    “Democrats missed the next generation of media,” says Brendan Gahan, cofounder of influencer marketing agency Creator Authority. “Historically they owned Hollywood, but this next generation of influence is digital, and they’ve miscalculated that. I don’t think they feel comfortable in arenas where they lack control.”
