    I like that he's bragging that a majority of people still don't approve of the job he's doing.

    Rasmussen for GOP is constantly above average.

    As of last week, Rasmussen was the highest at 44%. Pew Research and Monmouth were the lowest at 32%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...pproval_rating

    EDIT: Also of note, it's dropped a point since then and his disapproval with the same poll is at 53%. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/publ...ez_track_dec29 (annoying autoplay video with sound on that site)

    Re approval ratings:

    I find aggregates do a better job than a single poll, personally. He has been "trending" up the last couple of weeks, but "trends" over a short period of time are kinda worthless.

    Wut?

    Seriously, has anyone heard him mention commercial aviation, or pretty much any aviation, at all? What'd he do, sign an executive order telling airline pilots not to crash planes?

    EDIT: Probably one of the better articles so far this morning about just how damn weird that was: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...safety/549461/ Notably, this stat was the first time worldwide. US commercial aviation hasn't had a death since 2009, and no passenger-jet deaths since 2006. Thanks, Obama.

    I think aerospace engineers, manufacturing, maintenance workers and air traffic controllers deserve the credit more than any presidents.

    I think you need to highlight that more... First, the statistic involved is crashes worldwide.

    So, he's taking credit for all commercial air traffic worldwide. Thanks Trump!

    Ugh, I can't even say that ironically. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.


    If anything, Trump has promised to loosen regulations on aviation. Meeting with airlines executives in February 2017, Trump complained of a “regulatory morass that’s a disaster” and said he’d loosen “burdensome regulations.”
