RUSH: A shocking news item from Rasmussen Reports today. Donald Trump\u2019s personal approval and presidential approval number has reached 50%! Fifty percent approve, 49% disapprove.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now, we have to look at this and say, how in the world is this happening? It is a stunning thing, and on the surface it doesn\u2019t make any sense. Let\u2019s review some recent Trump activity. He blasts one of America\u2019s longtime, highly touted newspapers, the Washington Post. And because Jeff Bezos of Amazon owns it, he\u2019s now calling it not a newspaper, but essentially a political action committee that needs to be regulated as such.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s blasting the special counsel who is said to be a man of the highest integrity. Facebook, Twitter, Google largely doing everything they can to undermine Donald Trump, and they have been for two to three years. Netflix has just hired Susan Rice, the woman who lied on five Sunday morning TV shows about a video being responsible for the terrorist activity in Benghazi. She\u2019s been hired for the Netflix board of directors.<\/p>\n

And you have Camera Hogg out there and doing what he\u2019s doing and the anti-gun crowd and all that.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All of these things that Trump is up against, and yet he\u2019s at 50% approval. How in the world does this happen? Not to mention hundred percent, 90% negative media coverage. How does it happen he gets to 50%, and what does it mean?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Seriously, how does Trump get to 50% approval? By the way, just so you know, Rasmussen is the only polling outfit that does this now. Rasmussen is the only bunch that polls likely voters on a regular basis on presidential approval, on a regular basis. Some of the others will dibble and dabble at it, but Rasmussen is it. The others have gotten out of it, in large part, because results were so inconsistent.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s Trump in the only poll on this that\u2019s taken regularly at 50%. He\u2019s been hovering at 42 to 45, 47 now, breaks the 50% barrier. The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, USA Today, MSNBC, every media outlet out there is lined up 90% of the time every day opposed to it.<\/p>\n

\"\"Trump has announced he\u2019s pulled out of the Paris climate change accords. Trump has announced he\u2019s gonna get rid of the Iranian nuclear deal. All of these great, lovable things Obama did that we were told the nation totally supported. Trump is so ticked off over the lack of cooperation he\u2019s getting on getting a handle on illegal immigration, he said today, DACA is dead, screw it, I\u2019m tired of working with people on it.<\/p>\n

You would think that with all of this, his numbers would be plummeting! But they aren\u2019t. Now, it doesn\u2019t mean these newspapers and cable news networks are ineffective. It just means they\u2019re not fooling as many people as regularly as they have been. And, of course, it\u2019s just one poll, so we have to take all of this with some guarded sense of perspective.<\/p>\n

But I have long thought that this never-ending, unreasonable attack on Trump is gonna have a backlash, is going to cause a backlash at some point, only because I\u2019ve always believed that people\u2019s emotional reservoirs eventually fill and then begin to drain. You cannot maintain fever pitch emotion, over anything, pro or con, at 100% intensity for very long. At some point, people begin to ask, “Well, where is the beef? You know, we\u2019ve had a year and a half of Trump\u2019s this and Trump\u2019s that, but we haven\u2019t seen any evidence of it. Where is it?” So maybe a bit much a backlash.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me grab a quick phone call here on the subject of Trump\u2019s approval numbers. It\u2019s Smokey in San Diego. Smokey, great to have you on the program, sir. How are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Great, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Smokey, how did you get the nickname Smokey?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Unfortunately from time to time I like to clip off the end of a nice cigar.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whoa. Then it\u2019s a positive nickname.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Quite a positive.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Great. Great. I was hoping it was something like that rather than you start fires.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, nothing like that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, cool.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Hey, Rush, what I wanted to opine about is the approval ratings that are hitting 50%, I think Roseanne has a large effect on that. I know last week you talked about, well, is she really conservative, is she really —<\/p>\n

RUSH: She\u2019s not. But she\u2019s a pro-Trumper.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, she\u2019s a pro-Trumper, and I think what she said on Jimmy Kimmel broke the ice. It was like somebody besides, you know, talk radio, besides Fox News, somebody said, “Let Trump be, let him succeed. Don\u2019t try to make him fail.” And I think there could be another Hollywood person that would say the same thing. I think it\u2019s sort of a relief to people to hear that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — Smokey, do you really think that a television show that mentioned Trump in a favorable light is responsible for a two-and-a-half to three percentage point increase in approval number? Now, it did have a huge audience. It\u2019s 18 million people that watched the show, minimum. Do you really think a TV show can have that much effect on the approval numbers?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you know, it went up to 22 million after the DVR data came in, and I think you wait and see what the numbers are this time, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it approaches 30. I think —<\/p>\n

RUSH: If they do that, they\u2019re getting close to this audience size.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. And she has a certain following, you know, she\u2019s blue-collar.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. I got it. I appreciate it. I wanted to take your call because you\u2019re providing an excellent transition into something the left is trying to get people to believe. The left is saying that Trump\u2019s approval numbers went up — are you ready for this? Trump\u2019s approval numbers jump up because he caved on the wall and he caved on immigration, and he caved on spending in the omnibus bill, and so a bunch of Trump-hating leftists are looking at him in a different light now.<\/p>\n

And so Trump\u2019s approval numbers are not going up because he\u2019s got additional support from people on the so-called right or among conservatism, but rather Trump\u2019s jump in approval number is strictly because the left is beginning to like him more, since he caved on so many things in the omnibus. Now, I\u2019m telling you, they\u2019re gonna be out there trying to push this, if they\u2019re not already. (interruption) Well, that\u2019s the question. Not only who\u2019s gonna believe it. How widespread is it gonna be?<\/p>\n

\"\"You know, I found it in an esoteric place. It\u2019s not widely disseminated yet, but it\u2019s gonna be. Because this number just came out today. The Rasmussen number just came out today. By the time tonight rolls around and tomorrow, with all of the predictable panels on cable news, you\u2019re gonna see somebody posit this theory that Trump\u2019s numbers have nothing to do with his supporters liking him more. It has nothing to do with Trump even gaining supporters. What it really is is a bunch of leftists that they\u2019re not Never Trumpers, they\u2019re not crazy about the guy, but, hey, he did the right thing, all this spending, he caved on the wall, he caved on this, hey, maybe he\u2019s not so bad. Maybe he\u2019s gonna be okay. And that\u2019s what they\u2019re gonna try to say is the reason he got to 50.<\/p>\n

(interruption) I just did explain why. I mean, you didn\u2019t hear it all \u2019cause you\u2019re busy screening calls in there, but not only did I explain why, I explained what tough odds there are to pull this off. You got 90% media coverage every day against Trump. Trump has supposedly canceled so many things that the American people supposedly loved that Obama did. I mean, he\u2019s taken a knife to the individual mandate in Obamacare. He has pulled us out of the Paris climate accords. That means we\u2019re gonna sweat and die. He wants to pull us out of Obama\u2019s Iran nuclear deal.<\/p>\n

You got the New York Times, ABC, CBS, NBC, Washington Post pummeling Trump every day, and yet he\u2019s at 50%. So my theory on Trump approval numbers going up is related to substance and policy. People don\u2019t want any part of climate change. People don\u2019t want the Iran nuclear deal. They don\u2019t want the Iranians to have a nuclear weapon. I believe people still think Trump is dead serious on the wall and immigration even though he caved in the omnibus on these things.<\/p>\n

The left is simply grasping at straws with this theory. Have any of you ever run into a Never Trumper that could be changed by Trump? I mean, somebody that hates Trump, you know them, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve run into these people around town in your daily lives. You run into these Never Trumpers, I mean, they are viscerally anti-Trump. They are fulminating with hate. Trump has what\u2019s called perfect polarization. There\u2019s nobody that does not have an opinion on Trump. He\u2019s either wildly appreciated and liked or he\u2019s despised.<\/p>\n

So does it make sense that that Trump can convert some of these people that genuinely hate him into giving him thumbs-up on approval polls? But that\u2019s what they\u2019re gonna say, that\u2019s what they\u2019re gonna try to say is one of the possible explanations for this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to the phones we go. This is Matthew in Oklahoma City. Great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. First-time caller, not necessarily long-term listener. I\u2019ve been listening to you for about five years, and it\u2019s an honor to talk to you, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir. Appreciate it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I was just wanting to say, earlier you had mentioned where you can\u2019t think of a single Never Trumper that has started to sway or once a Never Trumper they\u2019re always a Never Trumper. And my wife is a perfect example of someone who has actually started to sway. My wife hated Trump, hated him when he started running, couldn\u2019t stand the guy, thought he was a fascist, bigot, every name under the sun.<\/p>\n

\"\"But once he became president and his economic packages started to pass and, you know, his relationships with these other countries started to improve our standing in the world, she\u2019s started to sway her opinion of him. She still thinks he\u2019s a jerk, but she thinks he\u2019s making a very good president.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, this is fascinating, because the reason why he\u2019s calling, folks, is because in the first hour of today\u2019s busy broadcast, I mentioned that Trump\u2019s approval numbers in the only constant presidential approval poll taken now, the Rasmussen people, Trump\u2019s approval number first time is at 50%, 49% disapprove. And I went through the list of things that might explain it and what Trump has had to overcome in terms of opposition to get 50%.<\/p>\n

I pointed out that the Drive-By Media is going to say that maybe Trump\u2019s approval number going up has nothing to do with more Trump supporters. That they\u2019re gonna try to say that Never Trumpers or anti-Trumpers are softening their view because he caved on much in the omnibus spending bill. In other words, gonna try to claim that some Democrats are softening and that\u2019s why Trump\u2019s approval numbers are coming up, that he\u2019s actually still losing support among people that originally supported him. But your wife does not fit that circumstance, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Your wife began to turn around after Trump\u2019s economic policies were implemented and substantive changes took place, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: When Trump caved on the omnibus, did your wife make note of it, did that make her like him even more or was not a factor?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, she did not like that. She thought that was too much money to be spending on stuff. I mean, she liked the military spending, \u2019cause her father\u2019s a veteran and so she\u2019s —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — all for increasing the money for our military, but a bunch of that stuff she\u2019s like, that\u2019s stupid. I mean, she\u2019s a Millennial and she\u2019s starting to realize that the media is completely dishonest. She doesn\u2019t even go to the main sources anymore.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, this is fascinating. I have found that women, especially who think Trump is boorish and piggish, never change their minds on him. No matter what he does, he cannot change their opinion of him if it\u2019s rooted in they don\u2019t like his personality or his —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — tweets or his behavior.<\/p>\n

CALLER: She still doesn\u2019t like his personality, but she is liking his policies as a president.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Yeah, that\u2019s why I say it\u2019s rare. I haven\u2019t run into too many people doing that, especially women. If your wife is, then that\u2019s not gonna be good news for the Democrats. I know this is anecdotal, it\u2019s just one story, one example here. Has it made your marriage a little less contentious, or was it not a problem?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah. We were a little contentious when he was running for president, but once he actually started doing the things that he said he was gonna do and actually the country started to improve, yeah, it\u2019s made a whole world of difference. My wife is not one of those women that Hillary talked about and said that they vote the way their husband tells them to vote. My wife does not listen to a word I say. She\u2019s her own free spirit and free minded woman.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Join the club. That\u2019s why I always say women are the ones with ultimate power in civilized society. What about me? Does your wife have an opinion of me?<\/p>\n

CALLER: She likes you, she likes your humor, which I love your human too. We think you\u2019re funny, but she\u2019s a little indifferent with that. She likes the source because it\u2019s not a direct main media source. She doesn\u2019t like Fox News. But she\u2019s willing to listen to these radio shows because they tend to be more neutral.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Interesting. This is fascinating stuff. I love learning how people think, when it\u2019s thinking involved and not feeling. I\u2019m fascinated by how people think. And course there\u2019s a lot of factors in that, basic foundation of knowledge, confidence in what people believe, all of that is a big factor in someone\u2019s thought process, versus people that are not confident, not sure of themselves, they\u2019ll think in different ways. This is, as I say, fascinating. It\u2019s anecdotal, doesn\u2019t mean anything in terms of doesn\u2019t represent a large body of public opinion, but it\u2019s still one story and it goes against the grain of what the Drive-Bys are trying to say.<\/p>\n

Let me run through this again because I don\u2019t want to be confusing about this. The Trump approval numbers at 50. Now, in a normal circumstance, big deal. Trump\u2019s numbers, by the way, in this same survey at the same time in the presidency, Trump\u2019s numbers are higher than Obama\u2019s were at this same time. And they\u2019re not gonna tell you that.<\/p>\n

What they\u2019re going to try to tell you is that Trump\u2019s approval number is up because Americans are less angry at him since he caved on the stimulus. And that means he caved on the wall, he caved on DACA, and caved on pretty much everything but defense. That\u2019s what the media is going to try and attribute his increased approval rating to. And they\u2019re wrong about that. They\u2019re gonna try to tell you it has nothing to do with Trump becoming more popular, it has everything to do with people disliking him less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
