Lucianne.com links to a Daily Caller article which compares President Trump’s current standing with voters to that of President Obama at the end of his first year in office. Based on polling by the Rasmussen organization, Obama’s rating was exactly the same as Trump’s is.
What makes this so interesting is the disparate treatment the two men received in the media. Barack Obama was (and is) essentially worshiped by all U.S. media not owned by Rupert Murdoch - which is to say everything except The Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, and Fox News.
Donald Trump has been excoriated by the same media which worships Obama, again with the exception of the Murdoch media. Given their identical end-of-first-year ratings of 46% positive and 53% negative, in the face of opposite press treatment, one of two things is true.
Either (a) nearly everyone ignores what the media says about our president, or (b) Trump has done a better job than Obama did in his first year. You could argue that the polling is flawed, but the same firm did both polls.
