At this point and time in their respective Presidencies, Trump has a higher approval rating. If you meant to say that Trump won't equal or surpass obamas highest ever approval rating, then I see your point. But that's not what you said. Correct?

It is what I said....Trump has never and will never have a approval rating as high as Obama...

That sentence means Trump never has nor never will have a approval rating as high as Obama.....which is 67%.

If I said something like Trump will never at any point have a higher approval rating than Obama then you would be right with your chart.....that however is not what I said.

And a blip on a chart is irrelevant; just like the market; a point in time doesn't tell the whole story.

I guess we disagree on the interpretation of what you said. Now let's see if you can admit that according to Gallup, at this same moment in both their Presidencies, Trumps approval is higher than obamas.

As they say, it's not how you start but how you finish. The impeachment stuff actually bumped up Trump's approval rating.

Anyone familiar with Biden's several decades as a US senator would realize his sentiment has been very middle of the road and that he would often work together with the GOP. He was one of the least partisan of either party! That's why he is one of the very few Dems I like politically. He can be the uniter this country can really use. Also, I like Joe as a person in general.

The stock market certainly isn't acting like he'd be a problem!

No offense but who is going to unite that needs uniting? Serious question. Are people that have been at each others throats just gonna start hugging each other because Joe Biden is a hugger?

The stock market is happy today because the socialist that could destroy this country is now less likely to even be the nominee

Sure I agree, I didn't vote for Obama nor did I support him ever. He was a pretty terrible president IMO, but he was well liked by Dems and independents.
 
When the debates start, Joe Biden is going to stand up on a stage. Whats he gonna say? How great the Obama years were? He is going to preach the same BS to the same people that Democrats have preached to for decades and these people Im sure are going to buy in and believe one more time that it might just come true. On the other side you will have a guy who has lowered the unemployment rate to record levels for these same folks. Doesnt sound like a very difficult choice to me unless you just really enjoy living in poverty.......
 
And look at all the money being spent in the name of beating Donald Trump, much of it belonging to Mike Bloomberg! Trump doesnt even have to blink and he is stimulating the economy!

It has more to do with Comrade Sanders chances dwindling then it does Biden great Super "Thursday". Come Nov. 4th if Biden wins, markets will fall hard

I can imagine Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in his kitchen. Wife in the living room watching TV. A Sanders ad runs and Hartman hears it. As the ad ends and fades to black, GySgt Hartman stomps into the room and says... “Who said that? Who the f**k said that? Who's the slimy little communist s**t, twinkle-toed c**ksucker down here who just signed his own death warrant?”

At least that’s how it is in my head. A very lonely place, my head.

I'll help you out here' Trump is the red number and obama is the blue number. At the end of the graph, the red number is 49 and the blue number is 45. 49 is a higher number than 45 so your statement of NEVER is incorrect.

Uhhh.... 67% is higher than 49%. I do t think he will ever get to 67% brah.

I wonder what the pro-Trump folks would say if the Dow were to end up over 1K, one of the largest point gains ever, on the day after Biden's great Super Tuesday.

I'm waiting to see if @Rain Cold is going to try for a 3rd Bojangles dinner in just 4 trading days.

Yeah I think we finish up over 1100! :)

I missed this earlier. Been a busy day. Market moves for a number of reasons, not the least of which are technical. Market action is largely driven by algorithms today, which look at various things like support and resistance levels, momentum, relative strength, etc. When you have an extreme move in one direction or the other, like last week, you usually get a violent snap back. That's what's happening now.

Plus, the Fed has trained us to buy the dips and that we can't have a bear market anymore. The market participants are well-conditioned to this now. Case in point, they ran straight to the rescue yesterday.

The Biden victory, in some ways gives cover to what was going to happen anyway. It was kind of a spark. But I submit that it wasn't the main reason. The market knew, even as it dropped yesterday, that Biden was going to win and win big. That's what the polls were showing leading up to yesterday and during the day. So, it wasn't some surprise that caught the market off guard.

We'll probably see more upside. But then, all eyes will be back on the Fed and CB policy for the next move.

Literally higher approval rating that Trump for 34 out of 37 months.

Agreed, however which would you rather have, start at 67 and be at 45 (33% decline) or start at 45 and be at 49 (8% increase)?

We can cut the numbers all kinds of ways, how about a fawning media for 8 straight years and then a 90+% negative media for 4 years or so.

How about a "cool" 1st "black" (if he was a Republican they'd say all kinds of nasty things about him) man and an admittedly over-bearing egotistical man. Who's likeable but who gets reults?

Time will tell, there's lies, dang lies, and statistics. In the end it will be the decision made by America in November.
 
Tolerance? Nope..

Our country is fiercely divided in two. Hatred for the other side is often stronger than for enemy county leadership! A civil war of words! I blame a lot of this on the internet but also on the last 2 POTUS's. You may not be able to tell based on your family, friends, and coworkers.
Obama, like Trump, promoted division even if he didn't want to. Biden is not Obama. Anyone familar with Biden would realize he's a very different person.

Biden is the least scary Democrat at the moment, but he still will appoint the most liberal judges so that's just about as scary because anything goes with all of them.

Seriously that is so weenie. I would venture to say Trump average approval Rating for all his years in office are higher than Obama’s. Average . Especially if he gets four more years. But holes mean nothing it’s how America is doing and overall America is better with trump than Obama. And that no one can argue because the economy has been roaring!
