No matter how much the media may try, they still can’t lower Trump’s approval ratings. After a week of Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen and impeachment talk, Americans aren’t buying it. They know the fake news media aren’t to be trusted. Even after CNN’s fake news story about Michael Cohen “flipping” on Trump and lies by Lanny Davis, Trump’s approval ratings are still higher than Obama’s at this point of his presidency.

Between Aug. 18 and Aug. 22 — the day after the news involving former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen — the president’s approval rating stood at 46 percent approve, 51 percent disapprove.
In a separate NBC/WSJ survey, conducted Aug. 22 through Aug. 25, Trump’s approval rating was 44 percent approve and 52 percent disapprove. That’s within the poll’s margin of error.
Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies, who conducted this survey with Democratic pollster Peter Hart and his team at Hart Research Associates, called Trump’s approval rating “remarkably stable” despite the Manafort and Cohen developments, both of which became public on the same afternoon last Tuesday.
Hart adds that, for Democrats hoping to craft a midterm election strategy, the week’s news thus far “represents a fools gold opportunity rather than a silver bullet solution.”
