Bad News, dims. Trump Approval Now At 50%

[DrLove]

Look up Rasmussen’s prediction for 2016 just before the election.

Stay in denial.

Oh I have - and it's nonsense. Razzy robo-polls and they call primarily those with land lines (old people). Robos are only slightly better than online polls. You get people with nothing better to do. Younger people hang up on them. Polling guru Nate Silver rates them a C+ for accuracy.

Donald Trump tweet on 50% approval cherry-picks polling data

Btw - Scott Rasmussen starting out writing columns for WorldNutDaily

No you didn’t, moron. Rasmussen was right on 2016 and Nate Silver was embarrassed because he was so wrong.

Nate Silver is irrelevant now that he said that Hillary had a 92% chance to win the election the day of.

You're lying again - no surprise of course

No, I am completely in line with the truth.

Nate Silver went from being a polling God to a joke in one day.

Rasmussen has been so bad that most experts toss them out.
Were Real Clear to do the same, Dotard's polling average would be 3-4 points lower.

Meanwhile, they have dimocraps with a 6 point edge over Republicans for the Midterms.

But we're not even campaigning yet and the Media is constantly campaigning for dims, so.......

LOL You do know that people admitting to being republican is a grand 26-29% ? Trump is a lying vile POS and needs to get kicked out of our WH Then we'll deal with that other AH Pence

tRumpy boy has no numbers when the recent news of price hikes due to his tariffs gets out. Thinking of a house!?
Construction Obstruction

By Louis Hansen [email protected] July 31, 2018

The Bay Area has any number of reasons for its historically low housing growth — high labor costs, soaring land prices, tight zoning laws. Add another challenge to building new homes and apartments in the region — tariffs. Levies on imported lumber and steel have become an emerging threat to residential projects in the housing-starved Bay Area, local developers and analysts say. The tariffs have driven up costs and stalled projects while mandating redesigns and sending builders scrambling to find savings elsewhere. New construction on apartments, condos and communities for middle- and low-income families could feel the brunt of rising material costs, analysts say. “We’re building, but we’re not building fast enough,” said Sean Randolph, senior director of the Bay Area Council Economic Institute. “Increasing housing costs due to tariffs doesn’t help.” President Donald Trump in April 2017 placed tariffs averaging 20 percent on Canadian softwood lumber, driving up prices on domes- tic and imported wood. The U.S. produces about two-thirds of the lumber needed for domestic construction. The remaining supply is imported, with about 95 percent of imports coming from Canada. Many foreign suppliers of two other common construction materials, steel and aluminum, were hit in March with tariffs of 25 per- cent and 10 percent, respectively. Home builders are starting to feel the pinch. Housing construction starts nationally fell 12 percent in June, with builders blaming a rapid rise in lumber prices. Lumber — from structural to finishing pieces — accounts for the largest material cost of building a new home. The median price for a new house in the U.S. is $369,000, with wood materials costing about $20,000, an increase of about $7,000 in the last year. Lumber costs in California are roughly the same as in the rest of the country. David Logan, a senior analyst with the National Association of Home Builders, said lumber prices have gone up almost 50 percent since the beginning of last year. Residential building permits in San Francisco and the East Bay are up about 2 percent from last June, while permits for new homes and apartments in the San Jose metro area have dropped nearly 10 percent, according to U.S. census Logan said the full impacts of tariffs likely will show up later in construction data, but developers are now talking about a slowdown. Builders have changed business strategies to target upscale homebuyers who can afford the price increases, he said. When financing projects depends on shaving tenths of a percent from costs, double-digit increases for materials can sink projects, developers say. Builders have redesigned homes to use less lumber. Higher steel prices have hurt high-rise con- struction and made steel a less attractive alternative to wood framing in single- family homes. RAD Urban, based in Oakland, found a formula to reduce construction costs in the Bay Area. The company builds housing modules, step-by-step, in a Central Valley factory. The steel-framed units are shipped to construction sites and assembled - saving time and money. The company estimates it can build a high rise apartment tower for 20 percent less than traditional construction. Then came the steel tariffs. _ “These sorts of pressures are working against us,” said Jason Laub, RAD Urban se- nior vice president. “We’re trying to change the way we build.” Steel costs for RAD Ur- ban and their suppliers rose 30 percent this year, Laub said. The company stopped construction on a commercial and residential towei so engineers could redesign the entire project. A planned 29-story tower on Webster Street in Oakland was cut to 15 stories, with fewer and smaller units. In a hypothetical, $13( million project, about $2( million would be budgeted for steel, Laub said. Adding an additional $6 million for steel can make the difference between a project getting built or plans lying un touched. RAD Urban is looking for alternative steel suppliers to keep building, he said. The company wants to buy steel from U.S. companies, Lau said, but it may be forced to import from foreign factories exempted from the tariffs. “If we can’t hit our num- bers,” he said, “then we don't have our project.” Lumber costs have knocked developers with ambitious plans to attack the region’s housing shortage. “We’ve had to stop projects,” said Josh Roden, president of the Bay Area division of Brookfield Residential. The developer with new residential projects in Dublin and Oakley halted construction in order to redesign homes and lower costs. The company did not want to substantially raise prices on the developments and lose its target customers, he said. The new single-family homes in Dublin start at about $1 million, and town-homes are priced around $800,000. Engineers sought to reduce the amount of lumber by changing the size and shape of walls, decks and windows. The new plans still met the strict earthquake building codes required by the state, Roden said. “A lot of groups are looking at their design engineering,” Roden said. “You can’t push prices forever.” Other Northern California developers report similar challenges. During the last year, Ponderosa Homes saw lumber prices rise by 33 percent and metal costs in- crease by between 5 and 15 percent on parts such as garage doors, heating and air conditioning ducts and trim. Logan said builders don’t expect a quick fix — earlier trade disputes over lumber have taken at least five years to resolve. The trade skirmishes have lasted for 18 months. In July, the Trump administration proposed another round of tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. The duties would be imposed after Aug 30. Logan expects developer costs to rise again, with new levies placed on nearly 500 products used by builders, including hand tools, light fixtures and “literally, kitchen sinks.”

City, county and state government regulations are the cause of SF's high housing costs, period. SF pays the same price for materials as every other city in the country, dumbass.

This is significant because, frankly, polling numbers are skewed to the left because the people most likely to favor Trump are working and those who don't like him are most likely to be sitting home in front of the TV.

And that was with the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM slobbering all over obama and with them hammering Trump at every turn.

Significant.

Meanwhile, they have dimocraps with a 6 point edge over Republicans for the Midterms.

LOL You do know that people admitting to being republican is a grand 26-29% ? Trump is a lying vile POS and needs to get kicked out of our WH Then we'll deal with that other AH Pence

26% is the number I see most often but I don't think we'll have an accurate current count until after the midterms. With Mango Mussolini at the helm, the smart ones are abandoning ship. Give him another two years and the number is likely to be closer to 15% or so.

My guess is that independents who outnumber dems and repubs will come out for the Dem party They don't have rocks in their heads like trumps base has

Agree - Trump will be the death of this party - R leaders have become invertebrates.
Could take years to reclaim what was left of their reputation.

Trump will be the death of YOUR party.

EVERY fucking day Republicans are getting 100s of new voters.

Many of them are minorities in big cities.

It is fucking hilarious that you want to pretend that Trump is doing terrible when he is doing much better than he was during the 2016 election and you didn’t even believe Trump had a chance to win the required amount of electoral votes back then.

Even your own big time strategists are saying that Democrats don’t have a message and that they don’t agree with Democratic Socialism.

Your party is in a death spiral and millions of people want nothing more than to finish the job.

[Mike473]

We shouldn't bother trusting the polling until a week out or less.

A lot of these polls put Clinton up by 14 points or more with just weeks left before election. Then, they tighten dramatically the week before and pat themselves on the back for being accurate. No way any of these professional polling companies believed Clinton was up by double digits. The polls were non sense and they knew it. They have to bring them into reality at the end to keep credibility.

Even Rasmussen the most unscientific and fake polls giving him 50% is a total disappointment.

Rasmussen’s election polling has tended to be quite accurate in the past.
Is Rasmussen Reports Biased?
These Pollsters Got The Election Right, According To RCP
The second most accurate poll according to the report was the national Rasmussen poll of likely voters. Although the end result showed that Clinton would win the race, the overall numbers are very close to the results, as long as you just count the popular vote. Clinton led Trump by 2 percentage points in the poll, nearly the same number as she led Trump in the overall popular vote.

Keep talking bullshit.

From your link? That’s very funny.

Color me stupid. Even your boi president has not come out swinging.

 

[charwin95]

Liberals love polls.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove.

A recent Harvard/Harris poll recorded a 10-point spike in Hispanic support for Mr. Trump. It hasn’t received much attention from the mainstream media, which is heavily invested in its portrait of the president as an unrepentant — and unpopular — “nativist.”

And consider Florida’s hotly-contested Senate race. Republican Gov. Rick Scott is besting his Democratic opponent among Hispanics, according to a Mason-Dixon poll. Historically, a large and aging Cuban-American exile community has given Republicans a decided partisan edge in the Sunshine State.

Let say Rasmussen is accurate. With excellent economy.
That 50% is a total disappointment. You would think it’s hovering around 60%+.

That is because Trumpy is a moron.
