You know there\u2019s surveys out there, polling data out there that Trump has an approval number higher than Congress and the media combined. Forget what Trump\u2019s approval number is in the Drive-Bys. By comparison to Obama, of course, it\u2019s dismal, and the Drive-Bys use it to say that the country is embarrassed of Trump, and it\u2019s horrible and rotten.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-246074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/650-021717-Trump-Points-Am-Flag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/650-021717-Trump-Points-Am-Flag.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/650-021717-Trump-Points-Am-Flag-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>But when you look at the comparative data, you find that Trump\u2019s approval number is more than twice what the media and Congress approval number combined are. In other words, Trump is more liked. Trump is more approved, has higher approval than Congress or the media even when you combine them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-224866\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/SELENAZITO.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/SELENAZITO.jpg 412w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/SELENAZITO-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Selena Zito reported in Pennsylvania: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/nypost.com\/2017\/09\/02\/in-this-part-of-the-us-people-are-rooting-for-trump-more-than-ever\/\">In This Part of the US, People Are Rooting for Trump More Than Ever<\/a>.&#8221; Here\u2019s some numbers for you. This is why the Republican Party is making one of the biggest mistakes it\u2019s made in my lifetime. &#8220;The Republican Party has gained 100,000 new registered voters in Pennsylvania, knocking the Democrats\u2019 lead of 913,017 down to 808,974. That number includes 31,000 new registered Republicans in Philadelphia. Yes, Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the past few months, a CNN producer and a Scandal star have called people who voted for Trump &#8216;stupid.\u2019 Their contempt has registered with voters in this part of the country, and it has only served to escalate their commitment to the president.&#8221; Well, it was, what was this guy\u2019s name, Molina, the guy on Scandal who plays the attorney general. I forget his name. But he\u2019s out there and, of course, the CNN producer, well, hell everybody at CNN. Hillary calls \u2019em deplorables. These other people are calling them idiots. How could you be so stupid to vote for Trump?<\/p>\n<p>And the Trump voters hear this stuff and it doesn\u2019t shame them, it doesn\u2019t embarrass them, because they don\u2019t care about appealing to the media. It just cements them even deeper with Trump. Here\u2019s another pull quote. &#8220;Despite his flaws, Trump voters are waving the flag for their underdog candidate in a show of defiance. Many don\u2019t think he is on the ropes, and they believe he will eventually get results.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-246075\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Dems-Failure-012616.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Dems-Failure-012616.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Dems-Failure-012616-300x122.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>There\u2019s a man profiled in the story named Moyer, and it then says: &#8220;Customers are still coming into Moyer\u2019s shop, requesting pro-Trump signs for the first time, wanting to show their support.&#8221; In other words, all of this savage attack on Trump, in Trump country, in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, some of these other formerly blue states, it is backfiring on the Democrats; they don\u2019t even know it yet, although I think they do, because of this. &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2017\/09\/02\/nancy-pelosi-the-voters-dont-want-to-hear-us-criticizing-the-president\/\">Nancy Pelosi: The Voters &#8216;Don\u2019t Want to Hear Us Criticizing the President<\/a>.&#8221; That is a quote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The voters don\u2019t want to hear us criticizing the president. This was a choice; they made a decision. And to criticize the president personally is to disrespect their judgment. So I say to my members, &#8216;This is about what we\u2019re going to do.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She was talking to the editorial board and reporters at the Denver Post about the Democrat agenda. They know, folks. They know that all this Antifa stuff, they know that all of this mobilized hatred and all of the words of filth and hatred aimed at Trump, they know it\u2019s backfiring on them. They don\u2019t have an agenda. They don\u2019t have an agenda they can be honest about. They may not even have an agenda other than get back power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Salena Zito is back after having made another trip into Pennsylvania, where she has once again scouted Trump voters, and she reports that people are rooting for Trump more than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":246076,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Attacks on Trump Are Backfiring - and Democrats Know It - The Rush Limbaugh Show<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2017\/09\/05\/attacks-on-trump-are-backfiring-and-democrats-know-it\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Attacks on Trump Are Backfiring - and Democrats Know It - The Rush Limbaugh Show\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"RUSH: Salena Zito is back after having made another trip into Pennsylvania, where she has once again scouted Trump voters, and she reports that people are rooting for Trump more than ever.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-090517-Trump-Points.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"George Prayias\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/\",\"name\":\"The Rush Limbaugh Show\",\"description\":\"Excellence In Broadcasting\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2017\/09\/05\/attacks-on-trump-are-backfiring-and-democrats-know-it\/#primaryimage\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-090517-Trump-Points.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-090517-Trump-Points.jpg\",\"width\":600,\"height\":315},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2017\/09\/05\/attacks-on-trump-are-backfiring-and-democrats-know-it\/#webpage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2017\/09\/05\/attacks-on-trump-are-backfiring-and-democrats-know-it\/\",\"name\":\"Attacks on Trump Are Backfiring - and Democrats Know It - The Rush Limbaugh Show\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2017\/09\/05\/attacks-on-trump-are-backfiring-and-democrats-know-it\/#primaryimage\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-09-05T19:20:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2017-09-06T20:05:48+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/#\/schema\/person\/a2bc43fbe4b4e1ff4d1f092c6086a349\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2017\/09\/05\/attacks-on-trump-are-backfiring-and-democrats-know-it\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2017\/09\/05\/attacks-on-trump-are-backfiring-and-democrats-know-it\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2017\/09\/05\/attacks-on-trump-are-backfiring-and-democrats-know-it\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Attacks on Trump Are Backfiring &#8212;
