Coronavirus impacts: Disrupted lives, elevated stress, and soaring worry<\/a>: Poll. Many report stress, worry, over the virus; 77% have experienced disruption.”<\/p>\nNot a word about Trump\u2019s approval number. And that\u2019s what the story is. The story is their poll. So they tweet: “51% of Americans approve of Trump\u2019s” — a tweet, by the way, 5:30 on a Friday when nobody will see it, you know, document dump Friday. So they get it out there. Then they rewrite the story. And we find out that the polling data is adults. It\u2019s not registered voters. It\u2019s not likely voters. It\u2019s just adults. It\u2019s the least informative sample you could report on.<\/p>\n
“This ABC News\/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone March 22-25, 2020, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,003 adults.”<\/p>\n
Not likely voters, not registered voters, not informed voters, just adults. “Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including the design effect.” The design effect? You mean where you purposely oversample Democrats? “Partisan divisions are 30-24-37%, Democrats-Republicans-independents.”<\/p>\n
Okay. Now, a pull quote from the story. “In the political arena, President Donald Trump\u2019s overall job approval rating advanced to his best on record in ABC\/Post polls, 48%, even as 58% say he acted too slowly in the early days of the outbreak.” He didn\u2019t act too slowly. He acted timely. He started banning flights from China. It was the Democrats who called him a racist and a xenophobe and told him he can\u2019t do it. They fought him on the shutdowns, they fought him on closing the borders.<\/p>\n
It was the Democrats urging people to go to their parades in New York. It was Democrats urging people to go to their parties. It was Democrats. We\u2019ve got the audio. It was Democrats telling people there\u2019s nothing to see here. It\u2019s not a big deal. Go ahead and go to your parade. Hispanic parade, whatever the parades were. Elected Democrats in New York City and the state were advocating people pay no attention to the early warning signs. Trump was the only guy who did, and they called him a racist for it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
“This is the first time since he took office that Trump\u2019s approval rating has exceeded disapproval of his work, 46% (though the difference isn\u2019t statistically significant). Fifty-one percent approve specifically of Trump\u2019s handling of the outbreak; 45% don\u2019t.” And that\u2019s the call to arms for the Drive-By Media. Fifty-one percent approving Trump on anything is DEFCON 5 for the Drive-By Media. Fifty-one percent job approval, 51% approve of the way he\u2019s handling the coronavirus, 51% approval of the way he\u2019s handling the economy, DEFCON 5 for the Drive-By Media. Got to get that number down.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s CNN, Chris Cillizza. “Here\u2019s an indisputable fact: President Donald Trump is as popular today as he has been since his first day in office.” It\u2019s actually a Gallup poll being reported by CNN, very snarky.<\/p>\n
“In a new Gallup poll, 49% approve of the job Trump is doing as president while 45% disapprove, matching the highest his approval rating has ever been in Gallup surveys. A Monmouth University poll released on Monday showed Trump at 46% approval, again the best he has done in that poll in more than three years.<\/p>\n
“What accounts for Trump\u2019s rise? Simple: His response to the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n
In the Gallup poll, 60% of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing in handling the crisis while 38% disapprove of how he has done. Six in 10 independents approve of how Trump has done on the coronavirus as do more than 1 in 4 (27%) of Democrats. In the Monmouth poll, 50% say Trump has done a good job with coronavirus while 45% said he has done a bad job.”<\/p>\n
And then CNN says: “On one level, this isn\u2019t terribly surprising. Polling consistently shows a rallying effect around the president when major crises face the country.” And they go on to talk about September 11th. But it doesn\u2019t mean that they can\u2019t try to do something about it. Donald Trump has moved heaven and earth to solve problems, problems of individual Americans, cities, states, federal agencies. You ask, he answers.<\/p>\n
And then there\u2019s the Democrats. Trump has risen to the occasion. Mike Pence has risen to the occasion. Have Pelosi and Schumer risen to the occasion, or have they sunk to new lows? They have sunk to new lows, trying to hold the American people hostage while robbing the Treasury on behalf of left-wing interest groups. Are you kidding me? NPR and the Kennedy Center? Give the money back! The contrast could not be more stark.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PelosiSchumer.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
Americans are suffering. The Democrats are trying to profit politically and even financially off the despair. As we know when left-wing interest groups get money from Congress, they donate it right back to Democrats, it\u2019s a money-laundering scheme. It\u2019s what Planned Parenthood is. It\u2019s what union donations are, glorified money laundering scheme. “What do you mean by that?”<\/p>\n
Okay. Let me illustrate it for you. For those of you who are new to the program. The Democrat Party up until today couldn\u2019t just walk to the Treasury and write itself a check, a campaign donation. It couldn\u2019t do that. So what\u2019s the next best thing? You come up with a stimulus plan that bestows billions of federal dollars on who? Your constituents. Unions, Planned Parenthood, take your pick. What do they do with the federal money they\u2019ve gotten? They turn around and donate a portion of it back to the Democrat Party, to individual Democrats, to the DNC.<\/p>\n
So you take government money, you put it out to people in the stimulus, you wash it, you launder it, and then it comes back — not all of it, of course, but a hefty amount comes back to the DNC, the Democrat Party as a result of money donated to the Kennedy Center, to NPR, the Planned Parenthood group, their related pro-abortion industry people and, of course, the big unions all over the place. And that\u2019s the way the money laundering scheme works.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what Pelosi and Schumer were making sure happened when this stimulus package was devised and debated. The Democrats are living in panic right now because — look, folks. Common sense is that the American people are not going to change horses in the middle of a crisis stream like this. It\u2019s statistically borne out that presidential elections in periods of time like this, wartime, you don\u2019t throw out the incumbent. “But, Rush, but, Rush, what if millions are dying and what if nothing that\u2019s working seems to be working and what if nothing tried — will Trump will be?” Well, yeah, you go down the road and if there\u2019s something like that were to happen, but the Democrats still have to have an alternative. And they don\u2019t like the alternative.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t like Biden. The very fact they\u2019re salivating over Andrew Cuomo is proof positive they know Plugs isn\u2019t the answer. Folks, they don\u2019t have anything. They don\u2019t have anybody. And Cuomo can\u2019t run. Their own rules say — oh, wait. Slap me. Democrats and rules. They\u2019ll change the rules in midstream if they have to. If Cuomo became the nominee, that would once again put the spotlight on Cuomo\u2019s actual job as a governor prior to all this, and it\u2019s not gonna look good. He\u2019s not their answer. He may be perfectly placed where he is now.<\/p>\n
And you may not want to Peter principle the guy. He may be perfectly placed where he is, governor of New York, giving motivational speeches to the National Guard and things. But in terms of a viable alternative candidate, the Democrats… I mean, it\u2019s been pathetic. Whoever is putting Joe Biden…<\/p>\n
You know, Biden, they built a TV studio for him in his rec room and then they sent Plugs down to the rec room to brag about how it only took four days to put this thing together and how it\u2019s technologically advanced. It was sad. He couldn\u2019t stay on topic. Whoever is putting him out there… Every family has had somebody go through in their life what Joe Biden\u2019s going through, and they can relate to it.<\/p>\n
The one thing you would never do with your family member going through what Biden\u2019s going through is elect them president. You wouldn\u2019t even want them nominated. Yet somebody in the Democrat Party\u2019s putting him out there, and you know why they\u2019re doing it is because Plugs is seen to be like Bob Dole was in \u201996.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s gonna do the least damage down ballot. It\u2019s acknowledged that he\u2019s gonna lose the presidential election. But he may help hold on to, say, the African-American vote for the Democrats down ballot or the Hispanic vote for the Democrats down ballot, and that\u2019s it. But, man, if there are debates? I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re virtual debates.<\/p>\n
Trump could easily say, “I\u2019m not gonna debate the poor guy. I\u2019m not gonna sit here and participate in the public humiliation of Joe Biden. I am not gonna help the Democrat Party ruin this man\u2019s reputation. There will be no debates, because I like Joe Biden.<\/p>\n
“He\u2019s a nice guy. He doesn\u2019t deserve what the Democrats are doing to him.” I can see Trump doing that, \u2019cause if there are debates, they\u2019re not gonna last more than a half hour before somebody throws in a white towel from off camera — and then the CNN\/ABC people start crying on camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
