Donald Trump's approval rating is 52%. Barack Obama's approval rating at the same point of his presidency (4 September 2012) was 48%.
Forty-two percent of respondents strongly approve of Trump. Only 27% of respondents strongly approved of Obama.
Obama was re-elected.

Here is John Nolte's latest column.
Has a presidential candidate (challenger or incumbent) ever campaigned for the office without providing the voters with an idea of what they would do if elected?
As we approach the November election, only the challenger has articulated a sense of how he would govern. You may not agree with that agenda but its existence is proven by the attacks being made against it by the incumbent and his supporters.
Conversely, the incumbent has failed to offer the voters any idea of what would guide him in his second term and this is proven each time he is asked to tell us about this agenda. Invariably, his responses amount to “More of the same.”
For some, this is an elixir. For others it’s a guarantee that our society will continue to be debased at the expense of our democracy. If “We the people” vote, the incumbent loses.
Charles Murdock, Austin
Note from KBJ: The voters want more of the same, Charles. More greatness.
The Atlantic Magazine is dying, like most magazines, so they make up a fake story in order to gain some relevance. Story already refuted, but this is what we are up against. Just like the Fake Dossier. You fight and and fight, and then people realize it was a total fraud!

Re: “Fear strategy may work for Trump” [Aug. 31, Opinion]:
Columnists are entitled to their opinions—that’s their job—but not to spread misinformation.
Cynthia M. Allen states, “The White House does employ rapid testing, rendering masks unnecessary, after all.” Rapid testing is less accurate than traditional laboratory testing and does not make mask wearing only a fashion statement, especially with many people from disparate areas commingling.
Failing to wear masks represents total disregard for the safety of others and for scientific evidence, thus completely in line with this administration’s prevailing attitudes.
Virginia P. Sybert, Seattle
Note from KBJ: We elected Donald Trump, not scientists. What really pisses Virginia Sybert off is that President Trump doesn't defer to her preferred scientists.

Crazy Nancy Pelosi said she was “set up” by the beauty parlor owner when she improperly had the salon opened (and didn’t wear a MASK!). Does anyone want a Speaker of the House who can be so easily SET UP?
