PRESIDENT HOLDS – AT 12:45 P.M. ET:  The first poll to greet the new political season set to start tomorrow shows President Trump holding his approval.  Not great, but not bad either.  From Rasmussen: 

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 47% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove. 

The latest figures include 35% who Strongly Approve of the president is performing and 42% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -7.

And take this, CNN:

On Labor Day in 2010, President Obama’s second year in office, 45% approved, 54% disapproved of the job he was doing. His Approval Index rating was -20.

COMMENT:  What?  You mean that President Trump is actually more popular at this point in his term than was the sainted Barack (come to save us) Obama?  Looks that way, at least in the Rasmussen poll. 

Don't tell Anderson Cooper.
