13173894, Just to clarify, this is the lowest specifically in the sixth month in office.

I seem to remember that W was in the mid to low 20's for most of his seventh and eighth years.

Of course, at the six month mark, according to the plots here, W was at 59%. That doesn't bode well for Mr. Trump. (Not that the same rules apply to him; they obviously don't, at least not all of them.)

His tax plan has to go into effect and thousands of jobs have to be lost for six consecutive months along with basic services cut. At that point his approval rating should dip below 20 percent. If it his single digits then he's done.

The good news is we have time. Hopefully it dips to 10 before christmas.

It may not matter because his AARP fan base and racist alt right fans like Laura Southern etc will parrot his beliefs anyway.

They get elected when 60% of the country STRONGLY disagree with them.

Just get your goober ass friends to actually go fucking vote.
13173904, Does not matter at all. He's still super popular with the repub base

That's why there are no people in congress even attempting to distance themselves from him a little bit.

If you look at the Alabama special election to replace Sessions, the candidates are trying their best to tie themselves to Trump as much as possible. They are trying to prove who was most loyal to Trump the longest and who is more Trumpian in there beliefs. Who ever gets the Trump endorsement is going to be the runaway winner.

"And in Alabama, Mr. Trump’s preference matters. He may be saddled with national disapproval ratings that no modern president has seen this early in an administration, but among Alabama conservatives, the president ranks up there with college football, air-conditioning and pork shoulder.

“Inside a Republican primary, the only person who may potentially be more popular is Nick Saban,” said Clay Ryan, the chief lobbyist for the University of Alabama system, referring to the all-but-deified head football coach of the Crimson
13173905, Trump has brilliantly destroyed facts and statistics

None of his followers care. His administration labeling everything fake news or media bias has rendered any of that stuff moot.

13174213, YUP. they point to the polls which predicted a Hillary win.
Posted by double negative, Mon Jul-17-17 12:26 PM
either stating;

1. how can we trust polls if the polls were wrong about predicting Hillar's win?

2. how can we trust polls with such a small sample size (sample sizes are normally about 2500 which is supposed to be enough people to capture relevant and statistically significant numbers)

3. the people who run polls are liberals and liberals are lying liars so why should we trust anything these lying ass liberals have to say?


at this point I think I have their way of thinking down. Sources have to be crystal clear and kind of dumbed down for them to accept facts
13174218, This would only make me happy if it were November 2018.

13174239, his approval rating in the "swing" districts that gave him the election
Posted by rob, Mon Jul-17-17 12:47 PM
is still about 50%. and we know people don't have to "approve" of trump to vote republican. hell, republicans apparently don't even have to approve of trump to vote for him.
13174250, Right. Folks are not going to vote Dem just because they don't like Trump
Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Mon Jul-17-17 12:52 PM
At worst they'll stay home. But most likely they'll support whoever the non-Dem candidate is
