Who gives a ****? No one that doesn't want to bash....I believe that even Reagan's numbers weren't all that good in his first 6months....

That 2nd map is evidence of his demise. No President in the last 70 years has had such a poor approval rating.
Trump has lowest six-month approval rating of any U.S. president in 70 years.

I love it when people who can't take criticism of their new god cry about biased journalism. Like it has ever not been.

The current polls aren't about two opposition candidates. They are about one candidate only ... Donald J. Trump

His approval numbers are falling in virtually every demographic, even among Republicans.

Doesn't matter, Trump's support could drop down to 25% and I he could still hold on to the presidency because lack of support for Trump does not equate to support for the Dems. The DNC and Dems have MASSIVE restructuring of its message and procedures and it hasn't even started on them yet. They are already late to the game for 2018 elections and if they stay the course, they will be irrelevant in 2020 as well.

Hold on now. I agree the Dems need to work on their message but one can't predict they won't get their act together before 2018. I fear your reality is based solely on your wishful thinking.

One phenomenon I'm seeing recently is the GOP's overt support for Sessions against Trump. It's that kind of courage that might seriously spell trouble for the Dems. GOP politicians showing a backbone. If they continue their support of Trump for fear of getting beat up by his rabid base, that can only help the Dems.

Republicans have awoken a sleeping giant. They're not going to forget to vote in 2018.

Woman's march, the day after Trump was inaugurated. This was going on in every state not just Washington D.C. They were in the millions. For more pictures to this link.

There has never been a President elect that had to barricade himself inside the Trump tower, and his method of communication was reduced to a Twitter account.

When I see a poll, I want to see the numbers. Unfortunately, Gallup doesn't provide their numbers. While I won't say this is a bogus poll, neither will I accept their results at face value.

Rejected.

Hmm... does that buyer's remorse change the fact that Trump is still POTUS for this term? Do you think that these disappointed folks are now suddenly going to "feel the Bern", decide to join the (Hillary/Obama?) resist, resist, resist movement or to vote for some state/local demorat to attempt to "undo" that past republicant POTUS vote?

You are right that the whole country can have buyer's remorse and he'll still be president -- but, Republicans in Congress can feel safe challenging him and not going along with his lunacy. We saw it today as entrenched Republican leaders publically opposed Trump's transgender ban.

shrug...

I don't look at polls in an ideological point of view.

They are numbers. That's all. However, we have seen most polls in the last year having the numbers manipulated to show a desired result. The ones that present their numbers show conclusively that the numbers were manipulated. Gallup...well, they won't reveal their numbers. That means they cannot be trusted.

Now...you've shown you'll ignore my words and make up your own. Fine. Have at it. If, however, you actually could dispute my position honestly, you would have some facts...instead of your own ideological spin. Your choice.

Actually, they DON'T feel safe.

Oh sure, they'll echo the left whenever they get a chance but the reality is they are walking a fine line trying to convince their...and Trump's...base that they actually DO support Trump's agenda, while doing all they can to oppose it. That's why you see all that rhetoric about Obamacare. Only the useful idiots believe them.

This is not surprising. So far two words describe his presidency - the GREAT DIVIDER. The country is divided. The parties are divided. The media is divided. Even his own party is divided.

Blasting his own cabinet members publicly is totally divisive. He can't work with Congress or the Senate. We've never had this much division in our country, for as long as I can remember.

I must have been absent that day in left-wing technique school, since I didn't know of that technique.

What I read was TheGoverness using sarcasm -- using #45's own speaking style, as a means of ridicule -- for a president that deserves ridicule. The reality is that Trump doesn't know what fake news is. To him, fake news is any news that isn't congratulatory, bestowing admiration or confirming his narrow narrative. Of course, real news is often critical of elected officials -- especially when there is plenty of idiotic and abnormal behavior to criticize. So, Trump labels accurate reporting as "fake news" because he content, although truthful, doesn't stroke his gluttonous ego.

What makes them "phony," the fact that they don't show him in a favorable light? The fact that some people believe in data, facts and evidence to draw conclusions is a virtue. Those, such as yourself, who believes only what you want to believe and dismiss anything and everything contrary to the conclusions that you already formed, is your problem -- not ours.

Another reality is that even in red states, such as Texas, Trump's standing is low. As the chart from Rogue Valley's post, above, barely over six months in, Trump has negative support in most states that were critical to his win.

It does matter... or *could* matter... because support that low would probably spill over into the 2018 mid-terms.

Agree with point re the Dems. They're still a mess.
