Gallup: Trump is at a low and getting lower

On the other hand, NBC put this out:

President Donald Trump's job approval rating in the American counties that fueled his 2016 victory stands at 50 percent, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll of these "Trump counties."

Fifty percent of adults in these counties — consisting of Republicans, Democrats and independents — approve of the president's job performance (including 29 percent who strongly approve), while 46 percent disapprove (including 35 percent who do so strongly).

By comparison, last month's national NBC/WSJ poll had Trump's overall approval rating at 40 percent.

Whether this poll is bogus or not is unknown at this time. They will release the full poll results at a later date.

Patience. The entire mob is going down for conspiracy to commit collision and obstruction of justice...at the very least.

The current tactic is to blame the secret service for not properly babysitting Jr.

Not a single member of the Trump mob farts without Papa Trump knowing about it. Yes. He's going down, too.

And, of course, that's where it should be. What idiot would want to give wealth to uneducated, unemployed losers?

Does the conduct need to be criminal in order to be reprehensible? Assuming, and the assumption may be wrong, but assuming Trump through his campaign sought interference by the Russian government on
his behalf in the campaign, and it was not unlawful for him to have done so, is that the end of it? Is there no such thing in your estimation as moral wrong absent violation of a criminal statute?

As for the approval rating at 36 percent, Nixon's approval rating at the time he resigned was 24 percent. Trump has just 12 more points to fall before he's in the same comfy place.

And lying to the parents of 4 dead Benghazi heroes is reprehensible, but the lying loony leftist liberals still wanted her to be president, and if I don't miss my guess they're still borderline suicidal because she didn't make it. Please don't preach to us about morality.

It looks like the latest revelations about Trump campaign collusion with the Russians is having an effect as Trumps approval numbers are going downwards.

Poll: Trump's six-month approval rating hits historic low - POLITICO

There is no good news for Trump from Gallup.



I am rather surprised the approval number of 36% is as high as it is. I guess Trump was right that he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue in NYC and still his base would love him. But one cannot govern effectively with only a third of America behind you.

And with 2/3 of Americans now convinced the Russians and Trump campaign official colluded - the issue of his legitimacy comes front and center.

Lets see more polling on this from other groups.

Understand, but today on CNN they referenced a new poll that showed 52% of all Americans thought the Democratic Party was just the anti-Trump Party while 37% thought the Democratic Party stood for something. Being anti-Trump all the time may in the long run hurt the Democratic Party more than any low approval rating for Trump. When over half of all Americans think the Democratic Party is nothing more than an anti-Trump Party, they could be in trouble.

On the day it fell, the USSR had the second largest economy in the world. In other words size don't mean s**t.

President Trumps energy policies are destroying the current Russian economy. Calling him "Putin's Puppet" is starting to sound really silly.

Do you have the slightest idea as to why the established professional polling organizations do the sampling of opinion the way that they do?

Right now, being the anti-Trump party is a very good thing in and of itself. For next years elections they will have to me more with a program - and I have little doubt they will do just that.

Results that may be a slight downtick, but statistically consistent with all major polls.

So, rejecting it is a akin to sticking your head in the sand.

The idea that approximately 40% approve and 60% disapprove has been consistent over the past couple of months. On one hand, you can't be a leader when 60% don't think you know what you are doing.....

on the other hand, no matter how much controversy Trump* gets himself into or how little he has actually accomplished, the 40% base is constant.

Fortunately for Trumpty Dumpties, Trump* can retain the White House as long as the approval rating stays in the mid to upper 30's. It falls below that level, however, the Republicans will throw him overboard to preserve the brand and chances in 2018.

It may be wearing thin. The number one advantage the Democrats have for next years midterm is one, each Donald Trump. The second big advantage is the majority of Americans being against the AHCA. If the Republicans fail to pass the AHCA for whatever reason and more and more folks tire of the Democrats anti Trump rhetoric. Who knows. All the anti-Trump rhetoric may become old hat and as time goes by get ignored. It's hard to say at this time, but I would sit up and notice that only 37% of all Americans think the Democratic Party stands for something of substance.

Braking it down by Party. 61% of Democrats think their party stands for something, 27% just stands against Trump
12% of Republicans think the Democratic Party stands for something, 82% just stands against Trump
32% of Independents think the Democratic Party stands for something, 55% just stands against Trump

To take back the House next year, the Democrats will need to win the majority of independents. They may think Trump is an obnoxious galoot, but will independents vote for Democratic congressional candidates if they think they stand for nothing except being anti-Trump? Especially if they get tired of all the anti-Trump rhetoric 24/7 from the Democrats.

An interesting tidbit in this poll you've linked is the majority of people believe the Democratic Party doesn't stand for anything other than opposition to Trump.

Seems like a winning strategy the Dems are following.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/poll-finds-trump-standing-weakened-since-springtime/2017/07/15/2decf03a-68d2-11e7-9928-22d00a47778f_story.html?utm_term=.2cbaaa141c36

Whatever Trump’s struggles, the poll shows clear risks of Democrats’ opposition to Trump. Some 37 percent say the party currently stands for something, while 52 percent say it mainly stands against Trump. Even among Democrats, over one-quarter say their party primarily stands in opposition to Trump rather than for their own agenda.​

But in theory it worked for Republicans didn't it?

I mean Republicans were entirely, 100% based on nothing mor ethan opposition to Obama.

How do I know this?

Well... They spend 8 long years, wailing and crying and gnashing their teeth over Obamacare, finally came to power and they actually didn't have a clue how to replace Obamacare because their opposition was nothing more than opposition to Obama and nothing else.

So with that, and how the right loves to tout how many seats it won nationwide during the Obama years, is it not in theory a winning strategy to simply oppose Trump?
