Re: Is it Time for a Balanced Budget Amendment for the Federal Government and All Sta
That's all lovely but remember something. Shortly after Hillary Clinton left her position as Secretary of State her approval rating was also astronomically high. Into the 60s I believe which is incredibly good for a well known national politician. Thanks however to bull**** partisan attacks and investigations that rating plummitted, and despite leading Trump by double digits within two weeks of election day a last second witch hunt did her in because the American people are idiots. Bernie is already the presumptive challenger to Trump in 2020. You can expect Republicans to do everything in their power to soil is reputation as we get closer to that date. In fact they've already launched investigations into Sanders wife.
In a Real Clear Politics average of six polls taken from May 6 to June 5, 2016 Sanders beat Trump by 49.7 to 39.3 percent.

Since the general election Sanders' popularity has risen, while Trump's has declined.
