MONMOUTH: Trump down to 32% approval

haymarket said:
A new poll from Monmouth gives more bad news for Trump as only 32% of the nation approves of the job he is doing and a clear majority - 56% - say they disapprove of his job performance. What is even more amazing is that only 24% of women - that is one in four - approves of Trump and that is down a full 12 points since just September.

Given that women make up a greater percentage of the voting population than men, this has to be disastrous news for Trump and his party with the mid term elections less than a year away and coming off the results in Virginia and Alabama. Even in places where the GOP has been able to win special elections this year, the erosion of support has been staggering from 2016 levels.

Several other polls show a lopsided preference for a generic Dem over a generic Republican in Congress. One has it at 50 to 35, another at 51 to 36. That is 15 points and a huge number.

And the answer to get GOP numbers in the positive seems to be
1- tax cuts for the rich and corporations
2- GOP House members screaming about an FBI employee who has been removed from his position in an attempt to et Trump to fire Mueller and stop the bleeding

Great strategy. :doh:roll::shock:

Trump has been below 40% on his job approval since September according to RCP averages, he currently is at 37.3%. With lows of 33% to highs of 41% which average out according to RCP to its 37.3%

Even independents don't like Trump which in my opinion is the important group. Not Republicans or Democrats. Trump has but a 36% approval rating among indies with 46% disapproving. The rest are in the not sure or undecided column. Independents approve of Trump's job on the economy 39-38%, Education 42-40%, Gun control 36-33%, Terrorism 40-36%, Veterans Issues 38-32%. Those are the positive issues independents view Trump on, all others, Trump is in the negative.

Even though independents agree with Trump on some issues, there are more issues they disagree with him on. But like the issues where Trump is seen positive by independents, the issues he is seen negative is also fairly close percentage wise with not sure or undecided number being high. It's his persona, his character where indies most have a problem with him. Only 28% of independents view Trump's persona as positive while 45% view his character in a negative light. They don't like Trump personally, issues aside. Independents gave Obama a 60% positive rating on his persona/character and G.W. Bush had a 54% positive. Way above Trump's 28%.

No, unfortunately believing what you just said is one of many handicaps that you keep revealing.

But nice try either way.

So now you are the referee that decides if a person loves their country or not. That you would make a post like this reveals tons about you and nothing about anyone else.

Hint....... Trump's approval rating has little to do with your happiness.

Not true. As his approval ratings go down - my happiness increases directly.

If posting here did not make me happy - I would find a different distraction. Do you post here to make yourself miserable? I would hope not.

No, my interactions with you in the past here on DP are what has been that deciding factor. That is what is revealing, but nice try though.

The deciding factor in what exactly?
 
Oborosen said:
That you're nearly the exact opposite of your own statement would be a judgment that suffices for the time being.

In what specific way? Are you still questioning my statement that I love this nation and its people?

Wow, just look at that wild, downward trajectory.
 
The media and the rat party have been banging their hate drum pretty consistently. That is the only message that is being heard so its no real surprise the approval rating is down. Meanwhile...the economy still continues to grow, the GDP is growing higher, unemployment in Latino communities is at all time lows, investments are up, they are close to passing a tax reform bill that many bitch about but few have actually read, they are working on ending the mandate on that piece of **** ACA which is killing so many American families, they are trying to fix the ACA...a massive piece of **** forced on America by the rat party, built on lies, and something the rats never have tried to fix, immigration has been pretty much improving though in the last month it took a bit of a hit (because job growth is massively up). The administration successfully managed 4 natural disasters.

But the same bitter angry hate filled little ****s are and will continue to be the same bitter angry hate filled little ****s...regardless. So...carry on I reckon.
