They are pushing the Gallop Poll this morning which shows a 42% approval rating for trump, up from

[still_one]

38%.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-30/trump-approval-rises-to-42-highest-gallup-reading-in-11-months

That is the headline number they are using, but the fact is that over 50% disapprove of the SOB.

What is particularly concerning is that 40% of the populace approve of the job that the racist, sexist, bigot in the WH, and that is a disgrace

1. redumbliCONs and deplorables are idiots and will never change.

November 2018 will not be an easy win.

[Matthew28]

2. This is

why it is going to be very hard to get back the house or senate....

Enough of our country is really stupid.

[still_one]

3. Agreed, but it is far from a lost cause as the special elections have demonstrated

[NCTraveler]

4. Fear.

5. Agree, a dangerous disgrace.

[beachbum bob]

6. accept the fact that 40% hate america...and why we must take it back in November

[still_one]

7. Agreed Bob

8. This number has hovered around the same with error for over a year.

It's a bit high because of the polling methods that don't capture some demographics, but about a third of the US are Archie Bunkers - I have them in my family (the ones who live in SC).

It's not the majority...and actually is about the same as it's been since tRump started running.

[WePurrsevere]

18. This is why I refuse to worry over most polls...

Gallop's margin of error is normally around 3%+/- and, while better than Rasmussen, it's not by a lot.

Sadly there will always be a section of this country that are Archie Bunker types. (Now there's a show of like to see a major channel remake and modernise with Rob Reiner as in charge as the director. )

9. Americans are uneducated

Today is Law Day and I am preparing to give a presentation at a local high school. The topic is separation of powers. I read that a recent survey found that only 26 percent of Americans can name the three branches of government under our Constitution.

How do we have any chance with such an uninformed electorate?

[FakeNoose]

11. Once you've given your lecture today

... your students will know more about our governmental structure than their own President does.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Impress on them that Elections Have Consequences & not voting is voting against yourself. . . nt

[videohead5]

10. Wait until

Next weeks poll to see if it holds.my bet is it goes back under 40%.

[William Seger]

12. That 40% are simply hardcore reactionary; they define themselves by what they're against

... which broadly is anything and anyone labeled liberal by the right-wing propaganda machine, including RINOs, and most certainly any Democrat. It doesn't matter how much of a turd Trump is; he's on their side of the culture war, so they will vote for him, because... Democrats. And the people who actually make most of Trump's decisions and those who oversee the departments are generally doing fine for the Republican donor class, so they're cool, too.

Forget about trying to convince them otherwise: We can and must outnumber them at the polls.

[Va Lefty]

13. It is indeed depressing that so many support the moronic buffoon

[progressoid]

14. He's lowered the standard so far that just NOT fucking up for a day is seen as a good thing.

[lastlib]

16. They must've taken the poll in the White House.........

'Disgrace" is the weakest term for it. I am truly beyond words to describe the support for this traitorous authoritarian fascist.

"FUCK TRUMP, and fuck YOU for voting for him" is my best response to them.

[Doodley]

17. I fear that Trump's approval is on the rise. He is going to milk North Korea forevermore.

[lunasun]

19. The talk of Nobel Peace Price legitimizes his other actions to many Americans and an excuse for

them to approve his deplorable ways
