tRump's polling numbers are flagging, even at RW Rasmussen

Trump’s Favorite Poll Shows His Approval Rating Plunging To Lowest Point Of The Year

According to Rasmussen Reports, just 43 percent of likely voters approve of the overall job the president is doing, compared to a whopping 56 percent that disapprove.

Trump’s daily briefings are failing miserably
Donald Trump’s sagging approval ratings are a clear indication that his daily look-at-me-I’m-pretending-to-work news briefings are failing miserably.

In fact, it seems that the more the public sees and listens to this man on television, the less confident they are in his ability to competently manage a global health emergency. - PoliticusUSA

Can only hope the trend continues. I think as long as we have free and fair elections he’s toast. But I do wonder about how the elections will be run.

I am amazed at how slow America is to get something and I mean something very important.

Even after all of the obvious negative effects we are seeing from the WH, managing numbers like that is very curious. I mean, when you get hit by a hammer in the head, you wouldn't poll good about it as your head aches and pounds.

Idealistically, (I tend to be an idealist on weekends) we should be seeing his numbers drop to the numbers of his most loyal followers, devotees, whatever, which my gut tells me is more like 30% or less.

I know, daydreaming here.

pompous boasting. He has such a repulsive personality. Only the most devoted cult members could stick with him.

Trump's poll numbers. However, the stimulus money is just starting to show up, my prediction is that Trump's numbers will be up by the end of this coming week.

That they know that this is just a band-aid to help ease a bleeding head wound. They will take it, but they won't be so grateful that he will gain their loyalty.

And imagine Mitch's response! He vowed that Obama would be a 1-term president and then have the orange bastard be one instead.
