Trump's Net Approval IMPLODES in His Favorite Poll -- Down 15 Points in 3 Weeks!



Trump’s Net Approval IMPLODES in His Favorite Poll — Down 15 Points in 3 Weeks
By Tommy Christopher
May 27th, 2020, 12:09 pm


President Donald Trump got more bad polling news, as his net approval cratered in a pair of new surveys — including the one he often cites because it typically shows him faring better than others.

Last week, Trump lashed out at Fox News after their poll showed him losing to former Vice President Joe Biden by eight points, and his net approval dropping by 20 points. But on Wednesday, he got even worse approval news from a pair of national polls.

The Politico/Morning Consult poll had his net approval at a whopping minus 17, with 40 percent approving of the job Trump is doing and 57 percent disapproving. That marked a 7-point drop in that poll since May 8, when his net approval was at minus ten.

But in the Rasmussen daily tracking poll, which Trump and his White House frequently cite because Trump tends to overperform in it, the bloodbath was even bloodier. On May 8, Trump was dead even with 49 percent approval and 49 percent disapproval.

Three weeks later, Trump’s net approval has sunk by fifteen points, with 42 percent approval and 57 percent disapproval.

if trump starts talking about it and the media doesn't notice the collusion they really are studying fish without water

Because of their laziness and cowardice, Trump will lose BIG time.

That's his racist and evil base, they should be forgotten, they cannot be reached, everyone else can be saved.

The 47% strongly disapprove are people who are not likely to be swayed to Trump no matter what, get that to 50% and Joe wins easily.

How many hate-filled bags of excrement are there in the world? After losing 100000 American lives in less than 3 months, and discovering that the impeached traitor may as well have upped those numbers by infusing blankets with the virus and handing them out to the unsuspecting, how can anyone still support that person and his henchmen and their fatally toxic policies?

I can't stand what is happening. Our country is running a ring of concentration camps, people are dying not just from a virus, but because hatred is out of the bottle and for any person with an ounce of hate in their bodies, they release a pound of cruelty. The impeacher traitor's presence has encouraged a segment of our society to threaten all of our lives by the simple act of refusing to wear a mask. It is inconceivable that 40 out of 100 Americans still support the monster who has murdered his own people.

Have no interest in politics, never think about it. Never see or hear the news. When people talk politics, their eyes go blank, they have no conception of what you are talking about. And, don't care to, or their mind will not let them.

Above all else, DON'T stay silent!

Make noise! Make noise to your legislators, in Washington, and your state capitol, too, if possible.
Remember: If they think you don't care, THEY WON'T, EITHER!!!

Join a local Indivisible group! We actually DO stuff. And we don't let up. We are the frontline workers of American activism. Same thing for your local, county, or state Democratic Party. You'll broaden your own reach and exert influence that way! And on the smaller closer-to-home level, you can REALLY exert influence!

Highly recommended!
