The bottom's dropping out on Trump's approvals

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

New polling is out and Donald Trump will be shocked to learn that gassing and violently beating peaceful protesters exercising their First Amendment wasn't as popular as Attorney General Bill Barr likely told him it would be.

Trump's approval plummeted fully seven points since last month in the new CNN/SSRS poll conducted June 2-5, entirely in the aftermath of Trump's disastrous photo op last Monday. Just 38% of Americans approve of the way he's handling his job, while 57% disapprove—a nearly 20-point gap. As CNN notes, Trump is resting comfortably right alongside where Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush at this point in their reelection bids. Keep on keeping on, Trump.

He is also running 14 points behind presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, 41%-55%. Both data points are significant, with Trump hitting his lowest point yet in CNN's head-to-head, while Biden notched his highest point in the poll to date. Ya love to see it.

Once more, support for the peaceful protests against police brutality in the wake of the murder of George Floyd is soaring, with 84% of Americans saying the protests are justified. That's a nearly 20-point jump from the fall of 2016, when 67% said they felt such demonstrations were justified.

3. Glorious numbers, for sure.............

BUT we must be sure NOT to become complacent and ASSume that it's all over and done.
You should remember what happened the last time, right?
I have faith that BunkerBoy will continue to add fuel to the fire as well as somehow create some instance where he'll be able to be front and center with TV cameras rolling. The good thing is, he usually falls a point or two every time he does that!

Keep the faith - keep up the fight - and by all means, GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!

4. Yes, that 38% is so depressing

and perplexing. Sometimes I wonder if it’s really that many? But I do sit here will well educated neighbors (both are lawyers) and I can see their TV through my dining room window. It’s Fox News ALL the time. I did have dinner with them when we first moved in. It took about 15 minutes before the republican, right wing comments started to emerge. It doesn’t take long for you to figure it out. They just can’t control themselves. Decided then and there, we were not going to have another dinner together.
Fox News is a huge part of this problem. But, I also think it’s been hammered into them, that if you have money, you better vote republican. Their “stingy” character shows itself pretty quickly.
