Trump's Support Is Falling Among Republicans

Trump’s Support Is Falling Among Republicans

A new Economist/YouGov poll finds 83% of Republican-leaning Americans approve of President Trump, down from 92% in January.

Interestingly, a majority of Americans think Trump knew some (27%) or a lot (44%) about the sex crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein against underage girls before investigations into Epstein began; only 8% say he knew nothing about them.

2. I'll believe it when I see unqualified rejection of Trump and his policies.

Right now, most of the Trumpanzees who are going public with their brain-dead musings are just spewing the talking points: "I don't agree with the 'blah-blah-blah' (whatever it is they have roused their puny brains to be outraged about), but I still support him because he's doing good things for the country". Until the profligate wastes of contaminated human protoplasm can just come right out and say they were wrong, and that Trump is a nightmarish shitstain on the ass of the U.S., any 'Trump is losing support among Republicans' pretend-to-think-piece is just a waste of bandwidth.

3. Instead of drowning government in a bathtub, Trump/Republicans have turned government into--Niagara Falls!

They're flooding the country with governmental overreach, like no one has ever seen before. Choke on that Ayn Rand!

4. Nah. They'll all come home in the end and vote for whoever he tells them to vote for.

MAGA has been injected into the veins of the R Party. Its in their DNA now.
