This new poll has all kinds of bad news for Donald Trump

[Arkansas Granny]

As honeymoons go, Donald Trump’s wasn’t much to write home about. He was voted in as the most unpopular president-elect in modern history and got slightly less unpopular in the weeks that followed, as the goodwill flowed. Even then, though, he clearly remained the most unpopular president-elect in modern history. Again, that was the honeymoon.

And now it’s over.

------

Quinnipiac is the first high-quality pollster to poll on Trump twice since the election. And while its poll in late November showed his favorable rating rising from 34 percent to 44 percent, that number has dropped back to 37 percent, which is about where it stood for much of the campaign. That’s tied for Trump’s worst favorable rating in a poll since his election. And a majority — 51 percent — now have an unfavorable view of him.

Likewise, the Quinnipiac poll shows a drop in confidence in Trump across the board. Although 59 percent were optimistic about the next four years under Trump in November, today that number is 52 percent. While 41 percent thought he would be a better leader than President Obama, it’s now 34 percent. While 52 percent thought he would help the nation's economy, it’s now 47 percent. While 40 percent thought his policies would help their personal financial situation, it’s now 27 percent. While 53 percent thought he’d take the country in the right direction, it’s now 45 percent.

I don't expect things will get any better as his fans realize just what they voted into office.

1. And polls showed Hillary would win in an electoral landslide

Which she should have, along with winning the popular vote. Trump will discount the "stupid" polls, members of congress will be watching though.

2. Funny how things change when the Russians aren't mucking things up for their golden boy.

Actually not funny at all, just tragic.

3. I'm beginning to take polls with a pinch of salt.

5. I think you're on the right track.

4. Don't forget about the Russian hacking

This 37% is Trump's true number without Putin's secret sauce thrown in.

6. Just the beginning, I believe, of the buyer's remorse to come.

I still truly wonder about some who actually thought voting for Trump was a "christian" thing to do. One of them got so out of line with political incorrectness he lost his contract extension at my work. I don't give the idiot credit yet to even realize his fault.
But give it time. Certainly it has just begun to soak some thick skulls how wrong a decision they made.

7. Sober now, Trump voters have brief flashes of their new reality.

How long before the pitchforks and torches are hauled out?

8. Michel Moore's prophetic statement on election night.

Quote: “Trump is their (the angry voter’s) human Molotov cocktail that they just get to throw into the system today and blow it up…
only to find out a month or two from now how regretful they’re going to be because he’s not only going to blow up the system, he has no idea how to rebuild it.”

9. Many of them voted for DT out of spite. They had no idea what he was running on, they just

knew his name.
