Trump needs to clean house or his ratings are going lower. Conway, Bannon and Miller should be banished immediately. They are doing him no favors at all and are more destructive than helpful. Spicer may leave on his own since he's pretty much being treated like crap and is in a no-win position.
Jared is probably the sanest person there and I really don't think he can be officially hired due to the nepostism rule, plus he really has no WH experience.
If he can't do it because he's BFFs with them--then he has real leadership issues and more crises coming down the pike.
Trump cannot dump Bannon since Bannon is the "brains" behind getting the orange oaf elected. He likely has so much dirt on Trump that he can easily bury him. AND even if Trump made a show of getting rid of Bannon, he will still be pulling strings from behind the scenes anyway.
That is not comparable--Reagan had already been in office 3 years.
His initial approval ratings were decent and went higher. Trump's have steadily gone in the opposite direction--down.
"..Reagan came into office on a fairly high note, with initial job approval ratings as high as 60% by mid-March 1981..."
Ratings usually matter right before an election. Reagan's was about 35% before the 1984 election and he still won. As stated, Dems need to focus on Dems.
And FWIW I don't like Trump or the GOP of today. IMO the Dems are not taking advantage of the fact that Trump doesn't know what he's doing. Democrats need to get some good candidates in areas that can be contested for the 2018 mid-term election instead of focusing on Trump disapproval ratings. Get some good candidates. Continuous focus on him (Trump) takes the focus off of whatever candidate you are trying to get elected.
Trump is the best thing to happen to the Democrats in decades. He has energized the base like nothing I've seen in my lifetime.
That's a strange perspective. You seem to falsely equate an overly entitled and destabilizing "energizing" with rightful political balance in a multicultural nation after a valid election.
Remember, you people just had eight extraordinary years for your policies, and you share the nation with just as many people who disagree with you. Not letting them have their guy have a realtively peaceful term or two in the WH, after such an election, is a sociopolitically dangerous gambit.
Nothing will be good for the democrats if the nation fractures in two.
Lat, don't confuse "energizing", at least in comparison with the Right, with unbalanced media coverage, professionally organized and funded protests, and millionaires with microphones needing something to do with their lives.
Think back to how the pre-election rallies were attended. That's your real story for how the nation is actually feeling. Over-confidence in your perception of the nation, as it did in the election, might lead to a worse result.

Don't wander near any microwaves with all of that tinfoil on your head.

Not a Trump supporter; but totally agree with you.
Now this is the FAKE News we have all been waiting for. The poll in question has been torn to shreds and shown to be a sham since published. Some people will believe pretty much anything.
