I suspect his disapproval rating has soared past 60% now that the Flynn resignation news is spreading.

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.

Miller needs to stay in the background. That guy is flat weird. Reminds me of that Malfoy character from the Harry Potter movies.

Conway is no longer credible and reporters are on to her schtick. "Gotcha" is the game now.

If Spicer had any self-respect, he'd resign.

Hang on to that. It will help you in the coming months.

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.

Approval ratings really don't mean much. If you aren't providing any decent alternatives for voters, I honestly don't see why all these polls are being brought forth. Congress had an abysmal rating in 2016, it had a GOP dominated majority, the majority grew even with that abysmal disapproval rating. Ratings aren't everything.

FWIW, Reagan also had a high disapproval rating in 1984 and went on to win the White House. Dems need to be focused on bringing forth good candidates that can re-invigorate liberals instead of focusing on ratings and polls of Trump and friends IMO.

Just like he was energizing the base to vote against him during the election?

Not another CNN link. CNN is owned by Time Warner who donated almost $1 million to try to get Clinton elected, thus CNN had little choice in the matter when it came to stretching the truth and now continuing with the sour grapes and acting like the election isn't over.

Gallup is liberal leaning to the point of falling over. Here, they speak of Clinton's clear edge which, apparently, did her no good against Trump: Clinton Holds Clear Edge on Having Presidential Qualities | Gallup and looking at around at Gallup, it appears they have problems.

As many of us remember, polling predicted a clear win for the morally, mentally and physically incompetent Hillary Clinton - how did that work for y'all?

Sadly, the liberals continuing to worship the polls that please them and without the understanding that polls say what the pollsters want them to say to please the ones paying for them, will always be on the wrong track.

This is all great since the more delusional they become the longer it will be, if ever, before a Democratic darkens the doorway of the White House!

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..."

Talking "Comment" from tRump's new Education Chief on his 40% approval rating

<lol>

“I was so excited to see the President’s approval rating hit forty,” DeVos, the Secretary of Education, told reporters. “Just knowing that well more than half the country is with him gives us a great sense of confidence moving forward.”

DeVos Says Trump

Just proves that smarts aren't a prerequisite for being born wealthy or holding high office in a GOP admin.

</lol>

I "report". You decide.
