Remember when everyone was saying in November it was impossible for Trump to win because his approval numbers were at record and historical lows. Or when the Republican field consolidated, his ceiling was 20 percent?

You guys don't stop crying... we just had the election, he won. You have to wait 4 years and we'll see. Geez. There are no presidential elections for years. It's going to be a very long wait.

All that the news organizations do is report what they see, and they are seeing what so many of us are, a fumbling fool who has no qualifications whatsoever to run this country, and a man with his own agendas to line his and his buddies pockets.

No, HR, there is no mass conspiracy to get him out of there, regardless of what your leader is feeding you all. Donald J. Trump is his own worst enemy and does not even have the common sense or brains to realize it. He pulls some bonehead trick, and then doubles down on it by keeping up the same ridiculous behavior.

THAT is why Trump's ratings are in the toilet and why they will continue to plummet.



Corporate news organizations have their own agenda and are largely irrelevant in the age of the Internet.


As for the poll, it is the lowest of all the polls on RCP's average of polls.


In other words, it's cherry-picked.


It also surveys all adults whether they are registered to vote, have voted in recent elections or even have the legal right to vote.


It's a meaningless popularity contest.


It's also a meaningless popularity contest that is contradicted by the two other polls on the list that survey all adults.


Those two other polls both show Trump with a 45% approval rating.


The polls that measure registered voters, people we know have the legal right to vote, show Trump's approval rating ranging from 41% to 47% and averaging 43.7%.


The only poll on the list that surveys likely voters gives Trump a 48% approval rating.




You may now return to your leftist circle-jerk.

Well for the whole election year, the democrats said Trump never paid taxes. They also said he will never get to 270, and when he did, they said the electors will deny him the presidency. So... who knows? I tell you, as a Trump supporter.... I am thoroughly enjoying ever day.

The memory just popped into my head about turkeys being so stupid that they may open their beaks and turn their heads upward during a rainstorm and drown.

And do you realize that the two other polls on the RCP average of polls that survey all adults (Reuters/Ipsos, CNN/ORC) show Trumps approval rating among all adults to be 45%?


Rasmussen has him plummeting all the way down to 48%.

In 2009, Obama's approval rating dropped 1.1% in the same time period.


That's twice as much as Trump's.


Obama would go on to spend five of his eight years in negative territory.

He tweets about anything negative about him and accuses it as fake news. Our president is a joke and a baby and embarrasses our country. 4 more years of him will be the death of us as the world leader.

You pathetic little bed-wetters took the biggest beat in American history!

You pansies lost the White House -- President Trump is YOUR president.

You sniveling little crybabies lost the House. It's GOP now and will not change.

You penniless dependent little sh|tballs lost the Senate. You have to defend 23 seats to the GOP's 8 in 2018, many of those in states TRUMP WON!

And best of all -- you impoverished uneducated little weaklings lost the Supreme Court for at least 25 years as your president, Donald J. Trump, spends the next 8 years stacking it to the rafters with conservatives.

Bill Clinton's unaccomplished, disgusting, sex pervert wife will never be president and there's nothing you ghetto rats can do about it.

So what was Obama's excuse when he lost twice as much support as Trump at the beginning of his administration ( -1.1 Obama vs. -0.6% Trump)?

We know it wasn't the fawning dinosaur media because they were face-down in his lap for the full eight years.
