Trump has an Amazing following of Rock Solid Supporters and he does not need high Poll ratings..


Trump's meager approval rating not as a standalone public measure of his performance, but rather as a chunk of rock-solid support that he brings to the Republican Party. All of a sudden, it's not that his approval rating is only 37 percent — it's that tens of millions of Americans — a full 37 percent of the country! — are lining up behind him.


Why President Trump's abysmal popularity rating won't hurt him

Poll: Majority of Utahns now view Trump favorably | The Salt Lake Tribune

Granted it is Utah, but his approval ratings are going up it seems like it conservative states.

Who really cares about what the nation thinks. It only matters what Texas, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin think.

His approval ratings will likely go down in liberal states but who cares, the election is decided in a dozen or so states and those are the only ones that count.

It is good that so much Republican leadership such as the house speaker and vice-president is from the Middle-of the country.

As a human being, I'd just have a hard time voting for somebody that the KKK felt was the best presidential candidate in nearly 50 years.

Trump's campaign had such an angry, hateful vibe to it. His calling Mexicans rapists and murderers and strong anti-muslim speak on the campaign trail is what won over many racist Americans.

To be brutally honest, as a liberal, I give Trump credit for the way he catered to his supporters. He fed many angry, hateful Americans exactly what they wanted to hear to earn their votes. Very smart of him to get those votes.

You can support anything you want, but that doesn't mean that you're going to get the results you want.

The people who voted for him did not exactly hold the popular views.

His rating won't hurt him because he is the President. Who cares about ratings and polls now?

I know he is not the ideal man for the job but the alternative we had with Hillary? YIKES!

Everyday I see the Hate this man inspires streaming from the Liberal Left the party of inclusion and diversity.
I see it in my so called friends postings that are critical of everything Trump thinks. One of these people posts her rant then adds FUDT.

Today I drove by a sign that a guy made for the election and still has on his property.
It is about 4x8 and reads "Trump" . This sign has been vandalized several times with paint and mud (at least I hope it was mud) and it was always fixed by the owner. This time someone took the time to stop, get out of their car and paint a not so nice word that starts with a capital "F" on it. How would you like to explain to your child what that word is?


The mere 37% of Trump supporters see this type of negativity and hatred as confirmation that Trump is right, that we as a country need to change.
What many in the GOP don't care to admit is if Trump hadn't won there wouldn't be a Republican party in the future.
They would more than likely be lining up to vote on amnesty and giving the millions of future Democrats a vote.

Like it or not Trump is our guy for the next 4 years so either get in line to help improve things or get out of the way.

Wow--if an urbanite made a statement like that, they would be called 'liberal elites'. So--who cares what the people in the rustbelt or flyover country think? All that matters is the urban areas that fuel the economic and jobs engine of the country.

And, actually, plenty in Florida thinks he's a dolt.

As far as OH, MI, PA and WI? If he doesn't come through on the massive amount of high-paying promised jobs, he can kiss those people good by as well.

His rock solid cult who adore his personality are not enough to keep him afloat.

It's so entertaining to see tRump's followers turning themselves inside out in their vain attempts to convince themselves that "he ain't REALLY as bad as he's seemin' to be."

I report. You decide.

Before the 2016 election, Trump had the biggest unfavorable of any candiate ever. Obama also had extremely high approval ratings and was constantly batting for Hillary Clinton. This caused everyone to predict a landslide win for the Democrats


Instead


President: Republican
Senate: Republican
House: Republican
Supreme Court: Conservative (Trump could make up to three picks)
State Legislature: majority Republican
Governorships: 33 of 50 Republican



Dems: worst shape since the 1920s and face an unfavorable 2018 Senate map.


All libs have are polls. Lmao

I don't see how Trump ran a hateful campaign. How is it hateful if he is pointing out the issues?
I can't see why anyone would chose Hillary Clinton? You act as if the democrats have so much friggin passion for refugees when behind her American citizens are being captured and burned alive in cages. Isis is raping girls.
She has been in politics since the stone age and knows well enough that illegal immigration is a problem and for 8 years never did a thing about it. She wanted to issue drivers license to illegals to gain votes.

How is Trump for the KKK? A KKK wouldn't dare try to improve ghettos and try to clean up Detroit.

Don't you know the Clintons are very slick and they have connections who they can pay off for someone to come out and say that the KKK endorse Trump.

And i can't vote for someone who doesn't give s damn about Bengazi.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IF THEY ARE DEAD SYRIAN REFUGEES GETTING BLOWN UP AND WANTING HELP?

If she doesn't give a damn about the family members of police officers, and her own citizens who were killed by illegals why would she give a damn about Refugees.
