If his numbers fell into the 20's it would be almost impossible to take it seriously. It's already pretty hard to take seriously as it is. Once you get out of the concrete jungles, the majority of people in this country not only support Trump, but are both enthusiastic about him and find him refreshing. The media comes out of those concrete jungles. Nothing more, nothing less.
Literally half this country doesn't take anything the MSM does seriously anymore including polling/thread.
This last election opened up some eyes, but when Trump gets reelected with a 30% approval rating while being down 10+ points in the election polls, the MSM is going to put a nail in their own coffin. That blunder will shape opinions for the next century.
SUPPORT FOR DONALD TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT IS NOW HIGHER THAN HIS APPROVAL RATING
Virtually every single poll tracking President Donald Trump's approval rating showed the figure plummeting Monday morning, well below the margin of error compared to the rising level of support for impeachment. The results follow Trump's controversial decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord; the ongoing investigation into his campaign’s possible ties to the Kremlin is also a factor. Support For Donald Trump's Impeachment Is Now Higher Than His Approval Rating
And, there is this thing about how he is more popular regarding impeachment than he is for approval. What a mess!
"There are slight discrepancies between several leading polls as to where the president’s approval officially stands, though each tracking poll published Monday and over the weekend seemed to show a decline in popularity following Trump's decision on the Paris Agreement. Even right-leaning poll sites like Rasmussen Reports are indicating dips in support for the president's job performance, reporting that as of Monday, 54 percent of the nation disapproves of Trump’s tenure as commander in chief.

Maybe YOU aren't taking it seriously but I can assure you my friend that the Republicans in Congress are taking it very seriously indeed. Every sitting President sees his party take a beating at the mid-terms, and those with approval ratings less that 50% REALLY get hammered.
You sound just like Trump; constantly harping on his election win because he has nothing else he can claim to have done. There is a lot more to being president than just winning the election. So Trump supporter, since you think Trump is such a great guy, list everything Trump has accomplished in his time as president. What, you can't think of anything? Hence the reason for his 36% approval rating.
As someone who voted for HRC, and someone who was completely caught off guard, I find it ironic that Trump supporters seem to be burying their heads in the sand every time a new poll comes out and ignoring every embarrassing moment the president has. It's ironic because it's a similar mix of ignorance/arrogance that lead to HRC's loss in the election last fall. The Dems believed that Obama's high approval ratings and Trump's polarizing rhetoric was the perfect mix for an easy HRC win. As a result, she all but ignored many of the regions of the country (specifically in MI and WI) that Obama won in '12 because she thought they were in the bag. She got too comfortable and she got arrogant and she lost- in large part because a handful of counties in a handful of states didn't go the way she assumed they would.
Trump supporters are doing the same thing now. You see people here brushing off any/all polls about the president because some of the polls last fall were wrong. You see people anecdotally claiming that "the majority of Americans support the president and find him refreshing" because that's what they want to believe.
As someone who despises and is embarrassed by the current president, I say good. Continue to believe that. Because the reality is that he's no longer candidate Trump. Hillary Clinton is long longer his opposition. He can't get by on rhetoric and Clinton bashing anymore no matter how much both of those things appeal to his base. He can't continue to get by by blaming the "fake mainstream media" for every hiccup he faces. His core may buy it, but the voters in the middle, the ones who Clinton thought she had locked up and who ended up putting Trump over the top don't care about that anymore.
It's time to put his money where his mouth is and deliver. And he's not doing that. Worse, he's constantly hurting himself. For all the griping about the MSM hysterics re: the travel ban, if he had a shred of constitutional knowledge, he'd know not to make it about Muslims (which is what he did all throughout his campaign). By doing so, it became a question of whether or not it's a 1st amendment violation and is now being held up in the courts. That was avoidable. While he cries fowl over his treatment in the MSM re: Russia, he constantly digs his hole deeper by contradicting the people who go out and defend him. To the point where people literally won't defend him anymore. He's alienating the people he needs to be his allies. That's never a recipe for success.
Trump thinks he's a one man wrecking crew and can do it all himself. He can't. Thankfully that's the way democracy works. Otherwise we'd have a dictator. The current president can't work within the parameters of the job and that's apparent in astonishing fashion on a seemingly weekly basis.
So Trump supports can keep laughing at the polls, deflecting blame to the media and the non-compliant left. But he needs to actually accomplish some things in order to retain the support he had back in November and he literally needs all of it to have any shot at winning again. The people on the fence who leaned Trump in November to put him over the top won't do it again if he doesn't make any progress. Because even if the MSM and the left are fighting him, he's still the president and he has a republican controlled congress. There's nobody else to blame but him if the circus continues.
Sooner or later, the American people are going to reach the breaking point with Trump's vacuous tweets, chaos administration, bizarre behavior and blatant incompetence. Only a matter of time before Trump's numbers fall not only to Carteresque levels, but below.
When Trump's more rationale supporters wake up expect his poll numbers to drop below 25% approval.
Finding a rational Trump supporter is like seeing a unicorn. I'm not just talking about those who engage in all sorts of bigotry or nationalism, but also those who, while may not be big on either of those concepts, still stubbornly cling to this idea that Trump is a strong leader who will restore the economy for rural America. It's like he's their last shot or something, so they don't want to give up on him. It's not rational. There is no rational reason to support him, and there never really was.
Impeachment is favored - higher than his approvals. No matter what his die-hard supporters here think, the real world thinks he is a loser. "The president's approval rating dipped from nearly 42 percent to just 36 percent over the weekend, according to a Gallup daily tracking poll published Monday. Trump's declining popularity is inching closer toward his all-time low of 35 percent as president in March, when Gallup had the president’s approval at just 35 percent. What's more, nearly 43 percent of American voters support the idea of beginning the official impeachment process for Trump, according to a Politico/Morning Consult poll published Wednesday."
You're very confused. The Nazis, quite literally, are Trump and his supporters.
Sweet, hopefully Trump will send us supporters some bad azz uniforms to wear! The Nazis always had the best looking uniforms, a skewed view on some things, but the unis were always solid.
He's lost the "wait-and-see" group and the middle grounders have moved away from him. He shoots himself in the foot every day. At this point all that's left are the ridiculous-right, crypto-KKK/Nazi folks, cult worshipers, and the opportunistic appointees and fake news media types hoping to make a buck or a name for themselves. The poor saps are concocting conspiracy theories to keep the gullible fools out in Trumpville America in line.
We saw polls similar to this before the Republicans and Trump trounced the Dems last November. Trump and the Republicans have to follow through on jobs and safety and they'll be reelected, if they don't they won't....simple as that.
Ahhh but some are claiming Trump and supporters are the new counter culture -- by definition that puts y'all in the minority.
