Ever since he started his run for President, Trump has been a polarizing figure. Lots of people like him, lots of people hate him, some were likely undecided. But now that he's been in office a few months, has anyone changed there minds (or made up their minds)? Would anything you've seen since the election change how you voted?

no. if there were solid proof that he did in fact break the law, then I would be supportive of removing him. but only if that proof was very solid.


I can say this. the day he nominated Niel Gorsuch to the supreme court, he satisfied all of my top 10 requirements. That by itself settles my mind on voting for him over Hillary.


The very idea of Hillary nominating someone to Scalia's post scared me to death. There is no question that such an act would be the death of the first and second amendments.


That would have turned America into a Progressive State with no hope for the future. period.


That alone. All by itself ... is reason enough to have voted for whomever ran on the republican side.

I think it's clear that his base is still strong and will never waiver. And clearly you will hear from many of them in this thread. I sure would like to hear from those who voted for him but were not part of his base, the reluctant voter who decided he was the better of two bad options but never completely sold.I suspect most of them won't chamge either seeing as Hillary was still the other option.

No. This Presidency is every bit as disastrous as I expected it to be.

We got exactly what I expected. Hopefully, in 2020 we and the various political parties can do better. Just remember, those insistent on placing dynasty candidates as their party's candidate gave us this. Clinton needs no explanation. Job Bush sucked up all the dollar resources and destroyed the couple of candidates who had a chance early on, while everyone was treating Trump as a joke. This was followed by the media propping up the candidate they thought Hillary could beat with over a billion in free media time. Bet they won't do that again.

I voted "no" because I didn't vote for Trump and still wouldn't based on what I've seen.

agreed. This poll is going to be seriously skewed due to that.
