Huh? That's why its the RCP average of polls. It takes those polls biased against Dems, those biased against Republicans, and those that are more middle of the road.

However, when peeps in Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan start losing thousands of jobs due to the new tariffs, maybe they will wake up and see the light.
The people of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan wanted the tariffs and voted for President Trump precisely because he said he'd impose them. Whether they work or not, they want someone who is fighting for them instead of wholly selling out to big business as far too many Democrats and Republicans have done in the past.

So Trump supporters in those states don’t care if they lose their jobs?

They will loose their jobs if we just continue the policies of the last several decades.

Honestly, this is one thing I don't get about some on both the right and left who are criticizing our President's diplomacy, etc. They shout that he's breaking so many "diplomatic norms" and what not. But I say, so what? What have these norms gotten us in the past? President Trump's style is going to get us closer than we've ever gotten to peace on the Korean Peninsula than what all of the so-called "experts" have gotten us.

What has Trump actually done though ???? I have yet to see anyone other than Trump's own team say he actually did anything that caused North Korea to finally come to the table. The North and South have been talking for 3 years, so its probably more South Korea than Trump.

As for Tariffs and so on, Trade policy affects jobs that are directly linked to trade. Not really that hard to understand.

Well, the South Korean president all but said so when he stated that POTUS deserves significant credit and even Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts on this issue: https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/27/polit...rea/index.html and https://www.reuters.com/article/us-n...-idUSKBN1I10OD. The word of the South Korean President mean a whole lot more to me than the attacks coming from detractors like Nancy Pelosi and John McCain on this issue.

But we've had the pressure campaign, which was greatly intensified by POTUS; increased sanctions; and an increased willingness to talk.

Obama failed to convince Kim that America was strong.
Trump made Kim believe the military option was for real.
Peace via strength.

Pretty much. It took a different kind of leadership and pressure. I note that the South Korean president didn't say that President Obama deserved another Nobel Peace Prize for his "work."
