This is an WND article so Trump supporters can't call it fake news. WND is typically a very right-leaning news source. Trump's support among independents is down to 29% and among Republicans its down to 74%. You may think that is very high and it is, but it's down 14 points from last month. I think the first crack's in Trump's support among his base are starting to show.
It's like you guys don't even try anymore. You just repost whatever tripe you can dig up from your echo chambers.

I think once that Republican approval rating gets down to about 60% you are going to see a lot more people jumping ship.

As for Trump's die-hard supporters, they will probably stick with him to the end. From many of the posts on this board it seems like those people would rather bring the entire country down than live in a country with racial, gender, and sexual equality that protects its environment.

Its not a wnd poll , its an investors business daily poll, a poll of 904 people!

"The latest IBD/TIPP poll was taken from March 24-30, and includes responses from 904 people across the country, giving it a margin of error of +/-3.3 percentage points. The national sample of adults had 34% Democrats, 30% Republicans and 36% Independents."

Why would trump voters who voted for him be unhappy? I only care about his poll numbers for the electoral college in the states he won, though I believe a few blue states could be red soon too. He is keeping his promises, I would love to see the polls in the rust belt

OLD GOP: open borders and cheap labor, huge deficits,. screw the working class, wars from iraq and all over while infrastructure in america deteriorates, huge debt

TRUMP GOP: Bring back jobs, A wall, deport illegals, stop importing the 3rd world, improve americas infrastructure,put america first in trade deals, cut the trade deficit and cut our national debt

Trump has kept his promises unlike most politicians, he brought issues to the fore very quickly like illegal immigration,the outsourcing of jobs, the loss of manufacturing,mining and steel and solidified support in the midwest and rust belt, and infrastructure will be dealt with soon

U.S. employers added jobs beyond expectations in both January (238,000) and February (235,000)

Trump has wiped 10's of billions off the national debt very quickly

Illegal immigration from Mexico was down 40 per cent in Trump’s first month

Samsung is moving jobs back to the U.S. as a result of Trump’s election investing $300 million in expanding US facilities, Exxon moving jobs back to the U.S. as a result of Trump’s election, saving the Carrier plant in Indiana,Fiat will invest $1 billion in two U.S. factories in Toledo and Detroit, an expansion that will create 2,000 jobs and putting more nails in the coffin for the democrat party in the Midwest

He killed the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal.

Coal mines opened for 10,000's of thousand of new employees

Instituted a federal hiring freeze.

http://www.upi.com/President-Trump-W...7811485361327/

"Border security: Trump signed an executive action directing federal agencies to prepare for "immediate construction" of a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border

Immigration enforcement: The president signed an executive order to strip federal grant money from so-called "sanctuary cities" -- U.S. municipalities that protect undocumented immigrants from federal prosecution. Trump's order also seeks to hire 10,000 additional immigration officers, build more detention centers and prioritize immigrants for deportation."

Trump signed an executive order that bans administration officials from ever lobbying the U.S. on behalf of a foreign government again and imposes a five-year ban on people lobbying the agency they previously worked for.

Very impressive start and I doubt any of the populist and nationalist voters are unhappy, mainstream repubs never liked him in the first place. I bet he is winning more reagan dems all the time

It didn't bother you that Obama wasn't "governing effectively". So, since in your mind Trump isn't "governing effectively", then it shouldn't bother you either. So...sleep welll

What coal mines opened and what employees were hired? Apparently all the of the coal jobs in the country are less than Arbys and that's including administrative staff, sales staff, all of it.

"Although 76,000 might seem like a large number, consider that similar numbers of people are employed by, say, the bowling (69,088) and skiing (75,036) industries. Other dwindling industries, such as travel agencies (99,888 people), employ considerably more. Used-car dealerships provide 138,000 jobs. Theme parks provide nearly 144,000. Carwash employment tops 150,000."

Trump doesnt have to bring back coal like everyone states, Appalachian coal is high quality and essential to steel, coal and steel production are essential to bring back american manufacturing and keep Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia,Indiana, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania red .The electoral votes in the rust belt are essential to win the presidency

There were counties in western Pennsylvania and Ohio and West virginia and across Appalachia and the rust belt that have not voted for a republican since the 1920s that voted for trump. The Democrats just assumed they would win many of these blue wall states, they were wrong.

Where is this high quality coal?

"Causes of death: the explosion of cheap natural gas, the rising costs of new environmental and worker safety regulations, and a simple geological reality—the industry has already mined out the majority of all economically recoverable coal."

Appalachia’s Coal Industry is Collapsing—But the Mountains Aren’t Coming Back - In These Times

There's a lot of reality Trump supporters are ignoring.

Its funny most working Americans support Trump. Change is painful and the Left refuses to change period. The only people who hate Trump is the Left. One has to remember the Left thought the 3rd Term of Obama would be underway by now and the conservative lost!

So the entire West Coast is unemployed? Seattle's unemployment is under 4%.
