Sometimes a President - regardless of which party - will do something that is both necessary and unpopular. And there are times that a President is either wildly popular or unpopular for reasons completely outside his control.

That said, Trump certainly does not do himself any favors regarding favorability.

This is a lie.

No matter how many times you tell it, it is still a lie.

Shrug. actually 2018 is coming up, and these poll numbers reflect the job the GOP is doing. At tht point Trump will not get much accomplished at all. 2020? Who knows. But I seriously doubt Trump will get the independent votes he needs. Having just his supporters vote for him is a guaranteed loss.

Quinnipiac - what, is that like some place in Canada, or something? Why do they care about what happens here?

p.s. not serious.


On a serious note, these figures don't look good. Nor have they for a while now.

Allowing the Russian media at an earlier event while banning the America media is proof of that.

Doubt you will be celebrating two months from now (or less). The investigation will continue despite the complication. What will sustain you then?
Not everyone votes. At least 1/3 of those don't vote, which makes what they think irrelevant as they have no influence in politics.

You deserve what you get.
Show us, specifically, what words in the AHCA bill would prohibit denying coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, charging more for the elderly, taking money away from Medicaid. And please back up your claim with numbers showing the CBO made a mistake in the calculations and how everyone is going to be not only covered but at cheaper rates. Go ahead I'll wait right here.
