He has worked on issues important to his base, namely illegal immigration, tax cuts, trade agreements and appointing conservative judges.
In return, many supporters seem content to look the other way in regard to his astonishing personal and ethical shortcomings. They love his authoritarian political approach.
Agreed, and we have to realize that Trump's way of "working on issues" is to toss something at the wall to see if it will stick, or more importantly whether it will serve as raw meat to salivate his base. There is no strategy or end goal to this "work" other than his desire to see the next group of brainwashed devotees cheering him at one of his rallies. The Trump phenomena is nothing more than old fashioned populist fascism, dressed in 2019 clothing.
This is perhaps the stupidest poll I have seen so far. Seriously, who CARES what the average American *thinks* he may have done? We have no idea what he has done, so what is the purpose of polling people on what they think he may have done?
There is no sensible reason to have this poll, and it is yet another example of why the media is so untrustworthy and corrupt.
Because past behaviors are an indication of future behaviors. And thug is a thug is a thug.
While MSNBC REPORTED the poll outcome, it did not conduct the poll.
I don’t understand people who take calls from strangers and disclose opinions, political affiliation, age and sometimes a whole lot more, let alone do so honestly.
I don't either, but some parents of first half baby boomers are still around and think, if you are home and otherwise unoccupied, that it is wrong to not answer the phone and act politely (as long as the person isn't trying to get them to buy something). There is one in my family, and she is a strong person. She's a wealthy, well educated woman who has traveled all over the world, she's just spent so much time around people with the same values, that she is the way she is in that way, IMO, reflexively. We baby boomers (her kids, nieces, and nephews) have tried to get her to look at caller ID and not pick up unless she recognizes the number...but to no avail.
1,120 respondents, with party breakdown as follows:
R - 24%
D - 31%
I - 37%
Don't know - 8%
Given that Gallup polling since 1991 shows that among those who initially identify as Independent, 18% (2017) will say they lean Democrat, and 15% will say they lean Republican. This corrects the break down a follows:
So without knowing a single other thing, we know the polling sample population skews Democrat by at least 8 points.
We also know that the vast majority of Americans get their news and information from TV, and that by vast majority of outlets, airtime, and volume of spoken/printed words and images projected on the screen, TV media skews wildly Democrat.
If I was throwing an educated guess as to the straight R vs D sampling percentage, assuming I had researched and corrected for all the various biases, it would be 37% thinking/leaning Republican and 63% thinking/leaning Democrat, with a +/-6% margin of error.
And his numbers are actually about right where they should be given that sample set of 1,120 people and te various polling errors/biases that are part of any Trump poll.
Did the poll ask the question if those that believed he had committed crimes whether Trump ought to remain as President? The hardcore 25% of his base could not care less whether Trump is a crook or not. It's the same sort of fascination the public had with Al Capone, who was very popular with the "common man".

Exactly! You have to be high to think Trump really cares about anything more than himself. All you have to do is look at his words. "The greatest of all time" like who says s*** like this, but egomaniacs?
People who are insecure.
