TRUMP'S NET APPROVAL RATINGS -- THEY'RE NOT GOOD



Nationwide, 43 percent of respondents approved of Trump in September, according to Morning Consult, while 52 percent disapproved of him. 

In January, he had 49 percent approval compared to 39 percent disapproval. 

Trump's net approval — which is the percent who approve subtracting the percent who disapprove — has fallen by a total of 19 points within nine months.









Take heart, America! There isn't one state -- NOT ONE -- where his net approval approaches 50%.

The highest net approval rate for Lord Dampnut is in Wyoming with a paltry 40%

The lowest net approval rate is in Hawaii at -14%

My state, Massachusetts, has his net approval at -4%

Go here and enjoy seeing how his support has fallen since he was elected, and see how even the reds in the red, red states don't much like him anymore either.

The trumpnuts are convinced that he's going to serve a full 2 terms. I'm tentatively hopeful that Trump will hold the office for less than a full term. It all depends on the reaction of Congressional Republicans to Mueller's findings. I'm quite sure that Mueller will present a STRONG case of misdeeds and illegalities by Trump and team. If that leads to impeachment and removal from office is another matter (even IF the case is VERY clear that he should be removed).

Trump is a liar. He has no integrity. His moral character lies somewhere between non existent and evil's handmaster. He is mentally unstable, dangerously close to psychotic. Unfit to serve in any capacity. But, has he in rack committed crimes that rise to the level of impeachment? Mueller and his team are responsible for making that case and making it so ironclad Trump gets his just deserts.

Glad to see he's finally uniting us. Against him. Love the quote from Bruce Bartlett.

Great news from Booman Tribune:

Trump has a lower approval number in Michigan (a state he won by 10,000 votes) than he does in Colorado (which he lost by 136,000).

He’s polling worse in Arizona (+91,000) than he is in Pennsylvania (-44,000).

The results in Iowa, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Virginia are all about the same, despite the wide variance in the results in those states last November. Iowa is the outlier here, since Trump won the state decisively.

While he’s still net positive, he’s below 50% approval in Missouri, Montana, Indiana, Nebraska, Georgia and Florida.

His five best states are Wyoming, West Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, in that order.

The six states with the closest approval/disapproval numbers are Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and Georgia. It’s hard to see much distinction between them, but he’s near parity in the three formerly Confederate states. He’s barely negative in North Carolina and barely positive in Georgia and Florida.

There’s nothing too surprising in the results, but if I were Trump I would be concerned about why Iowa doesn’t look better, and also about the prospect that Arizona might be slipping into the blue camp. Other than that, I’d worry that Georgia could be headed to true toss-up territory since it looks just like Florida. And Florida is so close that an influx of a hundred thousand justifiably angry Puerto Rican refugees might tip the balance to the Democrats. Finally, he needs to take a close look at Michigan and Wisconsin because they are seeing a little more slippage than Ohio or Pennsylvania.

These numbers are all from September which was, on the whole, a decent month for Trump that saw some uptick in many of his poll results. That’s why I’m less interested in the absolute numbers than in how the states compare to each other and differ from what we’d anticipate considering the election results. While I’ve identified a few states where Trump’s approval looks lower (relative to other states) than I’d expect, what I didn’t find were places where his approval is inexplicably higher. I guess the closest I can come to that is South Carolina, where he’s doing better than he is in Kansas and Nebraska. I have no real explanation for that, but it might help explain why Lindsey Graham went golfing with Trump yesterday.

Trump: "America is a nation of believers."

And we believe you are a horrible monster. You've put millions and million of Americans at risk for their health care just so you could undo the work of the man you are most jealous of. A real man. A man of dignity, intelligence, humanity, honesty. None of those attributes could ever be said of you. Donald Trump is exactly what his Secretary of state said he is: a "f***ing moron!"

Remember, these ratings are before people start losing their health insurance and find out his tax bill isn't what they expected.

Nuclear escalation in the Middle East is just a bonus.
