During the past several months we track Donald Trump’s approval and disapproval average here at PDog on our front page….
We get those numbers from Real Clear Politics….
They get their numbers from several polls
Well, today we a bit of a stunner
After the terrible week that Donald Trump has had?
His approval number has dropped in the ABC/Wash post poll by more than 5% points
THAT IS unusual…
Remember?
Midterm election are just 2 months away and Republicans are being forever by THEIR party voters to support him….
If there are other polls that show Trump beginning a free fall in approval before the midterm elections?

Further, 53 percent of respondents said they think Trump tried to interfere in Mueller’s investigation in a way that “amounts to obstruction of justice,” while 35 percent said he did not try to interfere….
