We just had a poll put his approval at 40%….
Now we have another poll dropping his approval at 36%…..
Something IS going on here…
The inverse is the DISapproval number is 62%…..
The life persever of the Economy seems to be slipping away from him…
And?
Donald Trump spends EVERYDAY trying to hurt his approval because he doesn’t have any concept of what he’s doing, except flying by the sit of his pants with a whole country strapped to his back….
Now it’s 14 months out from the November elections….
Things change…
But right now?
Donald Trump seems to be running things in a hole….
The majority of Americans in a new poll disapproves of President Trump’s overall performance, despite greater support for the president’s handling of the economy than other issues in the survey.
Sixty-two percent of Americans said they disapprove of the job Trump is doing, while just 36 percent approve, according to the Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll released Thursday.
While low compared to former President Obama, Trump’s latest approval rating is relatively consistent with the polling results seen throughout his first term. Trump’s approval rating has stayed between 32 and 42 percent throughout his time in office, the AP noted.Amid fears of a recession, which Trump and administration officials have dismissed, 46 percent of Americans now approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, based on the poll.
Approval for Trump’s handling of the economy is strongest among Republicans, at 84 percent, but even 16 percent of Democrats support his economic policy. By contrast, just 5 percent of Democrats support the president’s overall performance.
Trump’s approval in other policy-specific areas is much lower, pollsters found. Thirty-six percent of Americans approve of Trump’s foreign policy and gun policy, 37 percent approve of his health care policy and just 38 percent approve of his immigration policy….
I’ve been saying all the cheery bull shit about the economy is just THAT….Bull Shit…
Mr. Trump’s most loyal backers are maintaining a rosy outlook on the economy. Among Republicans who strongly approve of the president, 68 percent said that both their own finances and the broader economy were doing well. But among Republicans who are more lukewarm about Mr. Trump, only 36 percent said the same. And among independents, whose views could be critical to Mr. Trump’s re-election chances, only 16 percent said they felt good about both their own finances and the economy.
Asked about their biggest economic worries, Democrats identified income inequality, while Republicans cited taxes and government spending. As for their personal finances, Democrats were more concerned than Republicans with immediate problems like low wages and high housing costs; Republicans were more focused on longer-run issues like saving for retirement….

Meanwhile the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee is selling t-shirts promoting Trunp’s stupid idea to buy Greenland.
If Trump said horseshit was delicious those dopes would run to the bearest barn with a fork!
Scott?
Why NOT compound stupidity and pay for it…
Joe Walsh, the former firebrand Tea Partier and present Radio host ,who went from Trump supporter to fierce critic ,announced his candidacy to oppose Trump in Republican primaries today.
This will go nowhere ,of course ,but it will get him tons of free publicity as he will be all over cable news for a few months.
This is exciting!
“Be Brave.” That’s his slogan and Joe Walsh is certainly being that because some people will be coming after him with everything they have. Clearly ,there is some fear that his message is one that should not get out.
Anybody who dislikes Trump should consider donating some money so that the message can get out. Democrats can certainly be free to think this will help them in the long-run too.

This announcement comes exactly one year after the passing of Senator John McCain who would want to remind us that it is always important to join a cause greater one than one’s self interest and that America is “worth the fighting for.”
The Trump campaign had a one word response to Walsh’s candidacy..
“Whatever,”
We all know that Trump will be Tweeting about him in the middle of the night in no time.
True THAT CG…
I was referring to NO ‘serious’ Trump challenge ….
Walsh was briefly my congressman when lived in Illinois.
If Trump has a serious challenge for the nomination, it won’t come from Walsh.
Nobody is going to punch him in the face (rhetorically) harder though. Nobody is going to unhinge him more.
Take this for what it is. Send Joe Walsh money. Isn’t that something in the Democrats’ best interests?
Of course not, Democrats have much better things to do with their money than to fund a far-right wing candidate. It is comments like that which explain why I often don’t take you seriously. Is there any scenario that you would donate $ to Warren or Sanders? And if you say yes, then I don’t believe you.
Maybe you don’t have the money to spare. That’s fine. You should focus on your own well-being first. I suppose I am assuming you have already voted to the Democrat of your choice running for President.
No, I would not send money to Warren or Sanders but let me explain why. I think they are the worst possible for the country Democrats that might possibly be nominated. Same with Trump on the Republican side.
If the chief opponent/antagonizer of Warren/Sanders was someone far worse and far more dangerous to the country, I might be inclined to send them money so that they could best continue their campaign of antagonism. However, that is not the case. I’d thus be more likely to send Joe Biden money. He’s going to be fairly well-funded though unlike the other Joe.
already donated*
Walsh is a joke. I’m glad he’s beating up Trump but he’s still a joke.
Every little bit helps….
A little bit….
I was hoping his slogan would be “Everybody’s so different, I haven’t changed”
A Walsh post will be forthcoming…..
