I KNOW I sound by a broken record….
But?
Things Trump touches tend to turn to SHIT….
Republicans who may think that Trump as President will help them?
Might want to think AGAIN….
The guy seems destined to go out dragging the house down …
The polling below points to man who has LOST the support of MOST Americans in his effort to rip the heart out of the American Government and go as FAR as he had in immigration round ups and migrant exports….
Anmd he ain’t bound to STOP….
Voters believe President Trump is overreaching with his aggressive efforts to expand executive power, and they have deep doubts about some of the signature pieces of his agenda, a New York Times/Siena College poll found.
The turbulent early months of Mr. Trump’s administration are seen as “chaotic” and “scary” by majorities of voters — even many who approve of the job he is doing. Voters do not view him as understanding the problems in their daily lives and have soured on his leadership as he approaches his 100th day in office.

Mr. Trump’s approval rating sits at 42 percent. His standing is historically low for a president this early in a term, but it is in line with his stubborn unpopularity, which did not prevent him from sweeping the battleground states in last year’s election.
Now, however, voters express dimming confidence about Mr. Trump’s handling of some of the top issues that propelled him back to the White House, including the economy and immigration, even as most Americans support deportations. Only 43 percent said they approved of how he has managed the economy this term, a serious erosion on an issue long seen as a strength.
The president’s pursuit of widespread tariffs — which has caused stock-market drops and gyrations — was opposed by 55 percent of voters, including 63 percent of independents.
Taken together, the survey’s findings show that any second-term honeymoon for Mr. Trump is over. His approval rating among crucial independent voters is now at a woeful 29 percent.
Voters said he had “gone too far” on issue after issue — his tariffs, his immigration enforcement, his cuts to the federal work force. Broad numbers of independent voters sided with Democrats in believing that he had overreached.
Overall, a 54 percent majority said that Mr. Trump was “exceeding the powers available to him,” including 16 percent of Republicans and 62 percent of independent voters…..
…
Voters do not seem to believe Mr. Trump empathizes with their struggles. After spending much of last year promising to immediately lower prices, he and his allies have urged patience and tried to brace the country for short-term economic pain.
Only 44 percent of voters — including a meager 31 percent of independents — said that he “understands the problems facing people like you.”…
…
Broad majorities said they would prefer to place limits on exactly the kinds of powers that Mr. Trump has tried to exercise:
-
61 percent of voters, including 33 percent of Republicans, said a president should not be able to impose tariffs without authorization from Congress.
-
54 percent, including 26 percent of Republicans, said a president should not be able to eliminate programs enacted by Congress.
-
63 percent, including 40 percent of Republicans, said a president should not be able to deport legal immigrants who have protested Israel.
-
73 percent of voters, including 56 percent of Republicans, said a president should not be able to send American citizens to prison in El Salvador, as Mr. Trump has threatened to do.
-
And as Mr. Trump’s administration has veered toward open defiance of court orders, a sky-high 76 percent of voters, and 61 percent of Republicans, said a president should not be able to ignore the Supreme Court.
Trump rode Immigration to his recent victory…
