The other bad news for Trump on Monday: New approval-rating lows

[JackA]

The political support argument doesn't help you because you're still left with a Congressional approval of 12.6%, and not even the most optimistic of us thinks Trump's approval will ever drop below the twenties.

That's the approval rate for Congress as a whole. Individual approval rates are different and typically much higher. I think the point is that Trump is in dangerous territory with an approval rate in the mid thirties. Your point that
he pretty much stopped his slide in May is well taken, but the slide he experienced between election day and then should not be overlooked.

It would take a good deal of work to get the approval rating of every Congressional Republican, but Republican voters are consistently holding Congressional Republicans more accountable than Trump.

As for the initial slide in Trump's approval, there was always uncertainty as to what kind of President Trump would actually be. By May, Americans felt comfortable that they had their answer.

Trump's approval is also holding steady at an average of 40% among registered or likely voters, which in itself still doesn't sound good for Trump, but it brings us to Chapter Three of our ongoing series, "Cardinal Is Harshing Everybody's Mellow": the majority of voters, which really are incidentally left-leaning, are not geographically distributed where they'll do the most good. This means that their majority is effectively nullified and every registered Democrat that stays home on election day in non-blue-fortress states is a further guarantee that Republicans will win in 2018 and 2020.

Did you catch Obamas final approval numbers? Never did they drop to anything as low as Trumpster's thought his entire presidency.

As election results since 2010 have shown; Take the RCP average add 10% to 15% to Republicans & their policies, subtract 10% to 15% from Democrats & their policies and you will have a more accurate poll number than what is generally advertised.

President Trump is taking over the GOP today the way Reagan did in the early 80's. The difference is The President is also draining The Swamp, which not only includes establishment politicians and bureaucrats but also the MSM who conduct these fake polls.

Have you been out of the solar system for the past 9 months? There is no draining of the swamp going on.

The Establishment losing power is draining the swamp:

The last election itself was the establishment politicians losing power.

Trump repealing all of Obama executive orders and regulations is the establishment losing power.

Reducing the power of Bureaucracies like the EPA is the establishment losing power.

Old career politicians saying they will not run for reelection because of Trump is the establishment losing power.

Shall I go on?

The swamp is being drained because he wants to bring his own alligators in.

No.

The protest voters wanted one of two things: jobs or the destruction of the system that hurt/forgot them. If they're not getting the former, then they're certainly achieving plan b. The White Nationalists have now come out of the shadows so they're certainly not going to abandon Trump. They're thrilled. And the people who voted for him because he's not Clinton? Well, it's been 285 days since inauguration and so far I'd say that plan has been successful.

I guess we'll see.

Trump is actually putting alligators in charge of draining the swamp.

That's not going to end well for the swamp-draining suckers.
