President Trump on Monday rejected a proposal from a top legislative ally to reopen the government, even as a raft of polling suggested he is losing the battle for public opinion with Democrats over his demand for a border wall.
Trump’s dismissal of the plan to end the partial shutdown offered by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) signals the White House believes it can pressure Democrats into a compromise. But Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), buoyed by the polls, has shown no sign of budging.
Trump’s polls sag amid wall fight
Trumpy numbers down; Nancy's numbers up.
All that winning must be getting old. :lamo
What are the D's poll numbers doing?
Let's at least make minimal efforts to correctly understand the situation, MKay?
Do you bother to look at links before sounding off about them. The OP’s link reports a clear drop in Trump’s recent poll numbers. Even Rasmussen has him down from the giddy near 50’s he had been in for months. In two new polls he’s at 37 percent. His average at fivethirtyeight.com, which incorporates Rasmussen, is below 41 percent for the first time in months while his average disapproval rate is over 54 percent, all of this since the shutdown.
Wouldn't it be something if Trump said, "Hey, I've listened to the people and will adjust my agenda to be more in line with what the public wants."
That's what a real President would do. Not this cheap imitator.
Well...he does believe that feeding guests Big Macs is classy.
I noticed that the very long piece so you would think it at least scratches the surface does not tell me what the D numbers are doing.....they could be dropping even worse than Trumps. Yes I know I can check but my point is that both this thread and the piece that it was launched with are of shabby quality......it is like writing 1000 words saying that the Rams are getting worse without bothering to care about how the Saints are doing....who would do that and why would they do that?
The midterms provide a clue as to “what the D numbers are doing”, as do current polls showing many more Americans blame Republicans for the shutdown than blame Democrats.

I think the last president that did that was Bill Clinton after the 1994 midterms. Bill adjusted, listened. His average approval rating over his last six years was 60% compared to 44% over his first two years when he only pushed the Democratic Party's agenda. Neither Bush Jr. nor Obama ever listened to the American people and both pushed their party's agenda. Bush averaged 49% and Obama 48% over their presidency. Even with only averaging 44% over Bill Clinton's first two years, Bill finished with a 56% total average for his two terms as president.
That's why Bill was one of the best presidents in the last 100 years. He was president of the people, not some partisan hack throwing red meat to the most stupid people in his base--i.e. Trump.
