There is a Republican President rated at 36% approval/59% disapproval. http://pollingreport.com/djt_job1.htm There is a Republican Congress rated at 19% approval/73% disapproval. http://pollingreport.com/cong_rep.htm What do they plan to do to win the support of Americans? Repeal “ObamaCare”, an action of which 19% of folks approve. http://pollingreport.com/health.htm Replace it, not with “Trump®Care”, that promised “something terrific!” plan that covers “everybody!”, but with a plan so secret that it must not only be kept hidden from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, but even from most Republicans in the Senate. (It also is expected to deprive tens of millions of Americans of coverage.*) * The stinker (17% approval) http://pollingreport.com/health.htm that the unpopular House Republicans passed was celebrated by the unpopular Republican president, but he has since characterized it as “mean!”, throwing the unpopular House Republicans under the bus, thus endearing himself to them all in anticipation of possible impeachment proceedings, even as he already constitutes a hefty pantload for them to carry into their ’18 re-election challenges. What you all just did is really, really MEAN! “Death wish” is the obvious explanation.
If they lose more then 2 seats I would be shocked. Even with those numbers those that actually vote will vote their party and with the gerrymandering most seats are safe. Welcome to the two party system.
At some point, the OP is going to be forced to reconcile these leftist talking point poll fabrications and preconceptions with the fact that his side keeps losing elections. Everywhere. At some point, he will. Or, he'll remain a leftist, and continue to surround himself with parrots and bubbles.
Yes, those are the same polls which gave the election to Hillary. And of course the political party that is actually imploding is the Democratic Party which is being torn asunder by it's liberal progressive socialist wing. An excellent read on the reasons for this is the book "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg.
Harry Truman down at 22% never had a chance at re-election, did he? Your presentation of stats is false even by your own link. Over 2/3rds by your own poll want ObamaCare repeal in part or entirely. The Democratic Congress had a worse approval rating. Congress always has dismal approval ratings - and voters re-elect their OWN member of Congress over 90% of the time.
It is funny reading the same certain Democrats on the forum who started hundreds of threads posting thousands upon thousands of messages sneering and ranting that Trump can't win. Well over a year later - and now with Trump President - they are STILL starting hundreds of threads posting thousands upon thousands of messages sneering and ranting that Trump can't win. At least they all get a lot of "likes" playing to each other. I suppose that's something other than ONLY always losing and always being wrong. It's like a "participant award" given to losers.
The mainstream media is losing the propaganda war at this point. Trump is not losing any support. In fact, Trump is now stronger in Florida than he was on election night. And if the election were to be held again, this time Trump would win New Hampshire. But the real eye opener is why in the world the Democratic Party is hanging the 2018 election on the Russian hoax. That is the REAL death wish question as polling shows that 70% of the public believes that it is a fake story.
Yes - more than 62,000 Americans died from opioid overdose last year and the D's are running around in deranged hysterics about a Russian conspiracy theory. Unbelievable. Trump has appointed Chris Christy to head the federal attack on this tragic problem which killed more Americans in 2016 than the entire Vietnam War.
That's why we need to legalize marijuana. A 2014 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that states that legalized marijuana saw a 25% average decrease in opiate overdoses. Combined with the fact that it is almost impossible to fatally overdose on marijuana and it has an addiction rate of only 9%, it is hard NOT to justify legalization.
The pissy Trump cult is so hysterical about their messiah's Justice Department's appointed Special Counsel, the Republican-led Senate, and the Republican-led House all conducting investigations into Russian collusion in perverting the US democratic process to put Trump in the White House, his obstruction of justice, his galoots' money laundering, etc., etc., etc. that they revert to whining about their "Liberals!" and their "Democrats!" who are just innocent spectators enjoying the marvelous show the GOP is putting on. Funny, funny stuff!
Trump Derangement Syndrome. Putin thanks you for your efforts and appreciates all that the PUI's do for him.
Democrats may as well be the Green Party right now. They have been utterly annihilated at every level and branch of government. They are in no position to post nonsense like this. Congress always has massive disapproval, while YOUR congressman usually has a very high approval. The rest are out for pork barrel spending, your guy is just trying to help kittens and cute children. Trump's disapproval will either rise significantly or drop significantly based on the results of the investigation, and this will happen before 2020. What matters is the midterms.
The practical goal of both parties in congress is to stink less than the other. Of course, a president's popularity/unpopularity impacts the performance of his party in midterm elections. It is the closest thing the American public has to an official referendum regarding him.
If you don't like the figures and/or think the GOP is doing wonderfully these days, good luck with that.
Sorry pal but this song has been played too many times for me to lend any credence to your post and that applies to democrats and republicans as the orchestra.
Since this thread criticizes the Republican far right it is likely to be shut down for some rule that is applied on a selective basis. Don't be too surprised if it is closed, soon.
Keep at it dems. You really have Trump against the ropes. Plus you are totally credible. And your message of tolerance is resonating with the American people.
Majorities are passé. We have been split into factions of special interest groups. It is, therefore, no surprise that popularity numbers look low. NonEstablishment voters - the type that voted for Trump - are very unhappy with Congress. Liberals aren't in power, so they're not happy with Congress. Who's happy with Congress? Misled poll respondents who only like "their guy" and poll accordingly; country club GOPe Republicans who like the obstructionism of Trump - they are a dying breed. And Trump is only going to garner support from the very specific group of people who understand the real enemy here. Some call it 'The Establishment'; some call it the 'Deep State'. Regardless: poll numbers aren't even close to uncovering the truth. They are, for the most part only part of a narrative promulgated by those in the position of media power to spread it.
Hundreds of right wing flame bait threads have been posted on this forum without the slightest objection due to forum enforcement selectivity. There is nothing useful about all that hate and lies.
If you really believe this, why bother mentioning it? Rather than whine about everything they do, why aren't you cheering the GOP on?
