    Faster then I thought it would happen , they are turning on him after realizing he is all con ., Expect in the coming weeks and months to go even lower, the Republicans in the house and senate will run the other way from him to save their own worthless hides


    *president Trump is losing support among key elements of his voting base—white, male Republicans—according to the latest Quinnipiac University approval poll. Thirty-seven percent of Americans approve of the job the commander-in-chief has done since taking office, the poll found. Only 43 percent of men approve of the job, compared to 49 percent in a March 7 poll. Republicans still approve across the board with 81 percent, but lower than the 91 percent registered two weeks ago on March 7. Only 44 percent of overall white voters approve—down from 49 percent in the previous poll—and a total of 60 percent of white women now disapprove.

    You know you're getting the full story when the entire write up is four sentences, no polling data, just four sentences of Libby hopes and dreams ;)

    I saw this week where the democratic base is eroding. Thing is about trump's base is the establishment GOP voter, white, as most are white probably didn't vote for him anyways. The reason GOP number were up in the primaries was not because of establishment GOP voters.

    A recent survey of beer swilling redneck farmers and businessmen in middle America showed there's still support for Trump out there. I wouldn't write him off yet he could surprise us.

    I really enjoy that you're almost as sarcastic as I am. It's a rare gift.

    eroding faster than Obama's wiretapping denial?

    Just one of many


    Grieving father: 'I don't play Trump songs anymore'

    Last year, Kraig Moss sold the equipment for his construction business in upstate New York and stopped making mortgage payments so he could follow Donald Trump on the campaign trail.

    The amateur country crooner sang pro-Trump ditties while strumming a guitar emblazoned with Trump campaign stickers, earning him the moniker "Trump Troubadour."
    International media dubbed him "the voice of unheard America."
    But now, Moss refuses to play the guitar with the Trump decorations. He's soured on the President because of the newly proposed Republican health care bill.
    That legislation, which the president supports, could result in dramatic cuts in addiction treatment services.
    Three years ago, Moss found his son, Rob, dead in his bed from a heroin overdose. He was 24.
    "The bill is an absolute betrayal of what Trump represented on the campaign trail," he said. "I feel betrayed."

    Do you mean the one that Obama never even commented on and the FBI denied?

    The erosion is about to become a collapse once these investigations do their job....not even the healthcare fiasco will compare.

    I have sat and wondered how dense you would have to be to be hit day after day with more and more evidence that the so-called president is a pure huckster, a con-man, and an empty celebrity before it would sink in.
    Apparently, facts CAN penetrate some very thick skulls.
    I welcome these people back to the real world.
    I do understand that many of the statements Trump made SOUNDED good - but he never gave plans of HOW? I mean, who doesn't want more jobs? Who doesn't want ISIS crushed? But to hear "I know more about ISIS than the generals do, believe me" - um, NO, I DON'T believe you.

    I would say that normal Democrats are leaving the party in droves and leaving it to radicals whom no one likes. Wishful thinking on your part. Americans are NOT stupid.The more the Liberals try to sabotage Trump and the more people learn about Obama's role in it, the more people rally behind the president who is being smeared at every turn in the hopes of bringing him down after he was elected fairly by the people. We have been patient long enough and given Libs enough time to get a grip on reality, but they continue their downward spiral into insanity. Libs should get some help to become happier and more productive people. They obviously have too much time on their hands. Perhaps a 9 to 5 job would help.Their behavior is just nauseating and embarrassing to watch. Give it a rest...

    Keep dreaming and understand the lefties biggest fear is that Donald Trump will be successful and follow through with his campaign promises.

    It's not Trump's base that is eroding. His base or core supporters has always been around 35% of the total electorate. Trump got to 46% of the total vote by adding the anti Clinton voters to his base of support. Remember 25% of all Americans disliked both candidates, so that group ended up holding their nose and voting for the lesser or two evils or whom they considered the least horrible candidate. It's not that they supported Trump or Clinton for that matter. They detested both. It was this group that voted 20% for third party candidates refusing to make a choice between Clinton and Trump.

    Look at independents, the non-affiliated group. Election day they went for Trump 46-42 with 12% voting third party. Today they approve of Trump 35% disapprove 44%, not sure 21% or haven't made up their mind yet. This is where Trump is losing support, not among his base. His base, all 100% of them are still with him. It is among those who detested both candidates and out of them that smaller group who ended up voting for him that Trump is losing. They were never pro-Trump, just considered him the least horrible, the lesser evil. Trump has dropped 11 points in this group from 46 to 35.

    But keep in mind, they didn't like him to begin with, they may have voted for him in a plurality, but they didn't like him on November 8th and they still don't care for him today.

    Isn't that just wishful thinking on your part or do you have a credible source to back it up?

    You are now the 3rd poster to make that same allegation without any shred of substantiation.
