Wow, look at this graph of Trumps approval since the shutdown began


Well, look at all that winning! ....






* Note- I believe the Parscale tweet was from Trumps campaign manager Brad Parscale saying Trumps ratings were rising and the Dems had made a huge mistake in the shutdown battle

Those should be "trending"!



"trump U" sounds like a really disparaging epithet. Untrump America.

Now after the shutdown and the news trumps working for putin as his puppet , people are running away i huge numbers, and gop Congressional members soon will be to . They know whats coming and will not let him use this much longer dragging them down with him taking away any chances they might have left. They didn't remember what happened to them from the Mid Terms. I bet they'll regret this when 2020 election gets here.

Right at the shutdown, according to this graph, Trump was about -9.2. To put that into context, assuming that there are only 2 groups, 'Approve' and 'Disapprove', and that their respective percentages both sum to 100%, that would have him at 45.4% approve and 54.6% disapprove.

Now the difference is something like -13.6%, which would divide out to 43.2% approve and 56.8% disapprove.

There's no doubt that the shutdown is, among the sane, not popular, but it's not like the Trump's polling just careened over a cliff, as this graph would seem to portray.

A net 4.4% drop is huge in just one month.

If he drops another 4.4% over the next month, it will be disastrous for Trump and the GOP - say 41% vs 59%. And, remember, the polls are being skewed by overly positive Rasmussen

Shutdown. They must be almost all people who disapprove of him.

It is so hard to imagine how the day will play out when solid proof comes out that trump colluded and obstructed justice.

For two years now, a horrible thing would happen, and we would talk about it for a couple days, then all back to normal.

Just can't see that pattern changing. We just have to hope the Republicans will ditch him I guess.
