The only thing holding Trump up is the stock market, if you consider a 35% approval rating held up.

The stock market is priced for perfection. What happens to it when we roll him on his billionaire tax cut like we did on health care ?

20+ favor of dem in women voters
almost as much in Fairfax, Arlington, Church Falls among college educated whites. what that actually MEANs is not that they were upset about the closing of non-existant sanctuary cities in Virginia. It means they are mad as hell at Trumps attacks on federal hiring, wages, benefits and retiree pensions. This is the hub of federal institutions from HHS, DoD, IRS, and a zillion subcontractors.
