(16,946 posts)what's more meaningful: "favorable rating" or "unfavorable?"
Which carries more power?
How does that number translate into the chance that this slime ball will be gone before I wake up tomorrow?
(really, I know that answer - just wanna' know how much power the "ratings" have on our getting off of the "crazy train! "

(10,721 posts)He's been in the low 30s in other polls. But the bottom line is that about 35% of the voting population is terminally ill.

(3,212 posts)I think the ones who support Trump have an unevolved since of morality. Their morality is not built on fairness, empathy or the golden rule. They don't have the same internal morality progressives and others have. Their morality is completely hierarchical and tribalistic and usually patriachical. What the head bosses say is the right, moral thing. Not what's fair or even-handed. Not even if it's contradictory. People outside their tribe do not deserve the same rights as they do. So hypocrisy is irrelevant. What is moral is what's good for their group, especially their authoritarian leader.
But they don't get that humanity as a whole should be their tribe. And our leader should be our employee, as all in government are.
Oh well.
