We're almost in Nixon Spring of 1974 territory, baby !!!

1. 33%, eh. So of those who VOTE, about half.

Let's say only 40% of the VOTERS support his nightmarish agenda, what does that leave us with next year?

Well, voter suppression and obstruction and crosscheck amounts to about 3%, so now we are up to 43% support.

Russian on the ground KGB, uh I mean GRU agents working to flip votes or prevent more from voting, lets say another 3%, up to 46% now.

Then we have that agenda I am not allowed to talk about here, that in any given district or state the candidate on our side may not be .....enough.

Another possible 4% there.

So I would say we are at a virtual tie and this doesnt include the gerrymandering that means we lose no matter what in some places.

WORK to do folks!

18. So true ER ! I was thinking today that we have been wrong to wonder

why all these people haven't figured out that the guy's a lunatic crook liar. And it hit me....we are talking about the middle. They could be totally apolitical - I know people like that ! So, it's gonna take some time. There's evidence of the situation reaching critical mass - but it's a slow process. These apolitical types may only hear a political thing every month or two.

You are SO right. Since 2000 it is a burden we Democrats have to live with - make sure the poll gaps are so great - too great to cheat over.

2. I'm shocked...

That only 54% are embarrassed to have him as their president.

That should be 98% with a 2%+/- error margin

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. I'm embarrassed he's a fellow human being.

[angrychair]

5. +100000 my friend. NT

[SergeStorms]

17. Same here.

I'm SURE he belongs to some sub-species yet unknown to science.

[bellmartin]

19. There's much proof to the contrary. Human beings do not act that way.

[mgardener]

15. They are stupid

The 33 %.
Morons, the only answer.

[mcar]

4. How much lower will/can it go, DSB?

This really is unpresidented.

[Gothmog]

6. These are amazing polling numbers

[livetohike]

7. Going down. Down, down, down, down, down. n/t

[SunSeeker]

8. Dive! Dive! Dive!

[torius]

9. In the 538 one

he's just a hair under Gerald Ford's approval rating 6 months in. I was a kid but I don't remember Ford being that terrible, just kind of goofy, and I have not revisited his Presidency. I guess people were mad about his pardoning Nixon but that was right at the beginning as far as I recall.

[Ccarmona]

12. I Am Old Enough to Remember Ford

Not only was the pardoning of Nixon driving down his approval ratings, but he took a lot of the blame for the high inflation rate at the time. His solution was to issue WIN (Whip Inflation Now) buttons. That drove the electorate nuts.

[Ilsa]

21. I remember the price freezes. nt

[catbyte]

10. Wait a minute. Do 60% think he actually is above the law or that they think he thinks

he's above the law? There's quite a difference.

[D_Master81]

13. my take

I took that as a poorly worded way of saying 60% think he believes he's above the law. no way his approval is that low and 60% think he's actually above the law.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Sixty percent of Americans believe Trump thinks he's above the law.

[James48]

11. Huh?

Who the hell are these 33% who still support him?

I cannot, for the life of me, I cannot understand who would support that idiot after everything has done!

[Skittles]

14. NOT MY PRESIDENT

*NOT NOW, NOT EVER*

[Midnight Writer]

16. It's like being betrayed by a lover. Denial stage now. anger and resentment to follow.
