Biden would be the wise choice. Sanders isnt a statesman with his demeanor.


Says you. According to your sensibilities. Hate to spoil your innocence but people can have other political views than you and it doesn't make them illogical.


Its quite illogical how anyone could vote for and or support Trump.

Existence of separate political views are a given. Support of someone who doesnt have political beliefs with the personality of a deli counter clerk is what doesnt make sense.

Well there's winning that some people seems not to like....
 
A lot of people seem to ignore the fact that when Trump tweets...there's a big chance it's just to rustle some sherdog jimmies and snowflakes...
 
At least he didn't refer to himself as "the ratings machine" this time.

He's got a clear agenda. And what's wrong with being a deli clerk. Elitist?
 
Hmmm...I wonder why all of a sudden Trump's going hard after Transgenders, Gays, the Civil Rights Act...all while pandering to Evangelicals?
Is Trump Losing Republican Support? Latest Approval Ratings Show Drop From GOP Members
Newsweek said:
President Donald Trump, in the middle of a whirlwind week involving the Republican Party’s infighting over repealing and/or replacing Obamacare, as well as a public feud with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, saw his overall approval ratings and support from GOP party members decline in a poll released Wednesday.

Only just over a third (35.1 percent) of those polled by Reuters approved of Trump’s work in office, with more than half (58.1 percent) disapproving and 4.2 percent expressing “mixed feelings” in the five-day rolling poll. Reuters’ latest results suggest that those who had mixed feelings about Trump have instead moved into the disapproval category. Earlier this week, 8 percent of respondents garnered mixed feelings compared to a 55.7 percent disapproval rating and a 36.3 percent approval.

The poll also showed a recent steady decline of support from Republicans, who, despite Trump’s actions on social media and major legislative inaction, have been staunch supporters during the first six months of his presidency.

On July 15, the billionaire had a 79.9 percent approval rating from GOP members, with 17.3 percent disapproving and 2.7 percent registering mixed feelings. But over the next nine days, Republican support dropped by 6 points to 73.9 percent approving, those who had mixed feelings now disapproved, and the disapproval rating rose to 23 percent.

This represents a new low for Trump among Republicans, who previously registered a 74.3 percent approval during the week of May 14, a controversy-laden time for Trump in the days following his abrupt dismissal of FBI director James Comey because of the Russia investigation.

The public prodding and poking of Sessions—a popular hardline conservative and former Alabama senator with allies in Congress and among the GOP’s law-and-order base—could be a reason for Trump’s decline within his own party.

In a series of tweets this week, Trump labeled Sessions “beleaguered” and asked why the attorney general hadn’t focused an investigation on Democrat Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. Trump is said to be incensed by Sessions’ decision to recuse himself from any probe into his campaign’s alleged collusion with the Russian government during last year’s election, which in turn led Trump’s No. 2, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to appoint former FBI director Robert Mueller special counsel for the investigation.

Even if you look at other polls you can see his support among Independents cratering-- the more conservative among them abandoning him.
Newsweek said:
Gallup’s latest poll, taken between July 23 and July 25, also released Wednesday, showed Trump’s approval rating to be somewhat higher at 37 percent, compared to 58 percent disapproval.

I'm specifically highlighting the Gallup because it's Trump's favorite poll, and the only one which correctly predicted him to win the Presidency. It hasn't hit a mark above 40% once going back to May 28th, now. Prior to that, going all the way back to inauguration, it had only dipped below 40% on two occasions: at 39% and 38%. It was a wall of 40%-45% up until May 28th.


Below you can study the chart of his approval average among all polls over the course of his Presidency: the ever-widening gap.

The Hill reports on the poll that sees Trump more favorably than any other, The Harvard-Harris Poll, but goes into more depth on where and why he is losing support. This poll is also interesting because it resides outside the RCP and 538's pools. We won't yet feel the ripple from the GOP fiasco of the Health Care collapse culminating in the failure of the "Skinny Repeal".
Trump job approval swings lower
The Hill said:
After a brief rebound, President Trump’s job approval rating has swung lower in the latest Harvard–Harris Poll survey.

Forty-four percent say they approve of the job Trump is doing, a 4-point drop from June and down near the previous low of 45 percent in May.

At 83 percent, Republicans still overwhelmingly approve of the job Trump is doing, but only 40 percent of independents approve. Trump is at 54 percent approval among white voters, 32 percent among Latinos and 12 percent among black voters.

The poll was taken before the collapse of Republicans' latest effort to repeal ObamaCare in the Senate early Friday morning.

“There is an extreme racial divide on Trump approval as a majority of white voters approve of the job he has done while almost 9 in 10 blacks disapprove,” said Harvard–Harris Poll co-director Mark Penn.

Voters approve of the job Trump is doing on fighting terrorism, jobs and the economy, but disapprove of his handling of immigration, foreign affairs and administering the government.

Only 41 percent have a favorable view of the president personally, the survey found.

The same number say the presidency is on the right track, against 59 percent who say it is on the wrong track.

Among those who believe the presidency is headed in the right direction, most say it is because of the president’s policies, not because of his temperance for the job. For those who believe Trump is on the wrong track, 77 percent said it was because he is intemperate.

“People who support the president support his policies; people who think the administration is on the wrong track dislike his personal style and want him to tone it down,” said Penn.

Voters say that Trump could improve his presidency by focusing more on the economy, by abstaining from Twitter, by changing his tone to be less combative or by reshuffling his White House team to install people with more government experience.

Republicans in Congress are less popular than Trump and are performing worse than Democrats. While 59 percent give Democrats in Congress a negative rating, 67 percent disapprove of the job Republicans are doing.

“The division in the administration has hurt the president while the division in the Republican Party has hurt the Republicans,” Penn said. “They have created their own version of gridlock. But Democrats are far from majority support as well as the country favors bipartisan action.”

Only 32 percent of voters say the country is on the right track. But there is still optimism about the economy, with 44 percent saying it’s on the right track compared to 41 percent who said wrong track.

“It's rare for voters to see the economy on the right track but the administration so much on the wrong track,” Penn said.

Trump continues to be hampered by his firing of former FBI Director James Comey and the myriad investigations and controversies pertaining to Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

Forty-four percent say there should be no action against Trump on these fronts, while 41 percent say Trump should be impeached and 15 percent say he should be censured by Congress. Still, a strong majority — 64 percent — say the investigations are hurting the country.

The public is split over the revelation that Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer last year under the pretense he would get dirt on then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Thirty-seven percent said a crime may have been committed. Thirty-three percent said it was a typical of political campaigns conducting opposition research and 30 percent said the meeting was inappropriate but not a crime.

“The Donald Trump Jr. revelations did not change any minds on impeachment — it's still 4 in 10, including most Democrats,” Penn said.

The Harvard-Harris Poll online survey of 2,051 registered voters was conducted between July 19 and July 24. The partisan breakdown is 37 percent Democrat, 31 percent Republican, 27 percent independent and 4 percent other.



The Harvard-Harris Poll is a collaboration of the Harvard Center for American Political Studies and The Harris Poll. The Hill will be working with Harvard-Harris Poll throughout 2017.

Full poll results will be posted online later this week.

 The Harvard-Harris Poll survey is an online sample drawn from the Harris Panel and weighted to reflect known demographics. As a representative online sample, it does not report a probability confidence interval.

Trump didn't sell Healthcare to the American people after campaigning that he could get it done. So yea, it's not so much he didn't get healthcare done....it's he didn't do the obvious thing to get it done - sell it. Therefore I also hold him accountable. As of right now, I'm voting every republican out that I can with the hopes a new "Republican Party" will be born ...or that the current one dies.

And that right there is what YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. Regardless of which side of the political spectrum you reside on. If the rep doesn't do what is in your best interests, that rep should GTFO
 
A month ago

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 39% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Sixty-one percent (61%) disapprove.

The latest figures for Trump include 26% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 49% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -23. (see trends).

The latest findings mark the first time Trump’s overall approval rating has slipped below 40% in Rasmussen Reports tracking.

This is ridiculous. They inverted the numbers and it's really 93%. Get out of your bubble.

Your overlord himself said, and I quote from the tweet that is in this thread....

"The new Rasmussen Poll, one of the most accurate in the 2016 Election"

So they are accurate when they say something good about your new God but when they say something bad, it's just an inaccurate poll.

Rip.... troll extraordinaire!
