Almost 2/3rds of Americans Disapprove of Trump’s Ballroom

Almost two-thirds of Americans disapprove of President Trump's White House ballroom plan, according to a poll.

In the Yahoo/YouGov poll, 61 percent of respondents said they did not support Trump's plan to add a ballroom, while 25 percent backed the move.

You mean that 61% of Americans do not like Pres Trump demolishing a part of the House they own and provide to Presidents?

It's not like he asked what Americans thought about it... he just tore it down because he could. And he could remodel the Safe Room below to protect him from future 'Karens'.

Like what he tried to do when he when he sent insurgents to riot at the WH, and told States to make Fake Ballots for him.

@#2 ... It's not like he asked what Americans thought about it... ...

From what I've seen, that has never been Pres Trump's approach.

Regarding real estate, he seems to have an approach he learned from his father.

From what I've seen...

~Don't ask for, or go through the process of, approval before demolition. Just demolish it, then there is no alternative but to allow you to build what you want.~

I think that the skating rink that Trump plans on the site of the Lincoln Memorial will be equally unpopular.

when 100% of the press coverage is negative, you're going to be left with only Trumpers supporting it.

But nobody understands these polls.

People "don't approve". But the real question is.......do any of them really care? They don't ask that.

Eberly cares deeply about letting us know that liberals don't really care.

Are you suggesting that this is in error?

It's Eberly who doesn't care.

And he's projecting?
Like Republicans always do?
Accusing the other side of what they're doing?

No way!

I feel for him... I'd like to think that if a Dem Pres ever did what Trump tried to do to stay in power, I would have joined something like the Lincoln Project on the Left, not just stopped caring.

I don't know and I don't care if any of it's unfair. It appears deserved from my perspective.

I'm just saying that if you want to know how much people care, ask them how much they care.

Not simply approve vs disapprove. The vast majority of things I don't approve of are also things I care little about.

I don't know and I don't care

I know you've sunken into a place where you make way too many things about me.

But that's another subject altogether.

But you fail to understand how significant it is to misunderstand or misinterpret the results of surveys like this.

They lead people to believe that if they simply say they disapprove of something, that means they also care about that issue. People prioritize things.....and not everything is that important to them, even when they "approve" or "disapprove" of something.

Want proof? Look at how many people, on election day, didn't really care enough about their disapproval of Trump to get off their assess and vote against him.

That's an example of "disapproval" doesn't equate to really caring about something.

"Look at how many people, today, don't really care enough about their disapproval of Trump to get off their assess and work against him."

Especially when there's libs to try to own!

Trump has only ever needed 1/3 of Americans to maintain his totalitarian regime.

Best of luck America.
