63% Disapproval

President Donald Trump's job approval rating has sunk to a new low as Americans express growing concerns about rising costs and the war with Iran, according to an NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey. Overall, 37% of adults approve of Trump's performance as president, while 63% disapprove -- including 50% who said they disapprove strongly -- putting his job rating at the lowest point of his second term in NBC News Decision Desk polling.

How will Mr Toad TACO get himself out of this mess?

Stay tuned next week for another episode filled with a firehouse of lies and 2 week ultimatums.

As long as he can lie and PRETEND everything is going just fine then the stocks hold up and the money will keep rolling in. For the millionaires and billionaires and Big Oil. Not for you.

Donald Trump is the worst president of the United States, and the worst man to be president of the United States.

These things have always been true. Now, finally, people see that wreck of a humab being for who he is.

22K PSI from a 38?

Only two things have ever changed their minds:
1. Being a black.
2. Being a woman.

"Firehouse = Firehose"

Actually the correct equation is this:

Minutemen - D. Boon = fIREHOSE

Americans are stupid or fickle or both.

( fickle - I do like that word.)

Consider that, on average, of the ten US adults near you right now, four might be for Trump.

Location, location, location.

37% approval is absurd.

Thr level of abject stupidity it takes to support this shouldn't be present in more than 20% of the population.

If you look at the poll, any statistically significant movement is on the extremes.
Only the "Strongly Approve" is down, and only "Strongly Disapprove" is up. And it all happened since last August.

The size of the middle chunk, the roughly one-third of respondents that "Somewhat Approve" and "Somewhat Disapprove" hasn't really changed over time.
I do have to wonder if these are the people who don't vote...

Then there's this:

Q11: In the Middle East situation, are your sympathies more with:
3/30-4/13
The Israelis 50%
The Palestinians 50%

@ If you look at the poll, any statistically significant movement is on the extremes."

I would conclude that the extremes on both sides of the political spectrum are the ones most likely to participate in these types of polls.

Check out question 7 from the link in #13. And then starting around Q30.

But to your point, polls like this are not deeply accurate, just a finger in the wind.

63% Disapproval

And yet, a significant # of his enablers will still be reelected come November.
