THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Penner]

So pretty bad news about Trump's approval ratings:

A majority of Americans say President Trump has not accomplished much during his first nine months in office and they have delivered a report card that is far harsher even than the tepid expectations they set for his tenure when he was sworn into office, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News survey.

Approaching the first anniversary of his victory over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, Trump has an approval rating demonstrably lower than any previous chief executive at this point in his presidency over seven decades of polling. Fewer than 4 in 10 Americans — 37 percent — say they approve of the way he is handling his job.

Trump’s approval rating has changed little over the past four months, which have included tumultuous events, from hurricanes to legislative setbacks to indictments in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation into the role Russia played in the 2016 campaign.

The president’s disapproval rating has reached 59 percent, with 50 percent saying they strongly disapprove of the job he is doing. While little changed since the summer, both represent the worst marks of his presidency.

Yeah, just to show how much of the public perceives their elected leader is a major thing.

Had Rand Paul been carrying and shot that dude from his lawn mower, he'd be the next president. Not even joking either. That was his one shot.

Yeah but how do you know your neighbor is going to attack you before he just cold cocks you?

Yeah. Shit deal for Rand Paul. Oh well.

Shooting a deranged democrat from your lawn mower would be a victory condition years in advance.

These polling groups were wrong by 15 to 20 points in the election. Why trust them now ?
