The CNN poll this morning has horrible numbers for Trump. 36% to 63% for a net minus 27%. Losses among all demographic groups. But the number I watch for in any of these polls is the strongly approve vs strongly disapprove. Those are the folks who are more likely to make it to the polls in midterms. Inside the cross tabs in this CNN poll is 48% strongly disapprove of Trump, while just 19% strongly approve. That's a net of minus 29%. Wow.

(1,546 posts)that he doesnt care about them.
It just shows how wealthy we are, when 30% of the population can throw away 250 years of relative stability for a charlatan.

He said he only cares about their vote.

(12,472 posts)Trump and the MAGA GOP know the tide has turned, that Trump's unpopularity is off the charts. He might be the most despised political figure in American history. Those courting the Mad King know it, too. They're in too deep, broken too many laws and betrayed the country's foundational principles to give up the fight. They know their asses and necks are on the line. Think Stephan Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, etc..
Think crimes against humanity.
They and everyone who propped them up will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to stay in power and avoid accountability.
And yes, we must be ready. Because it's coming.

(23,923 posts)Most presidents get a bump from the SOTU, I don't think that will be the case this year. It will highlight everything people hate about him, the selfishness, the cruelty, the constant bragging, and the incoherence.
I think this will be his last SOTU, next year it will be canceled as he'll not want to go through the humiliation again.

(3,050 posts)Only 1% of participants chose the unqualified response "A completely good person" and another 4% chose "A good person who did some bad things."
Among responses representing mixed views, 7% thought Hitler was "an equally good and bad person" and 12% said he was "a bad person who did some good things."
Sixty-five percent of respondents called Hitler "a completely bad person" and 12% responded "Not sure."
After reading this, it's easy to understand that 19% of Americans strongly support Trump.
