Polls, polls, polls...

Poor Donnie just can't win. Sad.

"As honeymoons go, Donald Trump’s wasn’t much to write home about. He was voted in as the most unpopular president-elect in modern history and got slightly less unpopular in the weeks that followed, as the goodwill flowed. Even then, though, he clearly remained the most unpopular president-elect in modern history. Again, that was the honeymoon.
And now it’s over.
A new poll from Quinnipiac University suggests that Trump has reverted to his pre-election standing, with Americans having major concerns about his temperament and the direction in which his presidency will lead the country. Trump’s continued controversies seem to have put him right back where he was before he won the election.
Quinnipiac is the first high-quality pollster to poll on Trump twice since the election. And while its poll in late November showed his favorable rating rising from 34 percent to 44 percent, that number has dropped back to 37 percent, which is about where it stood for much of the campaign. That’s tied for Trump’s worst favorable rating in a poll since his election. And a majority — 51 percent — now have an unfavorable view of him." WaPo

"As a developer and a reality TV star, Donald Trump seemed to believe there was no such thing as too much publicity.
Already, as president elect, he’s finding that’s not so.
Trump is still a week away from being sworn in as president, but judging by the latest polls, he’s already started to wear out his welcome."

"THE HONEYMOON IS OVER
In the weeks immediately after the election, Trump got a small, but noticeable, boost in polls.
His efforts to prod Carrier Corp. to keep at least some jobs in Indiana got a lot of favorable attention — even if the numbers were less than he claimed. Independent voters, in particular, seemed to like the unifying tone he set with his speech on election night.
Two months on, that glow has worn off, and Trump’s standing with the public has returned to his normal, which is to say widely abnormal for any other newly elected president.
Only 44% of Americans approve of Trump’s transition so far, according to the latest Gallup figures, released Friday. A poll earlier in the week by Quinnipiac University pegged the number even lower — only 37% approved of Trump in that survey.
In either case, Trump stands far below the norm for a new president. In Gallup’s surveys, for example, 68% of Americans approved of Bill Clinton’s transition just before he took office, 61% approved of George W. Bush and a whopping 83% approved of Barack Obama." LA Times

Trump is not about "Poll" he is about "Power".

Trump is a bully and a coward who hides behind a Twitter wall. At some point he will have to face real audiences and it will be for real, not staged reality.

Wrong!

The post indicates what is available to Trump and the Republican congress--all within the constitution-- at least a span of two years to carry out their agenda.

That has nothing to do with tyranny. Such power is available to any party which has the congress and the presidency.

The campaign for that election is over. He won. Regardless of current polls, he and his party have a power edge for at least two years...that is the crux.

It does make me feel better that I'm in the majority with the disapproval. So 37% love the ass huh?

Absinthe... gotta make it legal first in this puritan nation.

Damn!

These Repubs are going to move fast with their rightist agenda. They are not going to play around like Obama when he had the congress.

I believe if my memory serves me right that the Dems have made it easier for them by changing the rules.
