Paul, the poll that counted in Nov 2016 had Trump at 46.1, which is just about where he is now. It was also about where Obama was after his first year in office.
What he had at the time of his inauguration was the normal goodwill where folks who didn’t hate the winner but voted for someone else, or didn’t vote at all, decide the winner is the President and deserve their place.
What happened this time was the constant drumbeat of DNC house organs chanting Russia Russia. MSNBC hosts looking at the camera and stating there was a candidate under FBI investigation at the time of the election and it wasn’t Hillary Clinton. We now know that was not the case, but the damage was done.
Unfortunately, Paul, you are such a mathematical nothing, it’s pretty impossible to talk about statistics with you in a meaningful way. Trump is where he was on election day. Yes, the drumbeat of attack poodles in the press have wounded his standing, as have his, ahem, unconventional ways of communicating in twits. We have not had a president without political experience (national, state or local) who talks like a real estate developer from Queens because he is a real estate developer from Queens.
Nothing succeeds like success and nothing fails like failure. Trump has unwound much of the Obama presidency and fulfilled many of his campaign promises. The Main Street economy is roaring, the stock market is booming. Regulations continue to be peeled back and it appears profits from multinationals that have been stuck overseas are being repatriated for domestic spending and investment.
Trump haters, rejoice! Maybe the economy can be derailed if you try hard enough and if that’s what you really want.

All you look at is the Rasmussen polls and “about where he is to day” as you put it is meaningless. the consensus polls show his at -17 or so and before the election he was -2 which is about what he lost the popular vote by. you can’t put a lipstick on that pig with any credibility because you are only looking at one poll The consensus poll tells the story you don’t want to hear and that story is that Trump has historic lows after his first year.

-17 is meaningless, Paul. Compared to what? The “consensus poll” (meaning the Rassmussen Approval Index?) is a measure of how many more really hate the President vs really like the President. An interesting number… but how many approve as a whole is what would decide an election if held that day.
-2 is meaningless. Compared to what? Yes, before the Russia crap was flung into the fan, there was less hate and more support from the GOP.
He won the electoral vote at a 46.1% of votes cast. He’s right about there now, before a resolution of the Mueller investigation, before the tax overhaul has a chance to do anything, before the lessened regulatory burden has a chance to work.
It might not but your incessant cheerleading for failure is not going to hurry anything along. Give it a rest.

Bannon ready to sing. Get your popcorn folks it’s gonna be a show
“Former White House adviser Steve Bannon is willing to cooperate with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into whether President Donald Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 election, according to multiple media reports late Tuesday and early Wednesday.
“Mueller will hear everything Bannon has to say,” a source told The Daily Beast, which first reported the news on Tuesday night.
Axios confirmed on Wednesday that Bannon ― who reportedly received a subpoena last week to testify in the special counsel’s investigation ― “intends to fully cooperate with Mueller.” Though the subpoena asks Bannon to appear before a grand jury, Bannon struck a deal to be interviewed directly by prosecutors instead, CNN’s David Wright said.”

Today, Trump’s approval is 45%, meaning 55% disapproval/meh! So is that a -10 by your interpretation?
Trump got 46.1% of the popular vote, meaning about 54% voted NOT for Trump, including me. Does that mean he was -8… or does it mean he was -2, the gap between him and the DP candidate?
What a tangled web you weave, Paul.
I choose to not play with the numbers to torture out a different answer. It’s about 45% approval today, by Rasmussen’s methodology, their decision about Likely Voters vs. Anyone who is willing to answer their questions when they call them on the phone. The number is an approximation and I am satisfied any error is unintentional.
I’d put me in the meh! category… except I believe 100% that he is legally the President by the Constitution and find the continual effort by Snowflake-Americans to perform a coup d’etat do-over to be the most odious of any post election grieving I’ve witnessed.

Porn Star goes public on Trump romp
Porn star Stormy Daniels has now gone on the record in an interview with In Touch Weekly about her alleged sexual encounters with President Donald Trump.
Report Advertisement
In an interview filled with cringe-worthy details, Daniels says that sex with Trump was “textbook generic,” while expressing regret that she ever had an affair with Trump back in 2006, shortly after his wife Melania gave birth to their son, Barron Trump.
“[The sex] was textbook generic,” she said. “I actually don’t even know why I did it, but I do remember while we were having sex, I was like, ‘Please, don’t try to pay me.’”
She reportedly became involved with Trump after he invited her to dinner in his hotel room after meeting her at the American Century celebrity golf tournament in July 2006. After Daniels went to the bathroom after dinner, she said she returned to see Trump lying in bed beckoning her toward him.
“And I was like, ‘Ugh, here we go,’” she said. “And we started kissing.”
Trump’s relationship with Daniels first became public after the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that Trump attorney Michael Cohen had paid her $130,000 to keep quiet about their affair. Cohen tells In Touch that he still denies any allegation that the president had an affair with Daniels.

Finally, there is one judge in CA that has returned sanity to the courtroom. Not only did the judge reject the defense motion that the accused was not competent to stand trial, the judge also rejected the insanity defense.
The illegal alien is more than competent to stand trial. In a usual move, the defense attorney told the judge that his illegal alien client indeed murdered two LE officers in cold blood as well as wounding others.

Oh well, there’s no point in hatefacts. Some wise guy will invent, from whole cloth, a theory about how it’s all about poverty. And then someone else will correct for poverty by looking up crime stats corrected for income. And then nothing gets resolved as everyone mutters in their corner.
I have another new theory in addition to CAL-50, the income tax that will save the day, and that’s to do an experiment in mass immigration based on gender.
Let’s say we let in quite a few younger people, aged from 16-30, but they all have to be healthy females. No males allowed. Men, after all, are the source of most crime…plus we could stand the admixture.
