I still think MelissaSpice - but it's anyone's guess right now.

Another poll to analyse

www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2017/02/americans-now-evenly-divided-on-impeaching-trump.html

Headlines:

On our first poll of his Presidency voters were evenly divided on Trump, with 44% approving of him and 44% also disapproving. Now his approval rating is 43%, while his disapproval has gone all the way up to 53%. If voters could choose they'd rather have both Barack Obama (52/44) or Hillary Clinton (49/45) instead of Trump.

Just three weeks into his administration, voters are already evenly divided on the issue of impeaching Trump with 46% in favor and 46% opposed. Support for impeaching Trump has crept up from 35% 2 weeks ago, to 40% last week, to its 46% standing this week.

While Clinton voters initially only supported Trump's impeachment 65/14, after seeing him in office over the last few weeks that's gone up already to 83/6.

Voters are concerned about Trump taking away Obamacare. 47% of voters now say they support the Affordable Care Act to only 39% who are opposed. It just keeps getting more popular. And only 32% think the best course of action to take on health care is repealing the ACA, while 65% would like Congress to keep it and just fix parts that need fixing.

-Voters are increasingly taking the media's side in his fights with them. The New York Times has repeatedly been a target of Trump's attacks, but voters say they think the Times had more credibility than them 52/37. Trump seems to be losing ground in that conflict- he was only down 51/42 a week ago.

The Presidency has been so diminished over the last 3 weeks that voters even say Saturday Night Live has more credibility than Trump, 48/43.

www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2017/PPP_Release_National_21017.pdf

66% of Americans consider the United States to be a safe country, to only 23% who consider it unsafe.
Perhaps as an outgrowth of that sentiment only 45% of voters support Trump's Executive Order on immigration, to 49% who are opposed to it. Among those who do support it you have to wonder how well thought out their position is- by a 51/23 margin Trump voters say that the Bowling Green Massacre shows why Trump's immigration policy is needed

When Trump threatens to do something early next week wrt to the Travel ban, what can he actually do? I mean three judges, two democrat and one republican questioned the lawyers on both sides with really tough questions and even Clifton being a Republican and seeming to interrogate the anti-ban lawyer more than the other judges agreed after looking at all the evidence that the ban shouldn't be allowed to rear it's head again so what is Trump going to do? Surely any EO he creates with regard to a 'new and improved' ban will just end up in court again and receive exactly the same treatment as the previous one?

RM @RepEliotEngel: Trump Must Relieve Flynn. Read the Ranking Member's statement here: democrats-foreignaffairs.house.gov/news/press-releases/engel-trump-must-relieve-flynn

amispartacus · 10/02/2017 19:19

51% of Trump supporters agreed with this statement:

91% of Hilary Clinton supporters disagreed with this statement.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: ‘the Bowling Green massacre shows why we need Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration?

That should be a great picture...

No. I don't think he will. They'll circle the wagons.

GingerIvy · 10/02/2017 19:28

There's evidence against Flynn. If he was ordered to do this by Trump, he might decide to blow it all up. He's done - I don't see him recovering from this. They cannot circle the wagons around him, they will HAVE to dump him. And he knows a lot of their secrets.
