Mixed feelings
by digby
Only 6% of people have them about Trump. Everyone else knows exactly how they feel about him. And most of them don't approve:
Public approval of President Donald Trump has dropped to its lowest level since his inauguration, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday, after Trump was accused of mishandling classified information and meddling with an FBI investigation.
The May 14-18 opinion poll found that 38 percent of adults approved of Trump while 56 percent disapproved. The remaining 6 percent had "mixed feelings."
Here's how it looks:
This part is important because it impacts the way these GOP miscreants calculate their positions on big legislation and then 2018:
Among Republicans, 23 percent expressed disapproval of Trump in the latest poll, up from 16 percent in the same poll last week. The decline in support from Republicans appears to be a primary reason why Trump's overall approval rating is now at the lowest level since he took office.
I'm all for any legal method of removing Trump from office, whether resignation, 25th Amendment or impeachment. But it's very important that Democrats win elections and the American people repudiate this Republican party's descent into madness. It takes a while for that to happen. (And it doesn't last...)
Last time it took the monumental debacles of Katrina, Iraq and a worldwide economic meltdown to pry a small number of people away from their GOP identity to vote for Barack Obama. Let's hope they wise up a little bit sooner this time.
