This is still mind-boggling and infuriating. Can't understand why this isn't at near 100% especially after revoking that fair pay and protections executive order.
Maybe they are married to rich male republicans.

Fucking ridiculous that our election system allows someone so unpopular to become president.

They're not a Democrat, they're a "Democrat". I have a friend--I'm hesitant to call him that--that voted for Trump and says he's a Democrat. He wanted Bernie to win and said Hillary was a criminal he would never vote for, so he voted for Donald Trump to "show the DNC a lesson". He voted for Ron Paul twice, Donald Trump, is Pro Life, against Taxes, and thinks minorities are lazy and women should stop complaining about "inequality". He's a registered Democrat, in Pennsylvania.

With things like the failed repealing of Obamacare and attacks against other GOP members, Republican support will start sliding faster. At this point, I imagine most of the approval for Trump among GOP voters is just defensive because they know he's extremely unpopular right now. Eventually they'll accept that he isn't just hated by the left, he is also completely ineffective even with a GOP controlled legislature.
Pretty much. AS long as that holds Congress will take their time before impeaching him. Once it slips and shows no signs of stopping to fall they are more likely to do something. It's not guarantied they'll do anything because they have proven to be inept and spineless before Trump came along.

look at the size of these crowds
If half the country chooses not to engage at all, then this is the expected outcome.

People are just tired of winning I guess.
I was just behind a truck with "Hllary for Prison 2016" and "Obama Bin Lyin" stickers this morning. There are a lot of these dumb fuckers around so he'll always have a base no matter what. Here's hoping he and his base keep being disgusting fuckups and that swings things back to normal.

Not necessarily. If his numbers with independents continue to crater Congress will be sweating bullets.
Independents trend republican, so even those in safe districts have cause for concern if those ratings hit the low teens or single digits.

It's an interesting thing because how many of those voters would happily approve of Pence or Ryan? They need to figure out how he's truly doing with their base, ignoring those who are in line with any Republican position. If the Republican leaders at large turn against him, his numbers plummet to his real base. If the congress is forced to act, they really need to commit to it so they can try and isolate him from the party. There has to be a tipping point where they go all in and it would be best for them if it isn't after everyone realizes their hands are tied.

Racist democrats exist. Mostly in West Virginia, voting in Manchin.

60% approval among republicans would have him basically at zero with democrats and independents. That would be a catastrophic slide.
He'd be well under Bush's low point AND where Nixon was when he resigned.
You'll never see his approval get that low, he'd be impeached long before that. A president THAT disliked would wipe out every republican in anything that could barely be considered a competitive district.

Maybe this will energize the other half of the country to get off their asses and vote.

lmao, literally paraphrasing Trump's usual defense. So your conclusion is what? Trust your gut? Look the other way?

Women can be stupid and racist too. Hate is a powerful thing. Its his rhetoric that wins them over. Most of them probably don't know he's screwing them over yet.

My conclusion is that these numbers are as meaningful as last year's poll numbers
Keep calling everyone that votes for trump or other republicans stupid and racist and see how far it gets you.

Not nearly low enough.

So he's still unpopular, gotcha.
So.... Accurate then?
You know his inner circle of loons have already walked through the possible #'s increase/decrease with Trump if he were to begin surgical attacks against targets in North Korea. I never thought there would be an administration that would make Dick Cheney look quasi-reasonable by comparison.

Hillary won the popular vote by 3 million because she won california by 4.7 million, but the polls had her winning a plurality of swing states, which did not happen.
So, no.
Fuck yeah, especially at the state and local level.
Even though his approvals among Republicans are still relatively high, 79 percent among your own party less than three months in is still fairly shitty.
At the risk of disappointing you, national polling and state polling are two different sets of polling. At the risk of upsetting you even further, polling approval ratings =/= calculating a candidate's percentage for victory.
Donald Trump was a significantly unpopular candidate last year, so him being a significantly unpopular president this year seems pretty consistent to me.

He should be in the negatives for his performance so far. All talk.

And to stay president. Nearly two-thirds of the country think he is doing a terrible job and yet he and his administration get to keep making decisions that fuck over millions of people for years to come. It's not right.
He wanted to vote for Bernie and is against taxes. Wow.
That's not how it works though, so... Yay for ignorance?
Keep trying. It's entertaining.
Yes, I'm impressed at his immigration ban, healthcare reform, tax package, and infrastructure bill.
Gutting the EPA sure is an accomplishment though! Sure is hard to sign some overly simplistic ban on new regulations and hiring.
