I hope it dips into the 20's. Elected Republicans will have no choice but to distance themselves then.
No and he never will.

And it will only get worse as his presidency continues on. The high point for any presidency is usually right after the inauguration.

Might have been his involvement in integrating the military. Another reason was that Democrats held the White House for twenty years. Most Americans were yearning for change at that point.

Until he gets us into a conflict. He's that egomaniacal. He'll do anything to appear popular.
Hopefully, they stay with him. Need more garbage out of Congress.
53% of republicans strongly approve. That number was 67% on June 29th, 63% on May 10th, 60% on April 4th and 62% on March 22nd.
That's awesome.

I think there is no appetite for that at the moment. They are trying to drum it up for North Korea and Iran but I don't think it's going to work.
The issue the Republicans have now is that - barring a HUGE turn of fortunes - this is only going to get worse. At some point they have to cut off the limb to save the body.
If they do it too soon, they'll alienate the Trump loyalists - and bomb the next election.
If they do it too late, they'll have burned away their good will with the moderates - and bomb the next election.
Personally I suspect they'll hang on WAY too long hoping for a miracle, and cling to the Trump name long after he's become political cancer. Which is good news.

Some of the spin I see from some people trying to defend that idiot is pretty stunning.

That just means he's experiencing fallout for not repealing Obamacare and Trump will do something terrible to try and get their support back like sabotaging the exchanges. This isn't like more moderate Trump supporters are having a change of heart and realizing how bad Trump is.

Nah, even Dubya got 28% to 30%. That base will never leave him but it doesn't really matter. They are not needed to win back the WH.

he said it before, if he shot someone on 5th avenue or whatever, people wouldn't give a fuck and still vote for him

This will definitely affect the GOP congressmen. If it drops below the 30% range, they know that supporting Trump could affect the elections in 2018. Lets hope it goes down further.

Countdown to Trump trying to create a new government agency to generate polls that make him feel better about his approval rating?

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
I cannot wait until he starts consistently polling under 30.
The healthcare plan was incredibly unpopular even amongst republicans. The party's inability to pass it is likely not driving this number.

Still too high, but this is good. Looks like they're cracking.
I believe in Donald Trump.
The thing to consider is Dubya hit that when the economy crashed, on top of war weariness. The economy's doing fine, which probably props up Trump's numbers. All of Trump's problems are self-inflicted for now. But what happens if the market crashes, or major natural disaster, or something?

I keep pointing this out. Imagine if there was a act of God weather event or the market was under 17.
It's a fake pollster now.
"I'm not a Republican anymore, I'm an independent!"
*still holds mostly all Republican viewpoints and agrees with GOP policy*
Some things never change. So many people became 'independent' near the end of Dubya's second term.

Dare I ask how his polls reflect on more balanced or even left leaning ones??
The upcoming extended vacation might nudge it a little lower.
There is nearly 70 questions in that poll, covering a variety of subjects, and the split between white men and everyone else on almost every question is staggering. It's nothing new, but just seeing it over and over again for that many questions, it really hits you.
One of the few things everyone seems to see eye to eye on is wanting Trump to tweet less, and most importantly, respect for Mueller and his investigation, thank god.

no he's not. And you know it.
No, I suspect he'll get indicted by Mueller's squad and then history books will say he had a Put-in accident. He's not going to make it into prison, I think we all realize that deep down.
I imagine it will be him shooting himself on Times Square. Wouldn't lose any votes...
Man, I can see the novels and biopics about this clusterfuck in my head already.
(for those who've read Er Ist Wieder Da and its ending:
the point where the novel feels like it wanted to end is very similar. About that dog of his. "My fiedel, my fiedel, my..."

i suppose this would matter if polls meant anything at all
Deep, brah.
National polls accurately predicted that Trump would lose the popular vote.
Of course polls matter.

see *this* is how you troll.
Yep, public opinion finally sank below 38, and rushed right to 37 percent!
I dunno man, "absence makes the heart grow fonder" might apply for repubs here.
LOL, fair point. That might make it go up some.
