They'll turn on Trump sooner rather than later, but I'm betting the Democrats don't want him ousted. Trump being replaced my Pence would mean they have an actual politician to contend with, one that won't make for easy soundbites or stories about tantrums. Trump is easy pickings, Pence is not.
But then again, this is the Democrats. Even at +20 they would probably find a way to screw up.

74% said Donald Trump is intelligent??? In Nov 2016???
Both things can be true no?
It's weird to see such conflicting words right next to each other like that. Highlights how most of the country thinks this guy is an idiotic, incompetent scumbag, while his supporters think he's the exact opposite.
I don't believe they'll do it until the mass wave actually happens. If 2018 happens and they somehow barely hold on to a slight majority in the house and senate then I can see them starting to move to try to survive 2020.

"Trying"
Don't worry guys he's trying his best
So above all the populace is increasingly realizing that he's a complete idiot. They've been told this by everyone forever of course, but I guess it's not real to them until they realize it themselves.
Except Pence is boring, the base isn't going to get excited for Pence.

Americans are fucking stupid.
I know, it's the same as if they answered with "alive, man, human, breathing, has skin, is old"
Just baffling, but not too baffling, when that many people voted for him.

The other numbers in this are pretty wild:
Only because it was used in a sentence with other words... "Trying to be narcisistic," "Trying to be disgusting"
I'm glad to see some of my regular word associations on here... I must call him a "clown" or "an idiot" more than anything else.
- Voters disapprove 65 - 31 percent of the way Trump talks about the media.
- And voters trust the media more than Trump 57 - 31 percent to tell the truth about important issues; Though voters disapprove 58 - 37 percent of the way the news media covers Trump. (Interesting)
- Trump's first 100 days in office have been "mainly a failure," 58 percent of voters say, while 38 percent say they have been "mainly a success."
- By a 54 - 38 percent margin, American voters want the Democratic Party to win control of the U.S. House of Representatives. This is the widest margin ever measured for this question in a Quinnipiac University poll. (Damn)

Well, if you can't say anything nice...
"Asshole"
God bless America.
Well, Trump knows what to do now to get those numbers back up...

The congressional GOP that have been supporting and holding Trump up, now staring down a +16 D about a year out from midterms.
+16 for Dems crushes all gerrymandering advantage.

Can trying really be considered good though lol
Some of them were iffy. But "trying" people are trying to give a positive response, I think.
We'll see how the midterms turn out. But it's not news that he's unpopular. He was always unpopular. The problem is that he will always have a base of support no matter what he does.
This is from before he fired Comey. The House fumbling healthcare is the reason for the slump
That base seems like it's shrinking big time though.

Don't forget, Pence is the same dumbass who said that smoking isn't unhealthy during a debate last year.
I kind of also subscribe to the theory that Trump sort of negated his bad press by having TOO MANY dumb sound bites that people legitimately stop caring at some point. Pence is certainly capable of saying plenty of dumb shit.
Also keep in mind, Pence couldn't have even won another election in Indiana again, he was shit. His political career was dead and that's why the GOP pushed him into accepting the VP, they didn't want to sacrifice someone with a future.

These numbers are garbage for a president not even 6 months into his term. The idea that it's no big deal because he's at his minimum doesn't really work when he's hit his minimum 4 months into his presidency. This is supposed to be the time when his ratings are the highest.
He's also dragging the entire GOP down with him.
Maybe it's a southern thing, but "trying" to me has always been synonymous to "trying my patience":

As I understand it, gerrymandering reorganizes districts to in order to trade wider margins in a few districts for more districts with narrower margins. So gerrymandering increases the odds of a Dem takeover when the polling numbers are this dismal for the GOP.

Historically no, how you are your first year is frequently your ceiling or near it. When it hits 29 in December, it's bad.

Yeah probably. I just imagine it as so half-hearted though.

Seems like everyone is repeating the mistakes of the past election. National polls don't matter. Polls in the individual states and districts that are voting on vulnerable seats are the only ones of any use.

Seems like a lot of people still don't understand politics either. A generic ballot +16 D would be a wave election.
My mind can sort of imagine about 10% of the country being crazy/hateful/ignorant enough to approve of this mess. I still don't understand how it's as high as it is.
I understand that historically for this amount of time into a presidency it's low, but nothing about this presidency falls remotely within norms. Thinking back to the comparatively dignified Bush administration and remembering how I couldn't believe it could ever be that bad...
