What do you think of the poll that came out today that has Tinythumbs Tweetsalot at 49-49.

Check RCP. I dreaded the SOTU because I knew this would happen. At least it likely falls in the dead-cat bounce category but still Trump near 50% is terrifying even in a bounce!

That said... when the stock market "slow crash" happens over the next few months and companies decide to retrench ( rather than expand ) ... I expect even his 35% base to turn on him.

He will lose women, minorities, college-educated white men, and, eventually non-college educated white men. That will put him down to the under 30. When that happens the House may actually impeach him.

I do see a 10-20% correction. Those in their 60s in the market should probably look to diversify.

But nobody should be complacent. At this time in 2014, nobody thought Rick Scott had a prayer of being reelected in Florida as governor. He ran a good campaign and we did not. He won.

They absorb and accept whatever they are told. Propaganda.

I no longer pay attention to polls. I no longer pay attention to half of our country.

For clarification; the russian bots are not just programs written to support russian propaganda. People can be programmed. About 39% of this country has been programmed by russians, so they too are russian bots. Fucking russian robots, spewing what they have been programmed to spew.

the change in poll numbers seems to make it appear that people sure do change their mind alot. Either b.s. or only wishy washy people are polled.
