(9,119 posts)Their views of Trump will not change until Trump does something to change them. We saw that on full display last week when he cowered from the criticism of Limbaugh, Coulter, and Ingraham. My guess is when Trump supporters start to feel the pressure on their own wallets from Trump's failed policies they will start to peel away. Right now they are still living and thriving on lies.

Simple Trump voters could be very gettable in that there were those who voted for him because the Supreme Court and judicial nominations were important to them and they didn't want Clinton making them.
Other than the Trump followers, the best we could hope for is that they just wouldn't vote.

(22,597 posts)I rather run against a weakened & battered Trump than anyone else, but so many on the Left want him gone as soon as possible. Beware the Law of Unintended Consequences.

(20,880 posts)I know there are areas of the country where he maintains that FOX bubble support. But honestly, where he wasn't liked in 2016, he's hated openly and almost universally now. He's the first president I can remember to be openly mocked by friends that aren't even political.

(17 posts)Anybody have the numbers on the Fox Propaganda network ( aka "American Pravda" )? I would bet they are remarkable close to these. After all, some people think; others are led.

(10,839 posts)538 have had a slight dip. Trumpski's overall approval #s are being propped up by Rasmussen and Harris Interactive; they have him in the upper 40s. But the others? He's definitely dropping to 40 and below.
The surveys are more damning when you look at the strongly approve, slightly approve, get the Hell out of town numbers.
Trumpski is on life support. Personally? I'm for pulling the plug but I agree with Scarborough--the Administration is terminal one way or the other.
