Trumps Approval Drops Following Mueller Report
"President Donald Trumps approval rating dropped 3 percentage points following the Thursday release of Special Counsel Robert Muellers report on Russian attacks on U.S. elections and Trumps efforts to obstruct the probe.
The poll was conducted by Reuters/Ipsos from Thursday afternoon to Friday morning. It showed Trumps approval at 37%, the presidents lowest this year. Thats down from 40% on April 15 and from 43% after U.S. Attorney General William Barr released a letter summarizing the Mueller report in late March, Reuters reported."
On the issue of impeachment, 40% of those surveyed said Trump should be impeached, compared to 42% who said he shouldnt. And half of the Americans polled said they agreed that Trump or someone working on his 2016 presidential campaign collaborated with Russia to influence the elections. Fifty-eight percent said they believed Trump tried to obstruct the investigation.
"If you find any of these numbers discouraging, remember that former President Richard Nixons approval ratings were over 50% shortly before the Senate began holding televised Watergate hearings in May 1973. When those hearings started, the percentage of Americans who thought Nixon should be removed from office was at only 19%, according to the Pew Research Center. That number had climbed to 57% by the time Nixon resigned in August of the following year."

The Rethugs have just declared all in with Trump and it is going to be nothing but a PR war till January of 2021.
Look for a major Government shut down coming this fall.
