How noble! Trump driving a dead man's approvals down !

Favorability ratings for former Arizona Senator John McCain dropped from 48% to 40% since September

Last week, President Donald Trump renewed his attacks on Senator John McCain, doing so at rallies and on his Twitter account. Just after the Senator’s memorial service last summer, twice as many Americans had a favorable than unfavorable opinion of McCain, according to Economist/YouGov data. But in the last six months, Republicans have shifted their opinion of the former GOP Senator, becoming more negative, and putting them more in agreement with the President.

In September, just after the memorial service for McCain, Republicans were narrowly favorable about him. Now, unfavorable evaluations outnumber favorable ones. Democratic opinions have changed little since September.

Both Republicans and Democrats agree that Senator McCain is a hero, though the number of Republicans who think that has dropped 16 points in the last six months. In September, Republicans believed McCain was a hero by more than two to one (56% to 25%). While they still call him a hero, it is by a much narrower margin, 42% to 33%. Democrats have hardly changed in that period.

"Trump is obsessed with the fact that he's never going to be a great man like my father."

He'll never be an equal to any man -- or woman -- who has ever served in the military. At his heart Fat Donnie is a coward.

around or know. Seems like an anal-retentive exercise at the least.
