The sad thing is that those undecided voters we count on

will not vote against Drumpf in enough numbers to guarantee our win unless things effect them.

The stability of his polling shows too many Americans just don't care about the ongoing shit show that is this Presidency.

I understand a good part of that support is from the racist/evangelical loonies and deplorables that will stay with him because he is a inhuman monster.
But really, they shouldn't be more than 30%, so his 40% approval is troublesome to me. and a sad commentary on America.

30 years has gained them another 10%. But I am surprised his approval ratings are so high. Very very surprised.

They are trying to account for the statistical anamoly of the red shift in elections. It occurred when RepubliCONS, directed by their capitalist kings, started to seriously gerrymander, purge voters from rolls, disenfranchise minorities, encourage voter suppression and rig vote counts since 1988.

Democrats used to be so good at reaching out. What happened? We're not doing it any more, or we're not doing it enough to make a difference. If those non-voters can't see what's happening in this country, it's our fault. We're not telling them how important their vote is.

convinced that he's utterly innocent as the House isn't making any noise about his open and blatant criminality.

When turnout increases, especially with young voters, we win. Every time.

Historically, the US has less turnout than all major nations. It's not just a recent phenomenon.

would be a sad commentary on America. Such support for a monster like Trump in the 21st century is bizarre and inexplicable.
