The new normal on Gallup

For about the past 10 days, Trump has been stuck on 34-35 percent approval and 59-60 percent disapproval in Gallup. (Today it's 34/60.) His former all-time low/high has become his average. It will be interesting to see if the gap holds steady, further widens, or eventually goes back to what it was before.

In times of National tragedy, people often rally and support the President (kind of like running to daddy/mommy for safety). That's not happening yet. In fact, he dropped a point today.
The end to this nightmare of a presidency can't come fast enough.

since they are "a cult of personality" and like who he is (they admire thugs, liars, and racist idiots) and real, factual issues are meaningless.

They were mainly regular Repubs who voted for him. That number is going down slightly, but his base has a whole different mind-set.

similiar to Georgie the Lost's pattern. Remember,the only thing that save Bush/Cheney was Iraq and a complicit Media. This time only Fake News the Murdoch Creation is left and after this Houston Travesty,Trump can kiss his fat rear end good bye.

This clusterf**k is just going to get worse. No legislation before the year is out. I think he'll scrape 25.
