Trump's "dangerously low" support among his base

[factfinder_77]

Source: axios

"Our data shows Trump losing support inside the Republican Party and a noticeable drop in his perceived honesty."
"Just 6 months in office, Trump is getting into dangerously low territory in key swing states. Trump's base of support has shrunk from 35.3% of voters who have a 'strongly favorable' view of him in April to only 28.6%."
"Notably, much of that erosion is among Republicans: Strongly favorable views among GOP voters dropped from 54.1% to 44.9%, while unfavorable views increased from 20.5% to 27.9%."
Why it matters: "Trump cannot take continued GOP support for granted in swing states."

2. but they just him LUUUUV him in West Virginia

I am waiting for him to spend a week in the coal mines with that moron governor of theirs.

14. WV should stage a BBQ feast for Trump

Cook all the meat over coal instead of charcoal!

3. Good! Keep on shrinking.

4. Random thoughts

Now that Trump says he is working and not on holiday, maybe he could write his own health care plan on paper, the one that would cover everyone and be cheaper.
Now that he wants to kick trans people out of the military perhaps his two sons could go into the military and serve the country, as Trump did not!
and OMG, is Sarah Huckabee Sanders from the infamous dog torturing family?

10. Yeah right! Not gonna happen

Cheeto can't even read a legislative bill, let alone write one.
I'm sure you're aware that nobody in the Trump extended family will ever serve in the military.
As to rumors about Mike Huckabee's son (Sarah's brother) once having killed a dog, it's apparently true according to Snopes.

5. Pretty soon he will be down to the hardest of the hard core

And we should never underestimate the dangers of the lowest common denominator.

7. He'll always have 15%, like Nixon

Nixon should have never resigned. Same crap. Same methods.

They got away with doing this whole "SILENT COUP" crap on Mr. Nixon; but, it took them decades to finally get him ! The nation/government wasn't as corrupt as it is now, back then.
This is utter garbage, we know it, but it'll just keep expanding and they SHALL "get" people; just NOT all of the Dems who colluded with Russia, broke tons of laws, and yes, had Seth murdered.

This whole thing smacks of a mud slinging campaign looking for something to stick. It worked when they wanted to get Nixon.

6. his real support is based on democrats ignoring the liars on 1500 radio stations

since democrats won't do anything about talk radio and won't even poll for it he'll hang in there creating havoc

so to get his numbers down to fact-based democracy levels of about 10% we'll just have to get lucky. maybe intrepid reporters find out hannity and limbaugh have been getting russian money for years.

9. Right again.

Yet still, nothing is done.

[certainot]

13. thanks. just look at the immigration issue they're using, mostly based on

years of lying about it and demonizing brown people and immigrants, with local radio stations regularly exaggerating crimes committed by immigrants. and much of it was just to get the base to pass voter suppression legislation.

in attacking NM sanctuary city santa fe the state-wide KKOB limbaugh station local blowhard there suggested the killer vigilante "purge" movie series concept might not be such a bad idea....

goes unnoticed.....

8. If he is still presidenting in 2020

the RW media will still be able to demonize the Democratic nominee enough that most of these people will still hold their noses and vote for Trump - Republicans seem to be better at this than Democrats (I know a lot of Republicans that proclaimed that they disliked Bush, but still voted for him because the media had so successfully demonized both Gore and Kerry)

11. "... a noticeable drop in his perceived honesty."

Funny, I have had no perceived drop in his honesty for over a year and a half now. Let me check. -- Nope, still zero.

[Permanut]

17. That was wtf statement for me too..

"Perceived honestly " Really?

[Raastan]

12. This is what must happen before he can be impeached

Trump must be a pariah in his own party, his own "base" before Meuller can go further imo.

Otherwise, the risk of great civil unrest is too great.

15. "perceived honesty"

LOL perceived honesty is what you get when drip, drip raises doubts, doubts

16. This fool is now a cornered animal. He will start a war just to boost his popularity. We should

All be terrified. This guy is an egomaniac and needs constant affirmation he is loved. The guy is surrounded by generals and he want to roll tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue.
