2. The Rasmussen Poll, which is always skewed toward Conservatives. It's a 'friendly' poll.

3. When it gets down to the voters who actually voted for the clown

it'll be around 25 to 30%, or, if you ask SCROTUS, 70%

5. He will be in the low 30s by June.

That, I promise.

7. I don't know if he can go quite that low without a recession. There are too many people

who believe that he is somehow making America great again.

I can see him dropping to 35 percent if there are a few more scandals.

6. The Gallup tracking poll has had him at 40 percent for 5 straight days. (eom)
