WaPo: The brutal numbers behind a very bad month for Donald Trump

[ailsagirl]

=snip=

Not only are Trump's poll numbers slipping, they are at a low that no one, Republican or Democrat, has seen in the past three election cycles. Looking at the window of time between 200 and 100 days before each of those elections, you can see that Trump has consistently polled worse than George W. Bush in 2004, John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012...

***A number of very telling graphs in story. Here's one:

4. Let's HOPE!!!!!!!

Fingers crossed. Articles such as these do wonders for my mood, though I won't breathe freely until it's all over.

2. This chart is depressing

3. I know... I hate to think of what's going to occur between now and November

But, according to the charts, it looks good for us Dems!!

5. You mean for the ones who aren't shot

I expect to see at least a couple more mass shooting incidents related around hot-button issues that Republicans have been stirring the shit over. As the election approaches, and the paranoia is ramped up, and the moral panic is intensified, and the despair over falling poll numbers starts to sink in, more gun huggers are going to lose their marbles.

People are going to be killed because of Trump's and the Republicans' panic-mongering. It's already happened.

6. Fucking hell

I knew things were bad but I didn't imagine they were this bad. I had no idea he was so far behind McCain and Romney in polling and had spent nothing on ads yet. That is mind blowing

7. Nothing like a graph to put things in perspective!

The Washington Post is fast becoming my favorite news site.

8. I'm sure they are going to rip Trump apart after he blacklisted them

He kicked Politico out and they have since been ripping his to shreds everyday. Seems that the Washington Post is going down the same route. And good for them because fuck that fascist asshole.

But I agree. I am a very visual learner. Graphs always help to drive a point home for him. You just have to be cautious, some people are very good at fucking with graphs to make them obscure the truth. Like this example from Fox "News"

9. oh yes-- we know how faux news operates!!

I do trust the Washington Post. They don't slant the news, IMO. They don't need to!

No one has to slant drumpf's behavior!! It's despicable to anyone who is intelligent, has a moral compass, and a sense of decency.

He's an utter disgrace.

I wish he'd step down.
