Rasmussen is showing a decline in those who strongly approve of Trump's performance.

[Kaleva]

As of yesterday, it's at 26%. It was hovering around 40% at the beginning of his presidency. On the opposite side, there's been a steady increase since January in percentage of likely voters who strongly disapprove of Trump's performance. As of yesterday, it's at 49%.

1. Considering how 'right' skewed Razzie is...

this is probably even worse than they show.

If he's losing Rasmussen he's darn near dead, he just doesn't know it yet.

[Scoopster]

2. Rasmussen..

They literally bend over backwards skewing their polls just to keep him above 40% approval. They've been doing it for GOP candidates for decades.

[WePurrsevere]

11. Yes, they have but they can only tweak so much & remain relevant...

When enough on the right get ticked off it becomes harder to skew the data.... may it soon become impossible.

3. When the dirty money laundering comes out

Even SOME of the Deplorables will have had enough!

[Ilsa]

4. I think they won't care as long as it has nothing to do with

Drugs or child prostitution. If it was a Dem laundering dirty oil money, they'd be hysterical.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. Think it raises a very interesting point - what would it take? My inlaws are all

wingnuts. They have already accepted behaviors that they would have been absolutely apoplectic about had a Democrat done any of it.

His supporters are being programmed to think most of it is a lie. Or programmed to believe that 'boys will be boys' (his lewd remarks) and 'you don't understand - this is how a high-powered business man acts.' (playing the tax and judicial systems and making big sleazy deals). And 'Trump is trying to buck the system and everyone in power is against him now.'

So the ones who are orchestrating it all - know that these people are low information people and can be manipulated to think a certain way.

I really can't think of much, short of a tape where he claimed he murdered someone that might do it. If I can think of my inlaws and think about what bothers them most - its that someone could get something for nothing - like unemployment - like welfare - like cheaper healthcare. But, can't see how that could translate to Trump

[Ilsa]

10. Businessmen like trump were part of the problem

in the banking messes I worked on in the 1980s and '90s. They wanted 100% financing, didn't want to pay up on their personal guarantees, then expected another bank to take them on as borrowers. They loved watching their losses socialized, IOW, getting something for nothing.

Trump wasn't an honest player in the system.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Oh I agree - and for Trump, we have only seen what's public information now and it already

stinks to high heaven. But, from what I have seen, being now stuck in a very red place is that these people don't ever study up on anything - it's like not in their DNA or something. I have never heard anyone ever discuss a subject, analyze situations, take in information. I don't know if it's intellectual laziness or low intellectual capacity. Incredibly boring to be around.

[thucythucy]

13. "Low information" and bad information.

Yesterday at the supermarket checkout I saw the National Inquirer (owned by a Trump crony), something like "Hillary Framed the Trump Family!"

I know people will believe this is a bona fide story, and believe it to the day they die.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. And their "handlers" know that they won't actually research anything. That they will read their

stories - sensationalized and written on a third grade level - and that will be the end of it. It's like they prey on these people to make money and it works

[KingCharlemagne]

15. Your inlaws will require 25% unemployment and general economic collapse (see

January 1933) to shake them out of their stupor. Before we get to that point, Trump will dismantle the BLS (keeper of unbiased unemployment statistics), so they may never even realize how bad it really is.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. That is probably true - it would have to hit people they know work hard and want

desperately to work.

Hypocrisy abounds. To hell with people who get welfare or can't afford insurance (while they rake in their own generous government pensions and benefit from their high quality insurance that they only have because they worked for the National Guard).

And electrocute those people trying to sneak into our country...while they work to get their own beloved illegal ranch workers green cards.

[SDJay]

19. I've Read Somewhere

about allegations that Dump paid women off to have abortions. If that turns out to be true, that would be one thing that would turn some of the fundies against him. That's the biggest no-no out there for the religious right.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. That's a good one ! But, unless they had a tape of him telling them to, can't see them believing?

[SDJay]

24. True.

Even with the tape, they'd probably just scream, "FAKE NEWS! TAPE IS DOCTORED!" and still refuse to believe it. That's the problem with zealots: facts don't matter. They're going to believe what they want to believe no matter what.

[BlueStateBlue]

21. I've read that it's even worse than that

After gang raping young women (girls?) with his buddies, they literally threw cash on top of them and said 'Here. Go get an abortion if you get pregnant."

[Ilsa]

27. A big portion of those fundies don't mind abortion at all in

those circumstances. Remember, my abortion is different from yours! I have a good reason have one. You have abortions because you're a careless slut!

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. These things are nonlinear, and what sets off the rush for the exits is unpredictable

Trump, for all the articles stating that his supporters still love him, is a fad. He's a fidget spinner.

When the bottom falls out, and it will, it will be fast, and all at once. He's pretty much pushing the margin of deep unpopularity now.

[uponit7771]

28. As long as Red Don doesn't hug a brown skinned person the deplorable wont give a damn

[JustAnotherGen]

5. I'm sticking with 22% as the bottom for Trump

It's heading there though!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. How'd you come up with 22?

[JustAnotherGen]

25. February 2016 - Poll of his supporters

That's the number of his supporters polled that believed setting the slaves free was a bad idea.

Those are the die hard 'don't like the black, brown, Asian, middle eastern, homosexual, transgender, Jewish, Muslim, Roman Catholic' Americans.

They love their flag, their guns, their Jesus, and their white pride.

[uponit7771]

29. Close, Nixon was 24% after he basically admitted to a crime. Trumps 12% away from that

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Public opinion is slow to move but quick to finish

We're making progress!

[beachbum bob]

12. the support of trump is getting to the hardcore base support numbers now

and once overall approval hits low 30's, GOP will have some decisions to make before the 2018 democratic tidal wave

[Johnny2X2X]

14. The bottom is low

I think people overestimate the number of his voters that are totally gone. His floor is 15% at highest. Could be lower. He's losing his supporters quickly.

And here's the thing, like a scorned lover, these people who are "waked up" will turn on him vigorously. Some of the worst of them can be activists against Trump if we can reach them.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Maybe the hard core ones have shifted to another category we haven't seen

in politics to the extent it is today - those who think he's a slim bag - but are just staying silent about him and his antics. They are not "for" him but for his original campaign ideas now. I never hear anyone rave about how great he is - except for maybe Spicer and Huckabee

[gademocrat7]

23. Glad trump's numbers are sinking.

Could it be trumpers fear of losing their healthcare?

[awesomerwb1]

26. Could it be because they think he hasn't done enough

deportation of "brown" people? +

He hasn't ended DACA? +

He hasn't built the wall? +

Plus he hasn't been able to repeal Obamacare...yet?

Achieve one of the above and I think his numbers will normalize (or be normalized by Rasmussen).
