Has Anyone Else Noticed the Huge Drop in Trump's Numbers in the Past Few Days?

[louis c]

In the past 5 days or so, the combined numbers for the Moron in Chief have gone from a net minus 14.1 to a net minus 19.2 in 538's combined polling. That includes the Rasmussen, Trump leaning poll that has the Moron at 43%.

I think that Trump fatigue is setting in and that Republicans who at least "think" they're sane and moving away from him.

In addition, many rural Americans are not seeing the changes Trump promised and are starting to realize they were conned. Not all of them, yet, but his strength, even in these demographics, is starting to wane.

1. No one can take 4 years of this crap.

[spanone]

9. and no country can take 4 years of this crap.

[lindysalsagal]

2. His voters were disgruntled and resentful: It's impossible to avoid being the next dartboard for the

them: They want everything without paying for it, or tolerating the implications. So, it seems like it's 100% inevitable that they'll eventurally turn on the idiot.

[Sneederbunk]

3. People know crazy when they see crazy.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

11. Evidently then, the people

who voted for drumpf, with all that was known of him pre-election, don't possess mirriors.

[Hoyt]

4. Problem is, many of the disgruntled want more people deported, bigger budget cuts

to essential programs, repeal of ACA, nuking Iran and NK, and worse. This is not necessarily a positive sign.

[FakeNoose]

15. You're talking about the one-percenters

They're rich enough to hire their own lobbyists and PR people.

Everybody else is poor, scared, disgusted and getting impatient. OK I know some of his supporters are racists and white supremacists, too. But they're nowhere near as verbal as they were a year ago. They're starting to figure Cheeto's game-plan out, I think.

[Doodley]

27. I heard my mother-in-law who lives on social security and medicare and doesn't have any assets

say that Donald Trump is planning to do great things with healthcare. As long as there is Fox News and Limbaugh there are misinformed people, even if they are poor.

[Doreen]

33. Yes, he is going to do great things with healthcare but people

like your mother-in-law aren't part of it at all. I am in the exact same boat as she is and I do not see a future in front of me because of it.

[sharedvalues]

19. They're brainwashed by Fox, Limbaugh

Unless we break through that bubble, the country will swirl farther down the toilet.

We all should tell our friends and family that Fox and Limbaugh are propaganda and they must stop watching, if they care about the country. Only personal interactions can convey that message - that GOP billionaires and ratings-chasers tell lies to make money and get votes for GOP billionaires.

[FakeNoose]

29. Well sure

Who do you think has been paying Rush Limbaugh all these years? The guy is worth over $500 million and I'll guarantee you he didn't make that on a radio DJ salary. Most of his listeners don't even have $500.

[Mr. Ected]

5. I wish this was true, but I have my doubts

Undoubtedly he will hold on to his hard-core base, no matter what.

I live in a rural area in the South, and the vast majority are Trump fans.

Their gripe is with the REPUBLICANS in Congress, not Trump. They still view Trump as the outsider trying to bring their values and a businessman's acumen to Washington. They see McConnell, Ryan & Co. as traitors to their beliefs and their cause.

My mind goes numb when I hear them talk among themselves. They are blind to the truth.

[SoCalMusicLover]

6. Not Going To Go Much Lower

There is a varied core of roughly 30% who will support and stand by Drumpf NO MATTER WHAT.

Seriously, if Drumpf went to 5th Ave. and started shooting people, 30% will call it "fake news," and stand by their guy.

[Major Nikon]

12. Nixon made it to 24%

Trump is getting ever closer to those numbers.

[SoCalMusicLover]

14. Times Are Different Now

Much more partisan than the 70's. I can't see it ever getting that low, even if he shoots someone.

[Yonnie3]

18. If Faux starts to dis him then it will fall.

A lot of his base gets all their "news" from Faux.

[Major Nikon]

24. I think the difference is there's a tipping point

If he is still fucking up by the numbers by the midterms, the GOP will have to decide if they want to swirl the bowl with Trump.

[rufus dog]

7. I noticed a former supporter going off on him last week

It was due to his Puerto Rico press conference. I responded tossing paper towels was a bigger asshole move. Regardless some have taken off the blinders.

[wasupaloopa]

8. I keep hearing the Repubs are turning on Trump but I see little

more than talk

[Yonnie3]

10. Yes, I noticed a drop.

I wouldn't call it a huge one, yet. The graph bounces around a lot. Lets see if it continues.

I follow the likely/registered voter one closely. It seems a little different than the graph of all polls.

53/41.5 (-11.5) September 24th and 55.3/40.0 (-15.3)today. A much bigger spread was back in early August 57.6/36.3 with a -21.3. I'll cheer when I see that again. I am still astounded that 40% can approve of him.

fivethirtyeight.com gives Rasmussen a lower weight in their averages, so its effect is reduced.

I haven't seen the effing moron mention a poll in a long while. It's ratings isn't it? He values ratings bigly.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Could be an avalanche soon. Republicons are muttering and it only takes a few to start stampede.

tRump might be impeached before he reaches Jan 20, 2018.

[FakeNoose]

30. From your mouth to God's ear

It can't come soon enough for us on DU!

[not fooled]

16. Beating up on poor people and POC

being incompetent and wrecking the Federal Government are all A-OK with his supporters but start threatening WWIII and nuclear armageddon and a lot more of the morans are going to question their support for this madman.

[Cryptoad]

17. Kick and R

[drray23]

35. so the slope is about 1 % decline per month

if you draw a trendline through the green approval data it seems to be dropping at about 1 % a month.

[global1]

20. Could This Be The Quiet Before The Storm That....

Trump was talking about?

[Stuart G]

21. I truly believe is that Trumps numbers will go as low as Nixon..but much quicker, perhaps lower.

By the end of the first year, Trump will be in the 20s, maybe 27 or 8..or lower...Why? We all found out that Nixon was a big liar, but it took 6 years...Trumps true nature is known now. Some do not believe that he is as bad as he is. But most, yes most. (75 percent) will come around to see Trump for what he really is. And that 25 percent, would never believe the truth. But the rest of us, well we will al see the truth..yes all Trump will thought of as the most incompetent president, ever. Like we see him now, but most will come to see it. That is the truth.

[Dan]

22. sadly, I don't trust the polls anymore

[Ilsa]

23. Spoke briefly with a conservative trump voter

the other day. Her face went from happy to sullen. She said she voted for him for business reasons, but she didn't like him personally. She must be exhausted if she has paid attention to even half of the shitshow going on.

[Takket]

32. Did you ask her what business reasons

Guided her to vote for someone with multiple bankruptcies?

[Ilsa]

34. She was hoping he would get tax and reg relief

to small businesses. It was fun seeing her expression change to anger and frustration over him.

[edbermac]

25. Just more Fake News.

Didn’t you get Donald’s memo?

[dubyadiprecession]

26. Trump's base is having sobering thoughts about his inability to govern and are losing hope.

[Doodley]

28. It will reach a point in which many people will feel it is socially unacceptable to support Trump.

Then the numbers will tumble rapidly.

[Vogon_Glory]

31. Rural Americans Still Haven't Thought Through The Consequences Of Trump's Victory

If they'd thought of what Trump and the Republicans want to do to Medicare and the subsidies that keep so many rural hospitals open, they'd be trembling in their boots.

[NCDem777]

38. The problem is we've spent roughly 10 months on Russia conspiracy theories

instead of showing those consequences

[Willie Pep]

36. Trump is obviously incompetent.

Plus most of his big legislative pushes have involved things like taking health care away from Americans and tax cuts for the rich. Some of the populists who voted for him thinking he was some champion of the working man/woman are now starting to see how they were duped.

[NCDem777]

37. As a whole the DNC's poll numbers ain't exactly much better

so how do we capitalize on it? We've spent 10 months ranting about Russia and pushing for impeachment pipedreams that will never, ever happen. It lost us most of the national special elections. Whether we think Russia helped Trump or not is irrelevant. Russia is a losing issue. It won't win unaffiliated voters.

Maybe we should, and here are some amazing thoughts,

Say nothing about Russia and talk about the things that actually affect people day to day. Let me offer one example.

Trump is trying to make it harder to sue nursing homes for beating up residents. Big issue in Florida.

http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/353876-house-democrats-plead-for-right-of-residents-to-sue-nursing-homes

Yet no Maddow stories on that. DNC should be posting pictures of scummy nursing homes all over the media. TV ads, billboards, twitter with a big ass caption: "TRUMP IS ENABLING THIS!" Especially in Florida.
