due to the Summit being approved by half of Americans.
/sigh I feel like his approval is never going to drop at this point. The propaganda works too well and we have too many idiots in this country.

(4,379 posts)Trump voters loved Bush. What happened? Republican voters are very stupid people in general. They keep on repeating the same mistakes. They are looking for a savior that does not exist.

We have Republican "Jesus" prosperity mega churches all across the land spewing theocratic fascist lies and hate every Sunday.
TBH honest, I'm surprised that Dear Leader's approval numbers are not higher than they are!
So who speaks for us like that?? ...crickets...

A recent poll found that health care was a top issue for voters, and the pre-existing condition provision is the most popular provision of the law. Despite these facts, as well as the severity of the potential consequences, the unprecedented nature of the DOJs decision not to defend a federal law, and the fact that this is a reversal from past Trump statements, cable news spent hardly any time discussing the decision and the implications it could have for nearly 130 million Americans with pre-existing conditions.

(14,565 posts)I posted that the other day. All you have to do is sample balanced sites and see how the summit is being viewed. The simpletons love it. Those are the swing types.
If all you watch is MSNBC with Rachel asking what was the point of that, then naturally the real world won't intervene in your thinking.
Consequently I'm not upset at 43% although I would anticipate other polls showing more of an uptick.
Good news is that this is happening in June and not mid fall. Still plenty of time for Trump to find several topics to act/sound like himself and drop his numbers back down.
