Two polls confirm Trump's numbers are cratering! Blue Wave after all?

Many knew it would happen. Others were more skeptical than some. Did Donald Trump have a permanent 40% floor? Were his supporters immutable? Two new polls, not outliers, confirm that in fact, the president may have finally caused even some of his most die-hard fans to snap.

about Session's accent should really piss off many of his base, but they just have to eat shit and take it. No way those kind of people can now admit they were duped.

We had a former President who's messing around really pissed me off. I clearly remember thinking, great, we finally get a Democrat in there and we have to hear about this crap. Of course that was a joke compared to everything coming out about Trump. If all we had on Trump was that, there wouldn't be impeachment talk going on. If I was pissed off at our guy back then, I know they have to secretly be pissed now.

There is about 34% that are so devoid of common decency and common sense that nothing changes their world view. I've seen it for years. That is what we can hope his numbers get to so that we can take him out of the WH.

There's absolutely no reason for him to have approval numbers above 25%. No reason whatsoever. One other positive factor is the drop in his support from males, down 9 points. I assume these are mostly white males. Men of color have stayed away from him from the get-go. Maybe men are starting to tire of his childish macho bullshit.

numbers to remain low for a few weeks before saying his numbers are "cratering", more important is the reflection on the generic ballot, if democrats can hit the 50% plateau, that has some TRUE menaing
