Trump's Approval Rating Drops As His Mueller Report Lies Backfire

https://www.politicususa.com/2019/03/31/trump-approval-mueller-report.html/amp

"SNIP....

A new NBC News/WSJ poll found that instead of helping Trump, the president’s lies and exaggerations about the Mueller report are harming his approval rating.

NBC News reported:

According to a new NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll, 29 percent of Americans say they believe Trump has been cleared of wrongdoing, based on what they have heard about Mueller’s findings, while 40 percent say they do not believe he has been cleared.

But a third of Americans — 31 percent — say they’re not sure if Trump has been cleared. That includes nearly half of independents (45 percent) and about a quarter of both Democrats (27 percent) and Republicans (25 percent.)

…..

The narrative about the Mueller probe has also not significantly affected the president’s approval rating, which stands at 43 percent. Fifty-three percent of Americans disapprove of his job performance.

Which is not surprising. The vast majority of people likely made up their minds about him long ago.

... over and over and as often as Trump says no collusion. Wasn't TT Moscow collusion? Jr. taking the TT NY meeting collusion? Publicly calling out Ruskies if you're listening? Team Manafort sharing GOP polling data? Changing RNC policy in favor of Pukin?

Media needs to change the narrative and list all of the charges brought to date and what was done and not giving DJT so much air time.

Media created Trump with ruskies help, and media can accelerate this admins collapse and the Country will be safer.

And made them a lot of money in the process. I do not believe the corporate-owned, money grubbing media has the personnel with the autonomy to do unvarnished investigative reporting. The right owns Fox, Sinclair, Clear Channel AM radio (all 1200 stations and Armed Forces Radio).

An election cycle where the result is basically a foregone conclusion because one party has totally disgraced itself...or a neck-to neck horserace?

substantive change. They will acquiesce to the GOP, as the elites that control the power, do not want any change. They are reaping the benefits of an aggressive 45. Tax cuts, "conservative" judges, environmental regulation rollbacks, gutting education and health care and restoring white America. Listen to the "exoneration" BS and "the Dems have disgraced themselves".
