Trumps Approval Rating Collapses To 39% With Independents
https://www.politicususa.com/2020/04/16/trump-approval-rating-independents.html
"SNIP.....
Trumps job approval rating has fallen six more points overall and an additional four points with Independents, when he is at 39% approval.
Via Gallup:
The six-point decline in the presidents approval rating is the sharpest drop Gallup has recorded for the Trump presidency so far, largely because Trumps ratings have been highly stable and have yet to reach the historical average for presidents (back to 1945) of 53%.
.
Since the mid-March poll, Trumps job approval rating has fallen six points among Democrats (to 7%) and four points among independents (to 39%). Higher approval ratings among those groups helped fuel the short-lived rally in approval for Trump. Republicans evaluations of Trump have been highly stable throughout 2020 and currently sit at 93% approval.
Trumps decline comes at the same time that approval of Congress has reached a ten year high of 30%.

Yes, it is mostly red in the rural areas - but it is changing and I feel strongly that we will defeat the turtle this fall.
Racism and stupidity are everywhere.

I was not clear, but I was referring to the subset of people that are in fact backwash.
A lot of old school southern democrats that never got around to switching to the racist fascist party.

(18,672 posts)I've never known an independent who votes other than Republican. I'm sure they're out there, but I've never met them.

(81,527 posts)You can claim you're an "independent" in conversation and then you won't have to endure any dirty looks or arguments or criticism that would result from saying you're GOP.
Many of us are NOT fooled, though.
I find myself starting to think of that particular label more along the lines of "Independent-My-ASS." (Yeah, RIGHT. You say you're an independent because you're too chicken to admit you're a republi-CON in public anymore.)

(729 posts)& is left of at least 40%+ of the members here. He has NEVER nor EVER will vote republican. I am NOT being histrionic when I say he's prefer to sacrifice FOOD & this dude doesn't miss a meal unless he's dealing with Cholera. Vibirosis, (Had that last June & July) & Dysentery, trust me. Not ALL IND., just like not all DEMOCRATS think alike, hell, they're are a few patriotic GOP's running around.
BTW, he's NEVER been a fan of the gop.
