Of the three states polled, Michigan has the highest percentage of voters who view Trump unfavorably, at 56%, with just 34% of voters holding a favorable view of the president.
And in Pennsylvania 54% disapproved of the president, with 35% approving of his performance, while in Wisconsin 56% disapproved of his performance with 34% approving, the polls showed.

The new polls also showed that just 25% of voters in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin said they felt proud of the president, and 28% of those polled in Michigan said the same.
The survey results showed a marked difference in the general opinion of the three states since the November election, when Trump became the first GOP candidate to take the three states since the 1980s.

We don't need a bunch of assholes who are still prostrating themselves before their beloved bunched-up asshole.

And, in some plants it would take a crew of four to run to get a pipe wrench.

Honestly, I do confess that most of those crazy men were very good craftsmen and they worked hard. Plus, back in those days politics was never discussed.

(14,492 posts)Some plants has secret hiding places high-up where guys could go sleep it off, usually a pile of cardboard in a secluded spot. Now, that's perks!
Also remember Blue Mondays in Germany where hardly anybody showed up after a Sunday holiday. I think that was enshrined in their constitution, LOL.
