25% of Michigan and Wisconsin voters are "proud of" Trump! YEAH! Take THAT, haters! MAGA!

New polls show Trump’s popularity collapsing in key states



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.

Fuck them. In terms of electoral numbers, we don't need them. We're better served by working to reverse the disenfranchisement of eligible voters denied at the polls and to convince more people that voting is in their best interest.

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

There's way more sensible people that don't vote that need to than we can hope to scrape off the crud of the right wing by changing policy to entice them.

I recall working in a mill in WI long ago and the subject of Saturday work came up. The reply I got from my helper was" "Nope, I've got serious beer drinking planned for Saturday". And that was that.

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

And, not to mention long drunken snowmobile rounds of bar-hopping on the WI trail system. The most serious hunting phobia I recall was in Wyoming during elk season. May as well shut down the whole damn state! We won't discuss Steelers game days in PA.

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.

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.
