...it is amazing how he's doing everything possible to make himself unpopular.

If he wants the popularity he craves, then he needs to do the opposite. He needs to become a progressive.

GOP establishment are currently stroking his ego to keep him compliant, so he also plays to their wishes. The majority of Americans despise and mock him, so he wants to do what they hate. That pleases his fans and upsets those he calls his enemies (as in his New Year's tweet).

Bad news for Donald of Orange.

that his numbers are in the dirt. I frankly don't believe his numbers are even over 40% -- and wait until the shit really starts to hit the fan with the nightmare healthcare repeal (steal) and outrageous treatment of refugees and immigrants. And now Trump has a very friendly, very long phone convo with Putin while blatantly screwing over our allies like Mexico and even Great Britain.

Not to mention the thousands of federal jobs he is slashing when he was supposed to be the "jobs president" -- lmfao. Those poor people are suffering massively. Now he wants to slash national security jobs.

Exactly.

Fake News

All trump cares about is his ratings

"Donald Trump Has a Much Higher Approval Rating in Russia Than He Does in America, State Pollster Says"

https://themoscowtimes.com/news/poll-most-russians-dont-think-trump-will-be-a-bad-president-56919

damn what is being said any Democrats on this? We are in a crisis.

I hope and expect his approval ratings to keep going down.

He said he would do (leaving Russia & FBI's meddling out of the equation for now). This what the people wanted who voted for him. They wanted a tyrant who would rule with an iron fist and they got one. Let a Democratic governor shake a finger in his face. Let a congressman shout out "You lie!" during one of his addresses...and see how he handles it.

God forbid, let another mass killing take place on this soil and see how many tears he sheds over the lives lost. Lets see how he comforts the family of fallen soldiers when he meets their flag-draped coffins at Dover Air Base.

There is no compassion in him and the feckless idiots who have the majority in the senate and congress are so afraid he'll tweet something nasty about them and cause them to lose their seats that they'll sit around twisting on their thumbs while America burns to the ground literally and figuratively.

Your guilty conscience may move you to vote Democratic, but deep down you long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king.

Please get leaders names spelled correctly.

Misspelling a name can be construed as an insult.

We have enough of that.

Zero by the Ides of March maybe?

That ability left me on November 9th. Can't even look at Nate Silver.

Last night on Real Time, Rep Ryan (D) Ohio said 2 million votes were suppressed by the GOP in Ohio.

Ohio's demographics were favorable for Trump to overperform relative to Romney in 2012. If Hillary really won Ohio, she should have also won Iowa, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

"Suppressed" can mean fewer early voting days, stricter registration rules, etc.
Under that measure, Rep Ryan could easily be correct.

Michigan especially. And Wisconsin. And Ohio. And Florida.

I don't think "he" really won WI, MI, and PA, either.

National opinion polls were about one percentage point off, and Silver's projections were much more cautious about Hillary's chances -- and his reasoning for the caution was correct (correlated errors between similar states, wide error bars, etc.). The real losers were people who put Hillary's chances at close to 100%, like Sam Wang.

I wish I could believe that polls mattered. There is an undertow that is making polls, however accurate, look like icing on a pretend cake.

State polls are a completely different animal. National polls were spot-on - and that's what an approval poll is.
