Psychotic Tommy Boy (without the charm and work ethic) through 2024. That's if the KFC and McDonald's don't finish the job before that. But in any case. It's pathetic to see anything above 25% approval. I am curious to see if he would pull his pants down in a press conference and flung his own shit around, literally. How these numbers would look.

and stay apprised of tRump’s utter failure as a leader, it shouldn’t surprise us that some people are still supporting him. (Even if it is tepid support.) I have worked with people who barely kept up with news because it was “boring” or they didn’t really understand what it was about. So they watched fluff and never watched a serious news program or read a newspaper or news magazine.

I also know of people who simply cannot take the stress of watching what he is doing and saying. My sister-in-law suffers with depression (to the point of having to take several medications for it) and she has told me it upsets her to watch the news. She does not like tRump and openly criticizes him to me but just cannot watch the day to day antics he does. So therefore she is often very unaware of some of his more dangerous talk and tweets. I imagine there are many more like her that cannot keep up with what he does in an effort to preserve their own mental health. I myself have taken short breaks, but since I know he is a “madman” usually cannot stay away for very long.

And then there are those who supported him, voted for him and get almost all their news from Fox and even supplement their “knowledge” with Newsmax or Breitbart. They liked him enough to vote for him and get news “facts” to support their faith in him. So if you never get anything that challenges what you already believe, voila! You think he is doing ok. For those people, nothing short of a nuclear device going off somewhere in the US will shake them out of their tRump coma.

So for me, that explains a lot about how tRump continues to have people who think he is doing an ok job. As time goes on, I believe even some of his more ardent supporters will get wind of how bad he is as President but I am not willing to bet the farm that it will be very soon.

What we need to be worried about is whether CONGRESS will get up off of their dead asses and rid us of this menace in the White House before he gets all of us incinerated. Polls are nice and all that. But they won’t solve our immediate problem: we have an incompetent madman in the White House.

In other words, he's at 50% counting by states, and he's close to 50% (43%) counting people.

This country is irredeemable.

That 43% number is way too high, and the original January favorable number is as well.

These results bear little resemblance to other polls, including even Rasmussen.
