The man really just builds his support around stupid white guys

He represents everything alot of men wish we were.

Famous, on TV shows, in films, cameo appearances from Wrestlemania to The Jeffersons. More gorgeous women then most men will ever make love to in our lives. Money beyond belief. A gorgeous wife, beautiful successful surprisingly down to Earth children. Wonderful grandchildren. Mansions and casinos and private jets. Now he's topped it off by being the President of the United States.

Who WOULDN'T want to be Donald Trump? I sure as hell would love to be in his shoes.

Your support for Trump is a consequence of your own insecurities? What a surprise.

I would be quieter as a businessman, I would have much different taste in furnishings, I would be better read, and I would be a very different President.

Sure? Why not? If African Americans can have "emotional investment" in Barack Obama, why can't I have it in Donald Trump?

When he had a Christmas time victory tour rally, after he defeated Hillary Clinton in December, he went on a mini-rant about how Time's "PERSON OF THE YEAR" used to be called "MAN OF THE YEAR". I stared at the CNN screen and thought, "Oh my God, it's me." LOL

There are far better white males in which to have an 'emotional investment' than Donald Trump. I prefer political leaders who act 60 (like Barack Obama) to those who act 20 (like Trump).

I tried that with George W. Bush and John McCain and Mitt Romney but you guys all treated them just as badly.

Why are you liberals so mean to my favorite war criminal

So much for the tolerant left.

[pbrower2a]

Mitt Romney would be a huge improvement over Donald Trump. Americans should have heeded his advice about Donald Trump a year ago.

"For we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs."

This is the most pathetic thing I've ever read in my life. I sh**t you not.

You should be proud to have a Republican President from your state of New York.

Wrestlemania? Not impressed, as I would never watch the show. I'll take happy obscurity over dubious fame any day. Money beyond belief? A true test of character is that one does not need a huge amount of money for validation of the Self. Second wife, and he has paid for some abortions. Again, if one is ditching spouses when they no longer look like centerfolds, one has a problem of loyalty. Lots of people in all classes have wonderful grandchildren. A mansion? not needing one is more evidence of being down-to-earth. Casinos? You know those -- places in which to fleece suckers. That's not my taste. A private jet? A reasonable investment if one is rich and has practical uses for one, like examining one's oil or ranching interests.

If by some chance I had become President, I would have done so as a conventional politician -- city councilman to Mayor to Congressional Representative to Senator in the meantime. Maybe through the lower house of the State legislature to the Upper House through Governor. I am a poor speaker mostly because I have a slow cadence and a pitch in the baritone range that easily gets drowned out.  That also precludes Asperger's, which has me.

So you want to be an old fat white man who is a trust fund baby who angrily lashes out at people and is married to a woman who is solely there so she can inherit his money when he dies and you revere a sexual harasser.

Apparently to you getting laid, being rich, and getting away with ripping off people is the good life.

Trump seems to have SLIGHTLY (maybe noise) to around 41-43% approval. Still piss poor, but not apocalyptic.

Some sort of victory could maybe short term push him to 45%, but Calfiornia alone will keep him below 50% ever in ratings.

In fact, harry enten estimates that if a republican doesn't do better than 35% in california and still wins the WH, he/she will never be above water in approval rating.

Doesn't bode well for the GOP. It means Trump is also below 35% in California, which mirrors his 32% vote share in there.

I wonder if this poll sheds some light on recent special elections. The enthusiasm gap is huge, but the actual generic ballot question is only giving Democrats a 6% lead. This sounds like a lot, but not so much after you consider that Democrats tend to underperform that poll. It's nothing like the 2006/2008 numbers.

My point being that recent special elections clearly show a lot of enthusiasm, which has helped narrow the gap, but enough of the public hasn't turned against Republicans yet to flip the possibly flip the House next year. Though, not to say that I don't think this poll can get to where we need by next October.

A 6 point generic House ballot lead for the Dems actually isn’t much different from the “disapprove” minus “approve” spread on Trump’s job approval in this very poll (which is 7 points, not far off from the HuffPo average).  So I wouldn't say that people have turned on Trump more than the GOP as a whole so much as that they haven't done so in sufficient numbers.  The GOP simply has a significant structural advantage in the House, such that the Dems winning the national popular vote by 7 points just isn't enough for them to get a majority of seats.  Never mind "underperforming" a 6 or a 7 point lead, if that's where they're polling.  They can straight up win nationally by 7 points, and it's not enough for a House majority.

I wonder if it is enough for getting 45% in Gallup if Trump just shuts the f%%k up (=no scandals of Obama-tapped-my-phones level).

Trump is truly king of the the low expectations

P.S. It just might be a noise; I know that.

When he's quiet, he's around 43-45... when he's loud, he's at or below 40.
