Well, so far we're not seeing this at all.

While its to early to discount this tweet, Dworkin should usually be taken with a grain of salt.

It seems like the incident in Charlottesville is rallying Republicans around the president.  They seem to do so whenever they feel the media is besieging him.

We've seen no evidence of that either.

[Crumpets]

IMHO, the best explanation for Trump's mini-bump post-Charlottesville is that he was basically at a floor in terms of voters who care about not being sympathetic to white supremacists, and he managed to gain back a few alt-righters who were against him after the Syria bombings and a couple other small stories that nobody outside of the fringe really cared about. Plus, I think we should definitely wait until tomorrow to get the full picture, since what we've seen so far has really been the polling of Saturday-Monday, without getting the post-Tuesday stuff.

[Tintrlvr]

I think the answer is that it's just noise, and that Gallup has moved all around over the course of a few days when nothing in particular was happening so no surprise that that has continued to be the case even when there is a big news story. If Trump touches 40% again, I might feel otherwise, but for now it's still just noise.

[Tartarus Sauce]

Keep in mind that no poll has truly captured the full effects of Tuesday's fallout yet, and the removal of Bannon is another event whose consequences could cost Trump some support. We'll have a better idea of where things are heading after the weekend.

[Tekken_Guy]

Not sure if Bannon's removal will help or hurt.

I heard about what Heather's mom had to say about Trump. I feel she may turn his base against him more than his own comments could. When people see they're standing against the side of Heather's mom, they'll show a change of heart.

Honestly, even I'm having second thoughts about him.

[Tekken_Guy]

There is one really big takeaway from today's OpinionSavvy poll.

66% of people strongly disapproved of Trump's comments. There's no partisan breakdown, but disapproval is certainly much higher among Democrats than Republicans.

Are Working People Trolls for Democrats?

No, they're dwarves. The socially liberal, fiscally conservative are elves.

I think it would be more likely to hurt him. People who know/care who Bannon is likely fall into two camps- 1. People who hate Bannon/Trump and use him as a boogeyman. They obviously won't start liking Trump just because he fired him. 2. People who read Breitbart and are Bannon fans. Most of them will probably stick with Trump, but he may lose some of them.

Your point? Its OK to say the n-word now?

At this point, his real approval is probably more like 45%-50%. When it comes to issues where liberals try to "shame" the racism, people will obviously start lying to pollsters. I don't believe a single person outside the coastal establishment "turned on" Trump in the last week. Heck, I oppose Trump and thought his comments were fine.

I assume this is just conjecture because there is 0 proof Trump's approval rating is being underestimated. In fact, it sounds abit paranoid. Liberals are not lying in order to lower Trump's approval ratings. That theory sounds straight from info wars.

National polls, just like these national approval ratings, were pretty accurate. Wisconsin's polling failure does not equate to liberals lying.


Again, these seem like arguments taken directly off of right wing twitter.

Tennessee: PPP, Aug 11-13, 663 RV

Approve 51%
Disapprove 42%

Sen. Corker approval is 34/47 (but he still wins against Generic Democrat 47/37).

PPP also has a national poll in the field this weekend.

Trump falls to new low of 25 percent approval rate in California poll

I don't see how he possibly wins the PV in 2020 with approvals like that.

I wish California secession would gain more traction. When will Californians realize the rest of the country hates them and they have no real representation.
