Paris backlash starting to kick in??

I doubt that, although I don't really know why his numbers started sliding again.

I recall a poll that 70% of Americans opposed leaving the Paris Agreement. World leaders condemned it, and state governors started to ignore and bypass Trump's decision. Which maybe makes him look weak and ineffective??

The last time Trump lost 2% in a single day in a Gallup poll was right after he fired Comey btw.

Gallup at 36-59

It's 36/58, actually.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/201617/gallup-daily-trump-job-approval.aspx

A decrease and increase of 1% each in both the approvals and disapprovals compared to yesterday.

His worst ever Gallup approval/disapproval was 35/59 on March 28, shortly after AHCA had crashed and burned for the first time. So, today's approvals are Trump's second-worst Gallup numbers ever.

[Middle-aged Europe]

I suspect he could recover to 40% or so till the middle of the week, until he starts to drop again after the Comey testimony on Thursday.

Nothing to see here. Too early to see any impact from Comey testimony. That's tomorrow or the day after.

Vindication REVOKED

[Middle-aged Europe]

Trump at 36/59 in Gallup

Vindication DENIED.

As a general rule, if you're under investigation, changing your story about every two hours makes you look guilty as hell. Trump was "totally vindicated" by Comey's testimony. Except for the parts of the testimony were Comey called Trump a liar and implied that he had committed obstruction of justice, which happened to be untrue. Despite those lies, Comey was still a "leaker", meaning that he probably had leaked lies to the public. Except that he didn't, because Trump's own son went public and announced that Comey was indeed fired because of the Russia investigation. Except that that didn't constituted obstruction of justice, for some reason. Confused yet?

Worst Gallup disapproval ever, second-worst Gallup approval ever.

Tied with March 28 (35/59) as the worst all-time Gallup net approval.

[Middle-aged Europe]

It's Day 144 of the Trump presidency. Here are the Gallup net approvals of U.S. presidents 144 days (or the closest approximation) after their term had started.


Truman +73 (82/9)
Johnson +63 (75/12)
Kennedy +63 (74/11)
Bush Sr. +56 (70/14)
Eisenhower +54 (69/15)
Nixon +47 (63/16)
Carter +44 (63/19)
Reagan +31 (59/28)
Obama +30 (61/31)
Bush Jr. +20 (55/35)

Ford -2 (37/39)
Clinton -12 (37/49)
Trump -24 (36/60)

History probably does have a sense of irony too, because Richard Nixon reached 60% disapproval for the first time ever in late October 1973. The Saturday Night Massacre had occurred on October 20.

Trump surge!

Great president or greatest president?

Trump bouncing up and down, up and down with Gallup.

Pretty much typical post-Trumpcare collapse numbers we are accustomed to by now.

What was his worst Gallup approval?

35/59 and 36/60.

The first numbers are from March 28, four days after the initial attempt at holding a vote on Trumpcare in the House had collapsed for the first time.

The second numbers are from June 12, four days after James Comey's testimony before the Senate Intel Committee.

NYC is obviously the most real part of Real America, because Donald Trump was born and raised there. And who's more American than Trump?

It has been for a long time he's between 35-40 now right?

July 11 was the last time he had a Gallup approval above 39%. This was right after he had returned from the G20 summit.

Glorious, marvelous, flawlessly beautiful 60% disapproval.

Now go to 61%, please. Because this is in fact the second time he ever managed to reach a 60% disapproval in a Gallup poll. We need a new all-time high here.

[Middle-aged Europe]

I actually don't. I want him to be in office during the midterms, and if he's removed too quickly, the GOP could plausibly say "we had no idea this lunatic was going to be this bad" and there's a non-negligible chance that voters forget all about it by the time of the next election. The GOP needs to reap what it sowed with Trump.

On the contrary, I think impeachment/removal from office could destroy the GOP's majorities for the next 2 or so cycles.

Doubtful, while Nixon hurt the GOP in 1974, by 1976 he'd stopped hurting them and they lost no Senate seats. 76 was generally an election that favored incumbents, no matter the party.

^^

I'm not sure about that. Nixon wasn't really marked by controversy in 1968 or 1972.

When Trump was nominated in 2016, a lot of people said that it was bad idea and that he was unfit to serve as president both due to a lack in character and a lack in experience. And most Republicans went along with supporting Trump's candidacy anyway. And if Trump eventually blows up, they could face the blame for it.... that back then, they ignored the criticism, the outrage, and the all the early warning signs and went along with supporting him anyway.
