Rassy is and will always be trash, but this is amusing.

He's done. Republicans better pray for no recession within the next three and a half years or they'll get absolutely blown away.

Is it bad that I'm questioning to myself whether or not the man would even win this borough again?

Depends on the opponent.

I would love him to go under 35, but I'm dreaming

Could happen if he unilaterally pulls the Obamacare money.

[adrac]

Disapproval on 538 crests over 56% today for the all-time high.

And RCP will wait a few weeks before putting in the new poll, lol

Or if he fails in congress with tax reform and infrastructure as well. This would be the ultimative proff that the guy is a fraud and not the great deal maker he claims to be. And then, there is, of course, still Russiagate looming.

That's pretty bad. Staten Island is like middle America in a nutshell

Nah, Staten Island is super unrepresentative of anything except some other parts of the New York suburbs on Long Island and in New Jersey, and maybe parts of the Philly, Boston and Baltimore areas at a stretch.

Mitt Romney is a prophet. He was right about Russia and right about Donald Trump too. It was the voters who grievously harmed themselves by refusing to listen to him.

He's was even right about the entitled 47% who will vote for their party no matter what and refuse to take responsibility for what they do.

Gallup (July 31st)

Approve 37% (-/-)
Disapprove 59% (-/-)

Let's get that disapprove over 60% and keep it there.

Interestingly, Trump's unfavorable rating was also 59% on Election Day, according to the RCP average.

Favorables =/= approval

Barack Obama enjoyed much higher favorability ratings than approval ratings throughout his Presidency

[Tartarus Sauce]

Record low approval/high disapproval on 538's aggregate tracker today https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/

Currently averaging 37.8% approval and 56.7% disapproval.

In fairness, not quite all even the 47% voted for Trump. And if approval ratings are anything to go by, more will defect

I really only care about state polls, we desperately need more of them. Its ridiculous there has been like one poll of Pennsylvania since the election.

The States elect the President, and the People do not.

We have the Gallup composites for January to July, and they give a reasonable picture of how things were averaging in April in about thirty states. It's hard to see how the President could gain anywhere from April. The April composite is newer than very early polls in Arizona and Minnesota, among others.  We have a chaotic, corrupt Administration that is not solving its problems.  Any credible polls supplant the Gallup composites not because the Gallup composites are so much flawed as they are obsolete.

The 2020 Presidential election is nearly three years from starting. The only elections likely to matter are the Gubernatorial elections in several states (especially Florida, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) that may decide whether their states have honest elections and Democratic defenses of such Senate seats as they won in 2006 and 2012. The Democrats have about twenty possible nominees for President at this point.

Yes, I would like to see some more statewide polls. Who wouldn't?

Hard not to think at least *some* of this is the BCRA/ACA disaster in the Senate. A few GOPers losing their faith in "the Art of the Deal"
