A new Roanoke College poll find found that 53% of potential Virginia voters said they disapproved of President Trump’s job performance, while just 27% said they approved — a new low.

“The president has been a drag on Republicans in statewide elections since 2016. This year is especially significant because all 140 seats in the General Assembly are on the Nov. 5 ballot. Democrats hope to take control of the legislature, with Republicans defending razor-thin majorities of 20 to 19 in the Senate and 51 to 48 in the House of Delegates, with one vacancy in each chamber.”

Said the GOP enthusiasm is high. Boy, I hope not. I can see his base's enthusiasm is high, in the sense of "how high must they be to still like him". But the rest of the GOP? On MSNBC, someone (gee, swiss cheese brain here... I knew a minute ago who said it) pointed out that no matter what Trump says, the real GOP approval rating for Trump is 79%, which means a 5th of GOP voters disapprove. That's a start.

I just fall into the pit of despair. I don't think we can take another Trump term. The country will have a collective nervous breakdown.
