A little bit of good news: Trump's Gallup rating is down to 44%

Just one poll but it's the one the press pays the most attention to, although I haven't heard them mention it yet today on the news. Down from 47% last time and 49% after impeachment, his highest ever.

Here's hoping it keeps falling. If it's under 40% I'll feel better going into the election.

How is this possible? How can 44% of Americans look at this dumpster fire and say, "Yeah! That's what I want!"

and I felt this was a prank. This is not good news. It's disturbing his approval is that high. Even Bush's approval dropped down around 37 percent during the financial crisis. It shows that he now has a cult following that is willing to follow him through the fire.

It will only take the dow to regain a few thousand points and it's a close race again.

I hope gallup have their samples wrong.

I think 2020 will be record turnout.

The last few times I have looked, I haven't seen it.

Is it because they judge the poll as unreliable? I don't think so, because they have some other questionable polls included.
