Trump's Low Favorable Rating May Catch Up with Him

[DonViejo]

Amy Walter: “Donald Trump has never been well liked. His unfavorable ratings hovered in the 60 percent range for the entirety of the campaign. He was the most unpopular person elected president in modern history. Of course, his opponent was almost equally as unpopular. In the end, lots of voters had to make a choice between two people they disliked. Trump won that fight.”

“But, that won’t be the choice for voters in 2018. Hillary Clinton won’t be on the ballot. It will be a referendum on Trump. The more unpopular he and/or his policies are, the harder it is for his party to succeed in 2018. The good news for Trump today, his unfavorable ratings are 18 points lower than they were in June of 2015. The bad news, he’s still underwater.”

1. His favorability doesn't seem to be moving much. RCP average shows 42.4% favorable, 50% unfavorable

2. I'm really sick of hearing that Hillary was "equally as unpopular".

She was tremendously popular until the GOP goons went into campaign attack mode.

3. Not Low Enough

These polls show that a bit over 40% of us are fruit loops crazy. That is wrong and just plain scary.

5. Naw the Business Republicans Just Want Their Tax Breaks

....and basically will put up with any lunatic to get them. Those people are better described as selfish. They don't actually like Trump-they are embarrassed of him

6. His base still think he's doing a GREAT job

I can't see his rating falling lower than 30-40% unless he really screws something up.
