Is Trumps Base Beginning to Fray?

https://politicalwire.com/2017/10/30/trumps-base-beginning-fray/

"SNIP..........

First Read: “So Trump’s standing with independents and the middle of the electorate is Problem #1 for him in the NBC/WSJ poll. Problem #2 is the sign that his base is beginning to fray, even if it’s ever so slightly.”

“The drop in Trump’s overall approval rating — from 43 percent in September to 38 percent now — comes from independents, whites (who shifted from 51 percent approval a month ago to 47 percent now) and whites without a college degree (from 58 percent to 51 percent).”

Said it on sirius, and he's reliable. So, if he was 33 before the indictments, well, stick a fork in him. GOP house support errodes, and whammo, he'll be the scapegoat du jour.
