Shattuck: President-elect’s popularity rising Americans like what they see so far
The Boston Herald ^ | 12-12-16 | Tom Shattuck

Tread carefully around liberals at this year’s non-denominational holiday office party, the polls just added insult to injury.

Donald Trump is getting more popular.

A new Bloomberg poll has his favorability at 50 percent, up a dramatic 17 points since August — and the poll finds 73 percent of Americans don’t mind him switching up his actual policy from his campaign statements. Gallup has him at 42 percent, over last month’s 34 percent. Public Policy Polling gives his favorability at 43 percent, up from 39 percent in September. The polls note he’s still way below many past incoming presidents. But the fact is more Americans like what they see in President-elect Trump.

At Saturday’s Army-Navy game, no one took a knee during the national anthem. And both teams cheered the president-elect.

Factory jobs, defiant phone calls with allies and celebrating our military. These are hopeful glimpses of what “Make America Great Again” means. America loves a winner, and it’s showing in the polls.

Not unexpected, after so many Americans have endured eight years of being told how great things are while having to work two part time jobs without benefits to make ends meet.

Great News!

I didn’t watch the first 55 game minutes of the Jets game because of Colin’s kneeling.

When I saw online the Jets were coming back, I wanted to see him beaten AGAIN so badly that I turned it on.

Dramatic score to tie at the end and OT touchdown defeated the anti American trash, Colin, once again.

I know my team is awful, but they beat the bad guy and that was good enough for me yesterday :)

Plus Bryce looks like a promising young QB.

Meanwhile, the Moslem-directed, al Qaeda-arming,
CIA will try to kill Present-Elect Trump.

They have already made that clear.

Well, it won’t be the first time they went after a president. RIP 1963.

The wife and I attended a Beach Boys concert in Sebring, FL last night. After the opening song, Mike Love did the usual ‘we’re so glad to be here’ spiel. He said, “This is the first time playing Florida since we elected a new president.”

The crowd, about 2,500, went nuts with cheering. Admittedly, they were mostly over 60 and pale faces. It caught Mike off guard. Not what he expected.

Would have been very awkward if Obama had been there - Trump folks would have blown his supporters out of the water in volume and length of cheers - not to mention booing Obama (as covertly as they could so he didn’t go after them....).

When I heard that ex-CIA agent and Obama waterboy Robert Baer had said on CNN yesterday that we might need to hold another election due to “Russian Interference™” it occurred to me that Trump’s lead would be even more overwhelming this time.

It also occurred to me that this must mean that Obama and the CIA don’t intend for Trump to be one of the candidates in this hypothetical 2nd election.

It has to be just killing Zero. I bet he is seriously PO’d at Hillary for losing.

"At Saturday’s Army-Navy game, no one took a knee during the national anthem. And both teams cheered the president-elect."

On a related note, this weekend Colin K. only passed for 133 yards and completed much less than 50% of his passes in losing to the hapless Jets. The worst QB on the worst team in the NFL and he get paid franchise bucks?

They just can't bring themselves to admit that he's popular and are doing everything to discredit him.

What a bitter pill for them to swallow.

I ***LOVE*** IT.
