AP-GfK Poll: Majority of Americans fear Trump presidency

NEW YORK (AP) — More than half the country fears a Trump presidency. And only about a third of Americans believe he is at least somewhat qualified to serve in the White House.

In the final sprint to Election Day, a new Associated Press-GfK poll underscores those daunting roadblocks for Donald Trump as he tries to overtake Hillary Clinton.

Moreover, most voters oppose the hard-line approach to immigration that is a centerpiece of the billionaire businessman's campaign. They are more likely to trust Clinton to handle a variety of issues facing the country, and Trump has no advantage on the national security topics also at the forefront of his bid.

Trump undoubtedly has a passionate base of support, seen clearly among the thousands of backers who fill the stands at his signature rallies. But most people don't share that fervor. Only 29 percent of registered voters would be excited and just 24 percent would be proud should Trump prevail in November.

I think it is the security thing that cashiers take off using a special tool after they ring up your purchase. If it is not removed, the beeper at the door goes off when you walk out.

It’s a security dye tag, that, if removed, will spray permanent ink on the person and clothing.

Voters used to be scared of Ronald Reagan. After he showed at the debate he was a nice, aw-shucks guy with humility and a sense of humor, their qualms melted away.

As along as Trump shows he is nothing to be afraid of, Americans’ qualms about him too, will melt away. Its like the Left is scared of an affable, friendly Trump.

From their point of view, that would be a disaster. Even worse than a Hildabeast meltdown.

Jonathan and Emily, authors of this tripe, you should be ashamed.

Here’s the title of some recent AP/Gfk polls:

Deplorable? Trump more so than Clinton, AP-GfK poll finds

Biggest bunch of horseshit I’ve read today. Trump is packing stadiums for his speeches, Hillary can barely get a couple hundred losers to come see her.

I blame the last 8 congresses. President cannot destroy the country unless Congress goes along. Anyone looking at the last 8 years would think the president is a king.

AP- American Propaganda

Just in time for the debate I see. They’re in total panic right now. Honestly, I believe the lefties all thought Bush or Cruz would be the nominee. I think in the back of their minds they feared Trump would unleash a populist wave of support in this country for his candidacy, and he has of course.

Trumpophobia is a media creation.

If people were really afraid of a Trump presidency, he wouldn’t be sitting atop the polls.

Journalists and liberals are projecting their fears of a Trump presidency onto the country.

Neat stage trick.

The problem is the magic “Race Card”. The proper answer is I don’t care if you call me a racist. If politicians stop ruining from it like scared chickens it would soon lose its effect.
