Trump base shows signs of cracking
The Hill ^ | May 20, 2017 | Niall Stanage

President Trump's previously resilient base is showing signs of cracking.

A new Reuters/IPSOS tracking poll, released Friday afternoon, showed the president with a job approval rating of 75 percent among Republicans.

Political professionals generally view it as worrying for any commander-in-chief if his approval ratings with his own party dip below 85 percent - and downright alarming if they go below 80 percent.

"Seventy-five [percent] is certainly a new number and I would want to see something that would either back that up or refute it," said GOP pollster David Winston, whose resumé includes work for former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.). "Certainly, if it were true, that is not where you would want to be."

We were running low on fake news so we rigged a poll ... now we've got enough new material to go for another 72-hours or so ...

When Obama was in office, the Dems didn’t give a flaming sh&* about the birth certificate, or the other million things we kept throwing at him. Truth is, we don’t care about their sh*&, and they don’t care about our sh$%.

Donald J Trump.

President for the next 2802 days no matter what his ratings are. Just enough time to change the face of the Supreme Court for generations.

Yet another Bull Sh$t poll.........who believes that crap anyway? Unfortunately, when Trump was running for POTUS, he seemed to enjoy displaying his poll numbers proudly. He believed those pollsters BEFORE he got elected, I wonder what he believes now.

Pollsters, ask the people who will soon be employed at high paying jobs thanks to PRESIDENT TRUMP’S Make America Great Again agenda. As for his base, we Deplorables are biting at the bit to campaign for the POTUS in 2020.

He's not American but Irish. He also worked on the Obama campaign.

Only cracking the Trump loyal base has going on is the cracking up with every debunked fake news from the fake-leaders WAPO and slimes.

Not a problem. Trump has less than a 10 percent chance of being elected President anyway. At least according to the pollsters - before he was elected.

No no, after the primary the polls showed Trump losing bigly to Hillary. He did not tout them during the general. He excoriated the polls.
