Trump's popularity is slipping in rural America: poll
Rooters ^ | 10-9-17 | Chris Kahn and Tim Reid

Posted on 10/09/2017 5:42:53 PM PDT by Angels27

Outside the Morgan County fair in McConnelsville, in a rural swath of Ohio that fervently backed U.S. President Donald Trump in last year's election, ticket seller John Wilson quietly counts off a handful of disappointments with the man he helped elect.

The 70-year-old retired banker said he is unhappy with infighting and turnover in the White House. He does not like Trump's penchant for traveling to his personal golf resorts. He wishes the president would do more to fix the healthcare system, and he worries that Trump might back down from his promise to force illegal immigrants out of the country. "Every president makes mistakes," Wilson said. "But if you add one on top of one, on top of another one, on top of another, there's just a limit." In September, 47 percent of people in non-metro areas approved of Trump while 47 percent disapproved. That is down from Trump's first four weeks in office, when 55 percent said they approved of the president while 39 percent disapproved.

The rural vote for Trump was HISTORIC, I’d suspect it was more anti-Hillary then anything else but I don’t believe this poll, the democrats have declared war on these people, and Trump understands them.

What...you believe this crap? Like the polls which showed Klinton up by double digits three weeks before the election? Dude...the media lie. It's what they do.

Just wait till the Middle Class tax cut starts jingling in their jeans and the wall starts being built. It will be hard to find a discouraging word about the President .

That’s why the Uniparty will fight to the death to prevent either of these promises from being kept.

I was typing from my phone. It has three screens of symbols to use.
On the minus side, the spell correct often bollixes words just as I hit the post button.

Let me guess. A poll of 2,000 New Yorkers finds Trumps popularity is down in rural America.

The 800,000 Daca people are small potatoes compared to the 30,000,000 LEGAL immigrants during last 24 years. Most of these legal immigrants are low skills, low education and low wealth. They are chain immigrants, sponsored by relatives (brothers, sisters, parents, uncles, aunts, in-laws, nieces, nephews, and kids are all eligible) who themselves are immigrants.

Rooters can’t find rural America in a map, how can they poll people there?

Funny, shouldn’t Reuters be worried about President Hillary’s approval ratings?
