Americans pessimistic about Trump, country: AP-NORC Poll
Associated Press ^ | Dec 15, 2017 11:17 AM EST | Julie Pace and Emily Swanson

President Donald Trump frequently casts his first year in office as a string of successes and campaign promises fulfilled. But less than a quarter of Americans think Trump has made good on the pledges he made to voters while running for president, according to a new poll by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Among Republicans, just half say Trump has kept his promises, which included vows to overhaul his predecessor’s health care law, withdraw the United States from a nuclear accord with Iran and invest millions in new projects to fix the nation’s aging infrastructure. None of those steps have been taken.

“Everything has stalled out,” said Mark Krowski, 37, an independent from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who leans Republican but didn’t vote for Trump last year.

As 2017 comes to a close, the majority of Americans painted a broadly pessimistic view of Trump’s presidency, the nation’s politics and the overall direction of the country. Just three in 10 Americans said the United States is heading in the right direction, and 52 percent said the country is worse off since Trump became president - worrisome signs both for the White House and Republicans heading into a midterm election year where control of Congress will be at stake. …

How does one “lean Republican”? The GOP wing of the Uniparty does not stand for anything specific, only what the Uniparty controllers tell them to do.

This article demonstrates the still-extant, corrosive, corrupt power of the mainstream media.

This is classic “Death to America” journalism.

Spend 18 months telling the public how bad the pro-American politician is, and the taking a “poll” that shows ho successful their propaganda has been.

Math is hard for Mark Krowski. The one thing we DON'T have is anything stalling, except perhaps the Deep State stalling for time.

The AP-NORC polls surveyed 1,444 adults from Nov. 30-Dec. 4 and 1,020 adults from Dec. 7-11 using samples drawn from NORC's probability-based AmeriSpeak panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population.

Probability-based?

Guesswork, in other words.

***WARNING***

AP = All Propaganda

Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

Can we limit posting this kind of b/s from a known lying Leftist outlet other than demoralize the readers? What good does it do? Some have said if they didn’t know any better they would think FR was a Leftist site what with all the pro-Lying Left headlines steaming across. If this story is true and has some redeeming value, at least get the story from a reasonably reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative posing as a “news” organization.

Why doesn't the MSM put on their Big Boy Pants and address why Trump hasn't come through on most of his campaign promises? Cleary, the Dems, Liberals, and even the GOP are trying to make him look bad, but the MSM obviously doesn't want to call out why that's the case.

Sadly I believe the poll. Many people are immature and ill informed. They take about 10% as much interest in politics and world affairs as we do here.

They’re waiting to pounce on him if he ever makes the Obama move they lauded, to wit “If Congress doesn’t act, I will”.

I am pessimistic. The left will eventually prevail. Freedom, prosperity and our standard of living will be destroyed in favor of slavery and oppression; the mythical socialist utopia.

Are these the 52% who had to get a job because the lousy Obama economy of no jobs is no longer an excuse to milk the taxpayers?

They have confused Pres. Trump’s effort’s to fulfill his campaign promises to Mitch McConnell refusing to bring up the House’s bills sent to the Senate and rejecting efforts to repeal ACA . About 300 at last count. I’l bet they will find some way to torpedo the tax bill.

Build the wall!

His poll numbers will go through the roof once we start seeing the wall getting built.

Tax cuts, get this down

Get rid of Odumbocare, sooner the better
