Poll: North Korea summit was a good idea and helped Trump
KHSL-TV ^ | June 15, 2018 | CNN Wire

Most American adults say that the meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un was a good idea, according to a Monmouth poll released Thursday.

The seven-in-10 who say it's a good idea is up from 63% in late April, including 93% of Republicans, 74% of independents, and 49% of Democrats. Only 20% say it was a bad idea.

The recent poll also shows 46% disapprove of the job Trump is doing as President, perhaps a side effect of the good feelings people have about his efforts on North Korea. The last time Trump's number for disapproval was under 50% was in September 2017, when it remained at 49% for two months. Trump also ties his record high approval rating (43%) in Monmouth polling, which he last achieved in March 2017.

In addition, just under half of respondents (46%) said the meeting made Trump stronger as opposed to those who thought it made him look weaker....

43% approval is an absolute lie.

If 46% disapprove of a booming economy and peace with North Korea then America is absolutely hopeless. Luckily, I don’t believe it.

KHSL? When I was a kid growing up in Gridley and Live Oak we could get two and sometimes three stations

KHSL, CBS channel 12 in Chico, Home of all the great sitcoms, Gilligan's Island, Beverly Hillbillies, The Munsters, etc. and of course Gunsmoke and Ed Sullivan.
KCRA, NBC channel 3 in Sacramento. Home of Star Trek, Walt Disney, flipper and Get Smart. At 11:30 Saturday night Channel 3 had The Bob Wilkins Show, one star horror and sci fi movies. A must watch.
KRCR (7r) ABC in Redding home of Batman, Man From U.N.C.L.E. and of course the dreaded Lawrence Welk Show.

Sorry to go off topic but the KHSL link triggered a lot of memories of the black and white variety.

I think it was but it’s too early to really know.

Imagine what we'd be told if a poll showed such numbers for a Democrat.
