Poll: 60 percent disapprove of Trump, while clear majorities back Mueller and Sessions
Washington Post ^ | Aug. 31, 2018 | Philip Rucker and Scott Clement

President Trump’s disapproval rating has hit a high point of 60 percent, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll that also finds that clear majorities of Americans support the special counsel’s Russia investigation and say the president should not fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

At the dawn of the fall campaign sprint to the midterm elections, which will determine whether Democrats retake control of Congress, the poll finds a majority of the public has turned against Trump and is on guard against his efforts to influence the Justice Department and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s wide-ranging probe.

Nearly half of Americans, 49 percent, say Congress should begin impeachment proceedings that could lead to Trump being removed from office, while 46 percent say Congress should not.

Fake poll means fake news.

Ok. Another garbage poll from a Leftist publication, intended as propaganda to energize their base and demoralize the rest of us.

What it should remind us is that the Left will never quit pushing, and will say anything to win, no matter how preposterous. Stop listening to them.

We must forget about any pretense of civil discourse with the Left and simply win all of the coming elections. Then proceed with expulsion of Leftists from Government and de-funding of all their institutions.

There isn't any point in compromise.

If they can fake news, they can surely fake polls. It’s more difficult to check the results of a polls, than it is to check a news event.

Fortune magazine picked up the news too — as I said, we need to be aware of what the MSM is feeding people.

Was this poll done before or after the circle jerk at the Washington Post/ABC?

Well put. I have no qualms for climbing in the mud pit with them and shoving their face in the mud they have made.

I know a guy who has been on drugs for 20 years and recently decided to join the world. He got clean two years ago and now he’s buying a new car and getting a better job as a welder. He has been welding for only several months now but he is getting job offers. If Hillary were president he would be waiting in line for food stamps and counseling but she isn’t and all the people we know who are admiring his progress would be voting against him if they voted against President Trump.

I visited a couple of National Parks this summer and they were crowded as heck. I blame Trump. If it wasn’t for all this prosperity we could be enjoying our parks without all the crowds.
