Ignore opinion polls.

Six in 10 Americans say a recession is likely in the next year and as many are concerned about higher prices because of the trade war with China, helping to knock 6 points off President Donald Trump’s job approval rating in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll.
Trump fell from a career-high 44% approval in July to 38% now, a point off his career average, with 56% disapproving. His average rating since taking office remains the lowest on record for any modern president at a comparable point in his term, and he is the first never to have achieved majority approval.
Trump has slipped by a slight 5 percentage points specifically on his handling of the economy, from 51% approval in midsummer to 46% now. Fewer -- 35% -- approve of his handling of trade negotiations with China, and 60% are concerned that the trade dispute will raise the price of things they buy.
Ratings of the U.S. economy overall, 56% positive, are down from 65% last fall in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates. Most ominously, 60% see a recession as very or somewhat likely in the next year. That’s within sight of the 69% who said so in November 2007, in advance of the Great Recession.
In another measure, Trump gets far more criticism than credit for his economic stewardship. Americans by nearly a 3-1 margin, 43-16%, say his trade and economic policies have increased rather than decreased the chance of a recession in the next year.

Looking at the Dims lineup, I think Trump would win even with a recession. \
A demented “moderate” and a bunch of jacobins is not going to work even with a dumbed down p0blic.
Honestly, who cares? I have friends who are conservative like me. And they could care less about President Trump’s approval rating. They know polls are rigged.
There are help wanted signs all over town. Job fairs are being held. Store parking lots are jammed.
As Judy Garland sang, “Who could ask for anything more?”
RANDOM SAMPLE OF ADULTS! PFFftt.
There are those of us among the little folk who put a lot of blame for Trump not negotiating peace on Nikki Haley and John Bolton, among others who never truly served President Trump.
Can’t wait for ABC’s comments after Trump wins his second term.
RANDOM SAMPLE OF ADULTS! PFFftt.

I guess the MSM will have to run these polls down to “TRUMP APPROVAL NOW DOWN TO ZERO PER CENT” before people call BS on it???
Same poll said that 52 percent favor mandatory buybacks of guns. Yeah, right.
In my area the Tin-Pan-Alley has 7 new restaurants and strip centers under construction in the past 9 months which is more activity than in the past 12 years.
Nearby the farmers have shifted a couple of hundred acres of cropland into sod production.
People don’t spend that kind of money expecting a recession.
ABC News/Washington Post poll - ROTFLMAO!
Having everything made in a country that has missiles pointed at us is equivalent to have everything made in Nazi Germany

Especially if it’s something like steel.
Imagine us not having a steel capability if hostilities broke out.
Some administrations were oblivious to this.
I’m sure there are a myriad of other things just as fundamental.
More PFffttt!
Thanks!
What would we do, without all the left wing and phoney conservative bs 24/7?
news flash: Six of 10 voters don’t even know what a recession is.
Wow. Glad the word, “POLL”, is in all caps. Otherwise I’d be inclined not to belive it. But all caps ... well, then, it must be true.

Not to mention it's from the corrupt media, they don't have a dog in this fight, boy do I crack myself up.
