President Trump's previously resilient base is showing signs of cracking.
A new Reuters/IPSOS tracking poll, released Friday afternoon, showed the president with a job approval rating of 75 percent among Republicans.
Political professionals generally view it as worrying for any commander-in-chief if his approval ratings with his own party dip below 85 percent - and downright alarming if they go below 80 percent.
"Seventy-five [percent] is certainly a new number and I would want to see something that would either back that up or refute it," said GOP pollster David Winston, whose resumé includes work for former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.). "Certainly, if it were true, that is not where you would want to be."

Speaking of Cooper; he said Trump saying that Comey was a nut job during the Russian meeting is indefensible. The Russian attendees denied that Comey’s name even came up. Since only the Russians were in the room and no American reporters, where did the liberals get this information?
It is truly disgusting and I’m ready to see a law (if there isn’t one already) that before a news agency can say anything they must have an identifiable source for the info they put out otherwise they could be charged with slander. Using media rules I am now reporting that a “credible source” told me that Anderson Cooper screwed his mother and sister when he was going to college (now he is doing goats and other CNN male staff) and is planning on setting off a bomb in the White House. Back to reality: It should be illegal to protect a source.
Reuters, the same entity that had Hillary leading Trump throughout the whole election cycle.
LOLOLOLOL they sure as heck aren’t any closer to understanding anything.
All this media-democrat coup crap makes his base support _stronger_.
They pay for a poll that will reinforce their ignorance.
FWIW I’m sure the question was not what they intimated...further that any reduction in some “approval “ number is the result of being unhappy with the media-democrat coup slowing the delivery of what we voted for in November and what we have been voting for locally and statewide for 7-8 years....
Although they could have polled Ann Coulter and some of the hysterics right here.
More and more people hate the media and are turning to Trump. THAT is the truth.
exactly...if that old bird croaks..then you’ll see a real lib freakout.
Those who pontificate ARE annoying pompous and dogmatic. Pride comes before the fall.
I am not cracking.
Mutha fakin’ msm!
In their dreams. Trump is our only hope and now you can see how everybody — and I mean EVERYONE — is against him.
I am more for Trump now than ever before. He could eat a plate of live kittens in speedos and post it on youtube and I would still support President Trump. He is our only possible chance for ANY Conservative progress whatsoever.
The idiot GOP Establishment is doing everything they can to lose the Senate, and when they do, Trump will no longer be able to appoint SCOTUS nominees. The Rats will keep them in committee until he is out of office, even if it takes 6 years.
If true, just shows how ignorant some are. Trump is likely our last hope for a decent and peaceful world.
And Democrats know to fight dirty and have no guilt while doing so.
Cracking up at the nuclear grade leftist idiocy is what's really happening.
Fven the freak show at the carnival didn't have such a wide variety of wierdos, freaks and misfits.
To paraphrase Hellary:
“You mean like cracking open a beer with a church key?”
I thank God everyday for Trump....if Trump fails, we truly are a totalitarian serfdom.....
Weaponized fake news will achieve the exact opposite result. Trumps supporters will harden their resolve, and more will join his side.
So who did this fantastic polling outfit pick to win the general election last November?
Says who? I’m not cracking. Are y’all cracking? This is pathetic
So, poll is packed with Democrats?
