The president has a near 90 percent approval rating among Republicans. His popularity near the 500-day mark among his own party is higher than any other president since World War II, with the exception of George W. Bush in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
Davis is the kind of Republican who backed Ohio governor John Kasich in the 2016 primaries, the kind of Republican who subscribes to the Wall Street Journal.

NPR is deeply saddened.
More and more conservatives are seeing Trump as more conservative than Reagan. You can’t help but be pumped by the things being done by president .45.
I have to believe that Trump is “gaining” supporters, not losing them. His policies and outcomes have been successful. His haters are still haters but thee are many in the middle who are becoming converts AND as importantly the Dems really, if we’re honest, have NO MESSAGE, nothing to get excited about nothing to “attract” the middle.
Going from weenie Kasich to Trump. Many are making that similar journey, including many independents.

Ya think?
God bless President Trump.
This is a very interesting article, especially for NPR. Most importantly, they did not talk to the Pledge Callers, the Washington beltway deep state, or to the Left and East Coast urbanites. They talked to real Americans who have made rational choices and have carefully weighed what is best for them, their families, and America. They chose Trump and they are more supportive of him as the results of his decisions keep rolling in. These people aren’t represented in the current voting models Many are well educated and thoughtful, the model says those are Democrats. These people are blue collar through and through for many generations. They are Democrats the models say. The models will continue to predict this will o’ the wisp Blue Wave, and odd article, like this one, that destroys the Democrat Conventional Wisdom will be ignored.
The Democrats and the Media (but, I repeat myself) are going to be disappointed. Shadenfreude is looming.
“GOP Enthusiasm?”
Believe me ... the Liberals have absolutely NO idea what’s going to hit them.
They learned nothing in the last National Election.....Because they intimidated the hell out of all Republicans and Conservatives...because they publicly bullied and browbeat ANY and ALL opposition, because no one says a thing for fear of losing their job, causing family disputes, etc... because of ALL THAT, these idiotic Liberals actually THINK they have defeated Conservatism. They learned NOTHING... our voice is saved for the voting booth... as it should be.
Liberals created a tide of resentment against themselves and they have no idea how massive, deep and irreversible it is.
THEY demonstrate ... thinking THAT is their voice...THAT will reverse the resentment.... THAT will change ANYONE’S mind?
They forgot how the whole thing works and made themselves completely irrelevant.
The Nazi Democrats are coming for all of us.
We had better be enthusiastic and engaged.
This is Molly Jong-Fascist, a Resistance biggie on Twitter. She's calling for a Marxine Waters fatwa on Trump supporters.
May I suggest that Molly needs the baby Harp seal cure...
Very well done report. NPR, does actually, at times sound like real journalism, meaning journalism without an agenda. In this report, they found 50 people who voted for Trump and admitted that 49 love Trump even more, and even mentioned the evil 90% number, the percentage of Republicans ready to vote for him again. That was the key to getting Trump removed - bring that 90% number down to 60%, and then some elected Republicans might be willing to risk voting to remove him - but at 90%, it’s political suicide.
It is interesting how the groups they identified were looked at by GOP Old Guard, versus how they’re looked at by Trump. I shall discuss that next.
EVANGELICALS
GOPe: Let’s not make any strong promises, because “Who else are they going to vote for?”, we’re the only game in town that still opposes abortion (but we really, really, wish that issue would just go away - sucks when Democrats bring up the issue at the DC party scene).
TRUMP: I may not have the moral purity in my past to be running for Pope, but I will put Judges and Justices in the mold of Scalia on the bench. You have my word on that...and, of course, he’s come through on that.
WHITE WORKING-CLASS MEN
GOPe: Yuck, they get their hands dirty, they’re smelly, and they’re racist. We’ll keep getting most of them because “Who else are the going to vote for?”. After all, we’re the only game in town opposing gun control (but we really, really, wish that the issue would just go away - sucks when Democrats bring up the issue at the DC party scene).
TRUMP: “Your days of being ignored OVER! You are the Lifeblood of this country!” And no, Trump doesn’t look at them as smelly racists - in fact, one thing missing during the campaign and through today was any criticism of Trump from people who actually worked for him - and that was because Trump ALWAYS showed them respect. The media simply couldn’t find those (Trump-hating workers) people because they didn’t exist - so they had to create a new bunch of ‘victims’ who magically remembered Trump annoying them decades in the past.
VETERANS
GOPe: You guys did your jobs, now shut up and behave.
TRUMP: Loves them to no end, and that started way before he ran for office.
ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS
GOPe: We run the Republican Party, we control the purse strings. Bow down (i.e., support Amnesty and stay clear of ‘controversial’ issues), or you will go NOWHERE in this party.
TRUMP: “Sorry, I don’t need to play by your rules.” But it’s great to see them moving his way...very few left who still oppose Trump and they look like TOTAL FOOLS, since they’re getting everything they’ve ever demanded from a GOP president.
This guys sounds like me.
