Trump at 36% in Gallup is a BFD [View all]

36% approval to 60% disapproval is a big fucking deal. The poll validates all the negative polling data from so many other polls. Trump still holds sway among the Republican electorate makes that more dangerous for his party. That means pro-Trump candidates have the advantage in Republican primaries, but with solid Democratic disapproval, coupled with Trump's favorability in the twenties among Independents, the Republicans are being led to a political slaughter.

I can't see this changing in the next year. I don't see the economy improving or Trump modifying his despicable behavior. As bad as it seems now for Trump and the Republicans, I think it will get much worse before November.
