    No, His base is probably 30-35 of the population, so there is no way to get to 70% IMO.

    Exactly what I was thinking. You could list 10 scenarios of things that could go wrong with increased severity. Even if you got to the worst 3 or 4, there is a cut off. Meaning a certain percentage almost under any circumstances would not waver in their support.

    I am not sure about that. He won the election by getting, what, about 28% of the voting elligible US population to vote for him? And a lot of those people, I know, were just loyal conservatives who held there nose and voted against Hillary. I would put his core support much lower than 25% of eligible voters. The no-matter-what people are loyal and loud but could easily be as small as 1 in 5 Americans.

    I am guessing not everyone who approve of him voted for him in last election, just like many who dislike did not vote either. I was just thinking about many of the polls had him at 30-35% before the election.

    A slightly different spin on the "Trump disapproval" story... 71% of CEOs give Trump a D or F grade. But what would corporate CEO's know?

    Poll: CEOs give Trump a failing grade

    Nearly two-thirds disapprove. Not only is Trump unpopular, but so are his policies...

    So, basically the majority of people think that he is not going to make America great, or 35% people still think so. Good luck for you, American people (35%).

    lol I love that Trump is tweeting out the Rasumussen polls, because it shows that he pays attention to his sinking approval ratings numbers and I bet that pisses him off.

    Of course he does, right? Looking at a weekly number as if it sums up your performance is just about the only skill he can take from being a reality TV star to his new job. LOL. Being outrageous and rude for ratings just isn't working the same way for some reason, but he'll keep trying.

    Your post is incredibly sad and depressing (because it's accurate).

    :(
