Nearly half of independents say knowing a candidate was backed by Pelosi would make them less likely to back that candidate themselves. […]

Lol, of course we should believe exactly what a CBS News poll says about Trump's support among independents.

Mixed reviews on NK? Jump the gun much? The NK issue has not yet really reached the “Gentlemen, start your engines,” phase. The time for reviews will be months/years from now, when the peninsula is free of all nukes and fissible material.

That’s very good news. If CBS publishes more positives about the Trump Administration, I’ll have a look at the CBS site once in a while.

I do not remember the media EVER doing polls to see if people were giving Obama credit for anything. Oh, there was nothing good to take credit for. My bad.
