The Washington Examiner ^ | Feb 25, 2018 | Naomi Lim

Two polls released Sunday reveal President Trump's approval rating is at its lowest point since his inauguration in January 2017 as the country reignites its debate over gun control reform.

Only 38 percent of people surveyed by USA Today and Suffolk University's Political Research Center approve of Trump's job performance a year into his presidency, while 60 percent disapprove of his leadership of his administration.

...

CNN's survey, put in the field by SSRS, found 35 percent back Trump's job performance, whereas 58 percent do not.

I really don't see how his approval would have gone *down* even if the numbers did not go up - he has had a few good weeks in a row since the SOTU and people's paychecks are getting larger from not only tax cuts but wage increases.

And a few days ago one polling service said he was at 50%!

With 24/7 Trump bashing it’s no surprise to me.

Rasmussen had him at 50% just two days ago, and I’ll take their word over CNN’s any day of the week. Their 2016 national presidential polls were certainly better than CNN’s.

Fake polls.

As expected, the point is to shape public opinion, not to reflect it.

Yes, and Fox reported a poll that was about 50. I’d say these numbers reflect those with Fox and/or OAN vs those with only basic TV.

We shall see.

People are still reluctant to admit they like what Trump is doing. That is a significant factor.

If good paying jobs in the rust belts states are seen to have come back and making a significant difference in people’s lives, Trump will win a second term.

As James Carville said, Its the economy stupid.

The media is on a full court press, unlike anything that we have ever seen on this issue. They decided as soon as this happened, that THIS was going to be the time to pull out all the stops. They decided that they were going to push gun control in every story, 24/7, on every news outlet, in every newspaper, on every network. The AssPress and CNN have marketing agreements with virtually every news outlet in the country. That means, it doesn’t matter if your local TV station or Newspaper might be in a Conservative area, or even have Conservative view points, The AssPress is going to push their stories to the news station/newspaper website.

Many other organizations have similar agreements with CNN.

Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo and Google are coordinating with the Press and manipulating search terms, “trending” stories and news so that you see exactly what they want you to see.

The media doesn’t care about facts, they don’t care about the truth, and they think they can pull the same trick that they did on the redefinition of marriage to accomplish their agenda here.

Remember, in 2004, Protection of Marriage Amendments won across the country. In 2008, KALIFORNIA voted for a Protection of Marriage Amendment.

The media decided that after the Kalifornia loss, they were going to shift public opinion. They then went on a full court press, and they pumped story after story after story into the marketplace to ensure that only one side of the debate was heard.

It wasn’t long after that that Marriage Amendments started losing and the redefinition of marriage started in the more liberal States.

Now, we are at a place where people are getting fined and their businesses shut down because they don’t toe the line.

Until we get a true alternative to the AssPress and the other Mainstream outlets, the left is going to continue to have far more influence over culture than their numbers would allow otherwise.

They have corporations, the entire media industry, Hollywood, TV, and most of the internet on their side.

Conservatives don’t like to get into the trenches and fight for all they are worth and we continually react, react, react while the left is pushing, pushing, pushing.

I wish I had an answer to what we can do. Short of separation, I don’t think there is a great answer.

The nation is basically 40% Rat,40% GOP and 20% squishy "Moderates".It's the 20% who the Rats have been aiming at during this latest 2nd Amendment jihad and,just as they were in "Moore is a rapist",they seem to have been successful here...so far,at least.
