Where Trump Stands Just Now

The political blog "Wake Up to Politics" reports the following two polls regarding the nation's opinions on President Trump.

Washington Post/ABC poll released Wednesday

• 61% say Trump fired Comey to protect himself, 27% say he did it for the good of the country
• 72% have some or no trust in Trump's word on Russia, 21% have a great deal or good amount of trust in it
• 55% have some or no trust in Comey's word on Russia, 36% have a great deal or good amount in it
• 56% say Trump is trying to interfere in the Russia investigation, 34% say he is cooperating

Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday

• 34% approve of Trump's job performance, 57% disapprove
• 59% say Trump is not honest, 36% say he is
• 32% say Trump did nothing wrong relating to Russia, 31% say Trump did something illegal relating to Russia, 29% say he did something unethical but not illegal
• 40% say Trump aides did something illegal relating to Russia, 25% say they did something unethical but not illegal, 24% say they did nothing wrong
• 54% say Trump is too friendly with Russia, 38% say he has the right relationship with Russia, 3% say he is too unfriendly
• 68% say they are very or somewhat concerned about Trump's relationship with Russia

I thought both polls insightful. They seem to make two things clear.

First, though Mr. Trump did get officially elected President (in spite of not getting the majority popular vote), the American people are not stupid but are, in fact, "wise" to Mr. Trump.

Second, Mr. Trump is in a world of political and popular hurt. Deserved, certainly, but still, he is. And keep in mind, this is still very, very early in this Presidency.

Today's testimony by and from former FBI head James Comey should be very insightful, also, and colorful, at the very least.

Latest Polls Show Millions of "Not Even People" Disapprove of Trump Presidency

The 2-second answer that will come back to haunt Donald Trump

It Keeps Getting Worse For The Trumpster, Too

This broke two days ago.

Quinnipiac poll: Trump approval hits new low

A bit from the article:

President Trump's approval rating has slipped to 38 percent, a new national poll finds.

The Quinnipiac University survey released on Wednesday says that only 38 percent of Americans approve of Trump's job performance, while 55 percent disapprove.

According to Quinnipiac, the 17-point difference in Trump's approval rating is the worst he's fared in a poll since taking office in January.

An earlier survey from the pollster this month registered Trump with 42 percent approval and 51 percent disapproval.

“President Trump’s popularity is sinking like a rock," Tim Malloy, the assistant director of the poll, said in a statement announcing the findings.

"He gets slammed on honesty, empathy, level-headedness and the ability to unite. And two of his strong points, leadership and intelligence, are sinking to new lows. This is a terrible survey one month in.”

Again, this is unprecedented, making for an unprecedented presidency. 

We are right at 5 weeks into this administration and when this man and his people should be, traditionally, historically, enjoying high approval ratings, the first 100 days, this guy is, instead, at historic lows.

Does that tell you much, Republicans? Americans?

And wait. It gets better, too.

Americans Trust Media More Than Trump

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

God, I love it.

What isn't to hate of this man and his administration--or fear, for our nation--is to love.

Think happy, positive thoughts, campers.
