Quote:Satisfaction With U.S. Direction Reaches 12-Year High

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Thirty-eight percent of Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in the United States today, similar to last month's 37% satisfaction rate but marking the numerical high since a 39% reading in September 2005.

The satisfaction rate, which Gallup has measured at least monthly since 2001, has now topped 35% three times this year -- a level reached only three times in the previous 12 years (once each in 2006, 2009 and 2016).

Thus the need to create a crisis where one doesn't exist. Trump is creating concentration camps and separating children of ILLEGALS from the parents at a higher rate than Obama. One thing I find funny when I hear the higher rate statement is the ignorance of the left, it's not really a higher rate, it a product of the higher volume coming in.

Based on the title of this thread I expected to see words like rationality, morality, responsibility, etc.

I thought the alarming words were going to be even more basic: "private property".

Accepting personal responsibility for one's actions.

Freedom

Life, liberty, and property.

Hillary 2024.

This is not really a comment on any party but I find it pretty sad that these “highs” are below 40%.

So, 62% of Americans are not satisfied with the direction things are going and that's supposed to strike fear in my heart?

Okay.

Finally, MUH POLLS?

Why are you always so intellectually dishonest? The story didn't say that at all, and besides, it quoted numbers going all the way back to the W administration, which, in case you haven't figured it out yet, included 8 years of the Magic Man.

Good news to liberals, especially when the opposition is in office, is like garlic and mirrors to a vampire.

Libs have been in denial about a lot of things since the election. The fear is really about the reality that DJT can be an effective and successful POTUS despite all the "logic" that was given during the primaries, during the presidential campaign, after the election and during Year 1 of his administration that said to the contrary. The fear is about the reality that he will be elected for 4 more years because the DEMS have no counter to the winning and have no viable candidate.

Huh?

From your OP:

Quote:WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Thirty-eight percent of Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in the United States today

100-38 <> 62????

The Magic Man managed to get himself elected with poll numbers running between 11 and 26% of Americans satisfied with the direction of the country.

Will Tommy tell us he'll be perfectly comfortable with Trump getting ousted from office in 2020 if he runs for re-election with numbers of 36%.

I suppose he will.

So again, what's supposed to strike fear in my heart?

Quote:The latest YouGov/Economist poll (May 6-8), one of a few that comprehensively breaks down support by ethnicity, has some frightening news for the Democratic Party.

While President Trump’s approval holds steady among registered voters at 41 percent, his support among blacks in this poll is striking. If it holds for 2020, it could be devastating for Democrats. Among African-Americans, 16 percent approve of Trump, 10 percent are not sure, and 75 percent disapprove.

The threat to the Democratic Party is obvious based on these results and their upward trend for Trump. If Trump could win Pennsylvania despite a turnout for Hillary in Philadelphia that was only three points less than President Obama received in 2012 and “The best turnout without Obama on the ballot I’ve ever seen,” then any further bleeding of black support in that state could ensure Trump’s re-election, even if he lost Florida but kept his rust belt wins. If the current support level holds and turns into actual support (or anywhere near it), then Democrats are in profound trouble—possibly even for the midterms.
