President Trumps disapproval rating has hit a high point of 60 percent, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll that also finds that clear majorities of Americans support the special counsels Russia investigation and say the president should not fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
At the dawn of the fall campaign sprint to the midterm elections, which will determine whether Democrats retake control of Congress, the poll finds a majority of the public has turned against Trump and is on guard against his efforts to influence the Justice Department and special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIs wide-ranging probe.
Nearly half of Americans, 49 percent, say Congress should begin impeachment proceedings that could lead to Trump being removed from office, while 46 percent say Congress should not.

We can do this. Heard on NPR this morning that the Koch brothers are starting their money for ads and paid activists giveaway to keep the House.

(2,410 posts)One essence of America is its citizens' demand for unfettered, equitable evaluation using FACTS.
The whirl and swirl of "alternative facts" is finally starting to drive voters back to the only thing that they can rely on, verified factual evidence.
Register and VOTE in November!
