More Polling Shows Trump Tanking (other than the ABC/WP poll)

[louis c]

A YouGov poll has Trump losing a net of 9 points in one day in their polling: Trump's approval in that poll went from a 43% approval and 50% disapproval to a 38% approval and 54% disapproval. That change was accomplished in a single day (yesterday). In addition, a new IBD poll has Trump at 36% approve and 56% disapprove in it's latest findings, also published today. This reinforces that astonishing ABC/WP poll with a 60% disapproval number, compared to a 36% approval number that everyone is talking about. I have posted the 538 Average here, which shows Trump 14 points under water, with only the phony, bullshit, outlier Rasmussen Poll keeping Trump at the 40% point mark in the average.

1. I Think He May Be Losing Some Military Support

[Grasswire2]

2. also AAs. nt

[donkeypoofed]

3. He never should've had ANY military support!

Esp considering he was too afraid to be one of them and an absolute bastard to one of their own (McCain). He's fucked up the VA even worse! What were they thinking?!?!

[Garrett78]

19. They were thinking the same thing that his non-military supporters were.

There isn't anything special about them or his evangelical supporters. They're all motivated by racism (including xenophobia), sexism and misogyny, homophobia, jingoism, etc.

4. The McCain debacle

Seems to have hurt him a lot. Democrats On the other hand showed respect for the dead and benefited from it.

5. Lol if Rasmussen was a legit poll, he'd be at around 38 percent.

That one outlier is the only thing keeping him about 40.

6. Adolf Trump is going down fast!

[JCMach1]

22. McCain is hurting him badly

[workinclasszero]

23. Trump is a rich draft dodging punk

I hated McCain's politics but he damned well served his country and endured things that yellow Russian spy/traitor in the white house would never dream of doing, that's for damn sure!

And for that service he deserves honor not some punk ass POS raising up the flag from half mast after a couple of days because he's jelly over a dead war hero!

Trump will go down in history as the absolute worst piece of human debris that ever left his traitor stank in the white house and all the people in his administration and this GOP Congress will share that stank!

7. At 538 you can see the trend opening up in the last week: Dis is up, approve is down.

I expect it's his behavior about McCain: that may be the last straw for some typically republican devotees. His base, however, which looks like it's about 30%, won't ever drop him. They like his destruction.

[ooky]

8. He's garbage, it has to happen sometime.

Now would be a great time.

[struggle4progress]

9. drip! drip! drip!

[Garrett78]

10. Racism, sexual assault, collude with enemy, break other laws...no problem.

Dissing McCain...unacceptable.

11. Single day moves should be ignored

[louis c]

16. IBD is polling over a week and yougov is a 3 day rolling average

ABS/WP was done over a week's time.

These are not one day polls. also, I saw posted here a poll out today giving the Dems an 11 point generic ballot average.

I agree, one poll may be an outlier, but not 4.

[ToxMarz]

17. Single day moves together make up trends

They aren't necessarily definitive but simply ignoring data isn't very "sciencey".

[Honeycombe8]

12. Rasmussen slants conservative, I've read. Still, it's a legitimate poll. 60% disapproval!

Now you're talking. People are beginning to see him for what he is (and still I ask...it took THIS long? The children in cages wasn't enough?)

[Garrett78]

20. Oh yeah, I forgot to include "kids in cages" in post #10.

21. Rasmussen is not legit

I've been watching their polling since its inception. What it does is become a Republican outlier right up to about 5 days before an election. It will skew at least 8 points to the Republican. Then, just before the election, it moves into line with the rest of the reputable polls, so it can appear accurate on election day. That's why 538 rates it a C+ poll.

13. The Trumpster made a huge mistake . . .

with his continued vendetta against John McCain following his death. The flag nonsense and the late statement from the WH left a sour note with many vets, military men and their families. You don't risk blood and kin to duty and country, and then have patience for a petulant man-child spitting on a veteran's legacy, particularly a man of McCain's stature. We don't have to agree with John McCain's political philosophy to know who is/was the better man--McCain or the Trumpster.

Captain Bone Spurs went too far on this one.

14. Goin down, flat feet on the ground.

18. kick

24. He behaved like a childish boor over McCain.

Expect a rise.
