President Trump's disapproval rating has jumped to 56 percent in a Fox News survey released Wednesday, just one point shy of the record high in Fox News polling. The survey found a 5 percentage point increase in Trump's disapproval from last month.
Trump has the disapproval of a record number of men, at 53 percent,
white men, 46 percent,
and independents, 64 percent, according to the survey.
The poll comes at a tense political moment following two mass shootings earlier this month, one of which appears to have been racially motivated. Approval for Trump's response to the incidents is just 37 percent, and 46 percent said they believe his administration has made the country less safe from mass shootings.
Fifty-nine percent of voters in the poll say they are unhappy with the way things are going in the country. The same proportion (Fifty-nine percent) say the president is "tearing the country apart," compared to only 31 percent who say he is "drawing the country together."
Researchers surveyed 1,013 registered voters nationwide from Aug. 11 to 13. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

When a jack ass driving on the highway realizes they are going to miss their exit at the last second cuts across three lanes of traffic to make it with complete disregard of other drivers on the road. Usually causing extreme cases of road rage. Taken from the movie The Hunt for Red October.

(32,823 posts)I've voted D in every election since 1972, but I didn't join the Democratic Party until 2008.
The reason: in 2008 I wanted to voted for Hillary in the primary. So the only way I could do that (in PA) was to register in the Democratic Party. I have no regrets, and I'm sure that I'll never vote for a Repuke in my lifetime. No doubt there are a lot more like me out there.
