They have been drinking various batches distributed via Fux Ruse and the GOP for 40+ years.

I no longer compare the Trump Toadies to the Jim Jones cult members. Jones' members knew they might be drinking poison every night. The Toadies don't even know it's poison. This makes Jones followers smarter than Trump Toadies. And Trump Toadies = Fox News viewers.

was asked how she felt about the fact that C19 was a hoax and now dear dad is dead. (they hadn't taken precautions because they believed it was a hoax)

Her response: It was both the WH and the media that made it confusing... Even death in family doesn't shake their support

This was an story I heard on the radio, yesterday or day before.

Less than half approve.
Trump has, and likely will never even reach approval by half of Americans.

Trump's Only Term polling will forever be: Most Americans Do Not Approve of Trump.

I believe they are used for propaganda. Rather than find the couple of legit ones I believe none. I believe that Trump's support is closer to 40%. Notice when the 1st poll came out that gave Trump a bump how all of the M$M had the exact same message, the virus is helping Trump. If that poll was really really true and more people supported Trump because they thought that Trump was doing a good job with the pandemic then this country is in big trouble. I hope in the end that the US response will be compared with other countries responses, that isn't polling, that's hard cold facts.
Sadly a hard rain's a comin for the US.

I see that Trump is only going to release 5,500 of the new Abbott lab tests that can be done in 15 minutes. The real scandal in this virus is that Trump is deliberately not testing because tests would balloon the numbers of infected and dead.

voted for Hillary in 2016 have changed their minds and decided they like trump. He has done nothing to win them over, but has done a WHOLE lot to alienate them. But there are a whole helluvalot of people who voted for trump who have seen that he is the biggest asshole that has ever graced our country.

People who were TRULY wanting to "drain the swamp", have seen that he really is the king of the swamp. So who has he won over that he lost last time? And last time he LOST the popular vote, and the russians had to hack Florida to give him a win.

There's no friggin' way those polls are correct. None. The way way majority of people in this country are horrified that he is in office. The Fox "news" idiots are the only people who like him, and they LOVE him. So how many viewers does Fox "news" have?
