4. True. To have an impact, Democrats have to campaign hard on these issues

And that means having a united voice, which rarely happens

7. I use the Silver Bulletin; it's a composite of many different polls, but only show the latest 10.

It includes polls from both sides, and some that might be considered neutral.
I watch them to see how things change over time. Right now they're composite is at -14.3%.
If you scroll down you can see they run from -24% for the Pew Research Center to only -3% for RMG Research.
You can also go back and see previous data.

It's interesting to see that a FOX news sponsored poll from Jan. 23-26 shows Trump at -12%.

I don't see the Gallup poll, probably because it's a monthly poll, so it doesn't show how his popularity is trending day to day. If you look at their last posted poll, December 1 - 15th (have to scroll way down), he's down 23 points.

He has done some pretty horrible stuff, worse than any president in our history, yet only 54% think we are worse off?!?

Ice is literally executing people in the streets and putting children in concentration camps and only 55% of Americans have little confidence in them?!?

American and America are fucking garbage that seem to celebrate in the suffering of others.

13. In danger of what?

He's deeply unpopular, but he's never going to be on a ballot again. He doesn't care about anyone who's not him, so there's no consequence and hence no danger to him.
