Opinion: From Fox, frightening news for GOP

[Dulcinea]

We’re still a year away from the 2018 midterms, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a poll with such ominous news for a political party as the latest Fox News poll holds for Republicans.

In the last month, President Trump’s job-approval number has dropped four points, from 42 percent to 38 percent. It is down 10 points since February. In the last month, it has dropped precipitously, from 68 percent to 56 percent, among white men without a college degree, which is his core group of supporters. Among independents, his job approval rating is now just 30 percent. And according to Fox News, Obamacare is now viewed favorably by 52 percent of Americans, and unfavorably by 44 percent.

Nine months into his presidency, most Americans have also concluded that Trump lacks the knowledge (38 percent yes/60 percent no), judgment (37/60) and compassion (37/60) to function adequately in the Oval Office.

1. And he has done this to himself. There's no one else to blame.

[Soxfan58]

2. But he will!

[Arkansas Granny]

4. Yeah, that goes without saying.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

5. Yes... and in other news, scientists discover water is wet!

[MyOwnPeace]

12. "It's "scientists" -

don't believe them!!" (yelled a guy wearing a MAGA hat!)

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

16. hahahaha... good point!

[still_one]

3. The question is, will that actually translate into votes, and I am not so sure

[Cary]

6. It would translate into no shows at the polls

And our base is energized.

7. Don't underestimate the GOP, there is nothing they will not do to win

They lie
They cheat
They steal
If they have to they will kill

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Please don't toss out unfounded serious accusations without evidence & explanation

If they have to they will kill

You can't support your nonsense with credible evidence or credible links to evidence.

It's the kind of fictional nonsense we read on other websites about Democrats. I would hope members at DU have higher standards.

[MyOwnPeace]

13. But they DO kill........

the "RIGHT TO VOTE!"*

* see Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and other recently enacted "voter rights" laws and Supreme Court rulings.

[orangecrush]

11. And this is still a nation of laws.

When they are caught, they will get a fair trial and if convicted, go to prison.

This is not Putinland yet.

[Dustlawyer]

14. Depends on whether they can afford a good attorney or not and what the color

of their skin is. Also, what court of Appeals the case goes to.

[Martin Eden]

8. In a sane country Trump wouldn't have more than 5% approval

I just can't celebrate 38%.

[Cosmocat]

9. THIS

The critical mass of stupid is still too great ...

[Greybnk48]

15. They'll just cheat. The GOP doesn't have to actually win

elections, they just rig them like in FLA, PA, MI, OH, WI, GA. Over and over and over. And we all sit around discussing it like it's all fucking legit.

We haven't had a clean election in Wisconsin in 10 years. We had a Walker minion counting votes in her fucking basement on a personal computer for his initial election AND his recall. They also rigged our Supreme Court elections and there's not a thing we can do about it.

We had over 100 thousand people in the streets of Madison and they told the media to say it was only 10,000--and they ALL did. Three times at least.
