ObamaCare is in serious trouble. The Dems need big money to keep it going - otherwise it dies far sooner than anyone would have thought.

Unfortunately Trump is having to pick up some dirty jobs that make him unpopular. Blame all the years of inaction from Obama.

Obama the lazy pseudo intellectual slacker thought the job was just about posing for cameras, and nothing of value or substance to his name.

Trump would win the national popular vote among these survey respondents 43 percent to Clinton's 40 percent.

 

[superbeets]

Trump's voters are sticking by his side

Still, the national survey also finds some brighter spots for the president –- chiefly in pushing for jobs and in foreign policy –- as well as deep popularity problems for the opposition party.


Sixty-seven percent say the Democratic Party is out of touch with the concerns of most Americans, even more than say the same about Trump, and similar to the Republican Party (62 percent).



That's a steeply negative turn for the Democrats, 19 percentage points more critical than when last asked three years ago, including especially steep losses in their own base.

Trump's better grades include broad 73 percent approval of his pressuring companies to keep jobs in the United States –- even most Democrats, liberals and nonwhites approve, three groups that are broadly critical of Trump more generally.

On one specific issue, a plurality, 46 percent, says he's handling the situation with North Korea "about right," as opposed to being too aggressive (37 percent) or too cautious (just 7 percent).

Similarly, a recent ABC/Post poll found 51 percent support for Trump's missile strikes on Syria; together these results make his foreign policy a comparative bright spot. They're also a contrast with Obama, seen by 53 percent as too cautious in his foreign policy in fall 2014, as he dealt with Syria and Russian intervention in Ukraine.

As noted, this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, finds no evidence of buyer's remorse among Trump supporters. Among those who report having voted for him in November, 96 percent today say it was the right thing to do; a mere 2 percent regret it.


And if a rerun of the election were held today, the poll indicates even the possibility of a Trump victory in the popular vote among 2016 voters.

 

[superbeets]

In two break-even results, Americans divide, 44-41 percent, on whether Trump is keeping most of his campaign promises, and likewise divide, 35-35 percent, on whether he's doing a better or worse job than they expected.

The president does better on another item on which he's been criticized in some quarters –- spending substantial time at commercial properties he owns, chiefly his Mar-a-Lago resort. Forty-three percent see this as a conflict of interest because it promotes those properties, but 54 percent say it's not a conflict because he has the right to go where he wants.

 

[superbeets]

As mentioned, Trump's challenges don't mean the opposition is in good shape. In March 2014, 48 percent of Americans said the Democratic Party was out of touch with the concerns of most people. Today 67 percent say so. And the biggest change has occurred chiefly among the party's own typical loyalists, with "out of touch" ratings up 33 points among liberals, 30 points among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents and 26 points among moderates and nonwhites alike.

 

[superbeets]

62 percent of Republicans think the economy’s improving; just a quarter of independents and 12 percent of Democrats agree.

Trump explains that he only called NATO obsolete because he didn't know much about NATO:

Trump doesn't know much about anything

You could not make this up

Can somebody post the fact check on negative news reports vs positive for the Donald?

Not sure if a President has ever been treated this poorly. Just imagine if they would have hammered Obama like this.....he would have been impeached 3 times over.

Might have more to do with how poorly the president is doing...

It's a disaster that there's a risk of a government shutdown just 100 days into a presidency...when the president's party controls Congress.
