"But he is also beginning to appear simultaneously as a rather weak chief executive, uninterested in competent management or follow-through, bedeviled by divisions within his own party, transfixed by cable news, and swiftly discrediting himself by an endless stream of lies, delusions, and conspiracy theories. Even the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal challenged his credibility last Tuesday. They did this because, at this point, among sane people, he quite obviously has none. The polling, meanwhile, is brutal. Gallup puts Trump a full 21 percentage points below average for presidents at this point of their administration. Real Clear Politics’ poll of polls shows a new high in disapproval this week, over 50 percent, and a new low in approval, at 43. Gallup finds him in the upper 50s of disapproval, and in the upper 30s in approval. Even GOP-friendly Rasmussen now has his disapproval at 53. Quinnipiac sees his support among whites and men falling, and discovers that 60 percent of Americans think he’s dishonest and 61 percent say his values are different than theirs.
The polling is more brutal than you realize. A Washington Post (!) poll shows that Trump would beat Hillary by an even larger margin now than he did in November. It further showed that he would now win the popular vote too. You can't beat something with nothing and these polls show that workers, especially white working men, are becoming so embedded in the Republican Party that they may be there for generations. Speaking of generations: don't forget that 80% of America's college students voted for Bernie Sanders... who wasn't even a registered Democrat. As we speak, they're forming a new "Social Democratic Party" based on the European model. Their goal is to destroy the Democratic Party, not reform it. Trump may be all we've got to stop this.
