Times are pretty good and getting better.
Unemployment is down, wages are up, the stock markets are running withe bulls and the tax cuts are pretty much paying for themselves.
And yet Trump's approval ratings are in the low 40s with even internal GOP polling showing Pelosi winning the one-on-one contest:
I wonder if you understand that in polling there are folks who wont ADMIT to being behind this president but when push comes to shove they will vote for (their wallet and safety) him.
No need to wonder. I understand the argument, just as well as I understand that you have no factual basis on which to make it. His silent majority is a myth. Polling before the election that showed he would lose the popular vote by 2-3% ended up being correct. And your theory is not consistent with polling that shows an 8% advantage for Democrats in congress largely due to a desire of Americans to oppose him. His “strongly disapprove” numbers are also at historic highs. 49% of Americans, according to the last Washington Post-ABC poll, approve of impeachment. This is not because people are too sheepish to tell pollsters their true feelings.
And even if your unsupported theory is true…Trump’s been carrying these dismal numbers for almost his entire administration. Isn’t it remarkable that as soon as 2 months into Trump’s term so many Americans don’t want to publicly admit they support him? Why would that be? You think that speaks well for his electoral future?
