[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 2756820, member: 2189"] Trump's rating are still above that of Congress which about a month or so ago (Congressional ratings) was up but still under the historical average of 30%. I see the disapproval (as oppose to approval) ratings not as much about the individual politician as much as the patience of people with the system overall is running out. Put another way, over 70% disapprove of Congress and 60% to 65% disapprove of the President. Personally I'd like to see those number grow larger by about 15 to 20 points. A lot more of Trump's vote was as much a kind of protest vote against the status quo as many on both sides of the isle want to admit. Recently Bernie Sanders went into West Virginia and had a Town Hall with Trump voters in which the reaction towards Bernie and many of the things he talks about were very positive as oppose to negative. This suggests to me that Trump votes were not as much for doctrinaire reasons but rather as a way of voicing themselves against the typical menu the 2 political party's try and force on the American voter. This is where all this will be interesting to watch as we move forward the next year or so. If Trump's number stay or decline and democrats can't capitalize, this will make going into the 2020 election cycle very interesting/fun times for political party atheists and for very nervous times for the political party religionists.
