56 percent in new poll say Trump does not deserve reelection

Source: The Hill

More than half of registered voters say in a new poll that President Trump does not deserve to be reelected.

Fifty-six percent of voters told Gallup that the president does not deserve a second term, compared to just 43 percent who said that he is worthy of another four years in the Oval Office. The findings come less than two weeks before the presidential election as Trump battles critics over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and other issues.

The percentage of those who say that Trump deserves reelection has dropped 7 points since January, Gallup noted, and comes as the survey giant found that 55 percent of Americans say they disapprove of the president's overall job performance.

Just 43 percent of Americans said in a poll released Wednesday that they support the president's overall performance, with a 90-point gap between Republicans and Democrats, 94 to 4 percent, in that category.

between Democrats and Republicans before. This has got to be some kind of record. It's like competing realities.

The rest:

1. Don't know.
2. Don't care.
3. Have a grudge.
4. Are racists.
5. Believe that they got a tax break or will.
6. Hate liberals/democrats.
7. See a reflection of themselves in Trump.
8. Really hate their fellow Americans and want some revenge.
9. Are too ignorant to know where this is going, (dictatorship)
10. Are Evangelicals and well, who needs to list all of their deluded, christofacism.
11. Are wealthy and like how Trump protects and builds them up while drowning the middle-class and poor.
12. Are wealthy and are amazed and admire how the GOP in general can keep the masses in check with lies.
13. Qanon!

Mix and match! If you have any to add, please feel free.

Life is a game show to these people. Superficial reality, with intermittent commercials. I am frightened to the extent these people have occupations that require expertise or responsibility.

I share your concern about that.

Long ago there was the Peter Principle that suggested that people tend to get promoted to a point that they reach a level of incompetence.

I don't even think some of these folks need to get promoted.

Seriously, I cannot imagine how much worse Trump could be to change their minds. Apparently there is nothing he can do or say that will turn them off.

And teaching young people how to take a test, not how to reason.

This is what the 1% want...ignorant wage slaves.

Fuck You Koch Brothers - this is on YOU!!!!!!!!
