That article headline is pure fluffer poo poo that serves to be quoted by RWM shits for days "NPR says trumps approval rating dropped less than any other president in first 4 months!!! NPR of all outlets can see the truth of this" I can hear it in Rush's voice and it makes me sick. Chilichimp fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jun 3, 2017 |

Reminder that Trump's insane 37% approval rating is at the same time as a 4.3% unemployment, a 16 year low. Labor force participation isn't so good, but overall Obama handed Trump a smooth economy. Imagine what even a slight recession will do to Trump's numbers. If we bumped up to say, 6% UE, he's got to be toast.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:The only thing that will mean Trump is 'toast' is GOP legislators fearing for their reelection. Which happens as soon as Trump's at sub 30% approval, I think. Which happens if UE goes up or he mishandles a Katrina. That's actually a good question - what's the approval number Trump has to hit for the GOP to turn on him? 30? 20?

There's a slight (around one percent) bias towards the left. Wait for Ispos or Q poll before taking the new numbers as gospel.

Labor force participation isn't so good, but overall Obama handed Trump a smooth economy. Imagine what even a slight recession will do to Trump's numbers. If we bumped up to say, 6% UE, he's got to be toast. Also this. If unemployment rises (and it most likely will) Trump will see his numbers begin to crater. He's supposed to be the jobs guy. If people start losing their jobs and being unable to find new ones they'll begin to turn on him. Ice Phisherman fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Jun 3, 2017 |

It would be ok with me if we basically stayed at full employment because Trump and the GOP can't stop fighting internally about how to cut taxes and kill people so everything just kind of coasts along on auto pilot. We probably can't count on that though, somewhere, somehow, someone is going to do something to gently caress up the economy.

If we bumped up to say, 6% UE, he's got to be toast. It's far more likely the economy will boom under Trump. It's been poised for a bump and all it needed was a little inflation (in the form of higher wages). Trump wants more inflation since that will result in higher wages, which makes him look better. Also, he and his companies carry a lot of debt.

The one thing im really hoping for is for the economy to stay on track like it's been. I don't care if it makes Trump look good. The last thing we need is an economic downturn with Trump in office. Let's just say I and many others have zero confidence he won't do anything except make it worse.

I'm sure the GOP are in grave fear of losing their seats, considering Montana just elected a GOP congressman that assaulted a journalist. We can always trust the American electorate to do the right thing and stand up for sanity.

You're probably not going to get it. Trump and the republicans are not going to inspire confidence in big business with how they're acting right now. We're most likely looking at a mild to moderate recession sometime in the next four years. We're about due for one. There are a number of economic bubbles that may pop in the next two to four years.

We can always trust the American electorate to do the right thing and stand up for sanity. While I understand Ossof is close and Montana was close(r than it has been), the thing that everyone clamoring over the poll swings needs to also understand is that these are still now Republican House seats. We are not going to credit for nearly winning. If we do not take back the House, Republicans will still own all three branches and we will be hosed until 2020.

I have a feeling that if Trump causes another government shutdown on purpose he'll crush the republican party's already bad numbers because that's what happened the last time the republicans did this. The dems and republicans might actually override him in this case.
