A national Emerson College Polling survey found that only 45% of voters approve of the job Trump is doing as president, while 46% disapprove. Another 9% are neutral or unsure. That marks a steady slide for Trump, who had a 49% approval rating in January and was tied at 45% approval and disapproval just two months ago.

The poll also found that 53% of voters say the country is on the wrong track, while only 48% believe it’s headed in the right direction — a red flag for Trump and the Republican Party heading into next year’s midterms.

    I agree on this, even though it’s an unpopular opinion democracy requires everyone to participate in one way or another. But maybe we should be careful with recruiting them into a meaningful position they aren’t all naive innocent voters who just liked what Trump had promised them.

        because you shouldn’t compromise with people who want you dead.

        I want free healthcare, they want to deport all non whites.

        lets compromise with a 30 dollar cap in some public domain medications that cost 3 dollars to produce, and deport half a million brown people.

        genius

      those people just turned half a million civilians into targets to be disappeared.

      they should never be compromised with.

        those people

        I’m not saying nobody is evil, but if we treat the ones that aren’t as if they our enemies, we will end up fighting a much bigger and much stronger enemy. Better would be to focus on the few that control them. I don’t know if that’s 10,000 or 10,000,000 but it certainly isn’t 48% of Americans.

          they just remove civil rights of 500,000 civilians. people are dying and being disappeared from the actions of that 48%

          we need to build a better world without their consent or approval. they cant be part of the solution, and asking to work with them is like saying a surviving jew that he has yo compromise with nazis because it’s 1950s and the war is over.
