   "The president’s claims have no grounding in national surveys. The RealClearPolling average puts #Trump deeply underwater, with 46% job approval (and 51% disapproval)."

     @lawyersgunsnmoney @obtener I don't think it's a coincidence that trump's overall approval rating is around 40% and that news avoiders make up 40% of our population.🤔

     @Barbramon1 @obtener Just an impression but I’m guessing news avoidance is probably significant

     Steve's Place repeated this.

     @lawyersgunsnmoney @obtener
     I watch trends, not individual polls. He's trending downward, and a number of polls show him at 38%. Disapproval ratings are up significantly in many areas, which bears watching..
     Another factor is news avoidance. A study showed that 40% of Americans avoid the news sometimes or often. They might have a superficial positive opinion of trump while being ignorant of events.
     Political experts say that people pay little attention until after Labor Day. We will see.

     @obtener It’s interesting that he has 46% positive numbers given what he has done and is doing. Seems like either people are ok with Fascism to the extent they know what it is or something is skewed with the poll
