Study released a day before State of the Union address shows president has lost support among Republicans

Most US adults think Donald Trump is moving the country in the wrong direction during his second presidency, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll released the day before his State of the Union speech.

Fifty-five percent of adults feel that Trump is changing the country for the worse, a 13-point increase from around the same time of his first presidency, the survey conducted from 27 to 30 January found.

The number of people who held that view also increased four points from April.

Unsurprisingly, support for the president splits down party lines.

    For the dumb dumbs that voted for him but now think he’s moving in the wrong direction, just what they fuck did they think he was going to do?

    He ran on carrying out vendettas against his personal enemies and doing incredibly stupid shit like culture wars, tariffs, and mass deportation.

        No, I assure you, I am a loser… But I never supported Trump in anything, and certainly not as a politician.

        I would support however his effort to furtilize a random field in Montana with his corpse. But nothing else really.

      Well you said it. They are dumb dumbs. And dumb dumbs believe the first thing they are told, any information that they are given after that is “fake news”.

        It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.

      Kill people they don’t like, of course. I’m sure there are a few people who want a legal reason to hunt down and murder the woman who unmatched and blocked them on Tinder.
