CNN Poll: 57% of Country Says We're on the Right Track; Trump's Policies (Though Not Trump Himself) See Rise in Popularity

Last week, the unemployment rate fell to 3.9%, a level unseen since Peak Heat of the Clinton Bubble. Jobs increased by only 164,000, but lately those figures have gone up upon revision.

A solid majority of the public, 57%, says the country's on the right track.

And while Trump remains unpopular, his actual policies are increasing in popularity.

President Donald Trump's approval rating is holding steady in a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, but his numbers on handling several key issues are climbing, as almost 6 in 10 say things in the country are going well.
Overall, 41% approve of the President's work, and 53% disapprove. Those numbers are about the same as at the end of March.
On the issues, however, Trump's numbers are climbing. Approval is up 4 points on the economy to 52%, the first time it's topped 50% since March 2017; up 5 points on foreign trade to 43% approval; and his numbers on immigration have improved 4 points since February, with 40% now approving. On handling foreign affairs, Trump's approval rating tops 40% for the first time since April of 2017, though the increase since March is not statistically significant (42% approve currently).
The President's improving issue ratings come amid a sharp rise in positive impressions of how the country is doing. Overall, 57% say things are going well in the US today -- up from 49% saying the same in February -- which is the largest proportion to say so since January of 2007.

We probably read the same article. The problem is not with the premise of the article, which is that labor participation rates are at historically low levels, it's that this fact wasn't brought up during the Obama reign of misery.

And then for the GOP we have the Bush cousin with strong resemblance to Jeb's weak face, and some crypto dude trying to paint himself as a local Trump whom I suspect is a Soros plant (the Dems pulled off something similar 8 years ago) and the guy I like because of BTHs endorsement seems to have little money raised since I don't hear ads for him

I've seen Greg Lopez speak twice. If Stapleton hadn't crashed the Assembly, Lopez would have sailed away with a clear majority of its votes. But lots of moderate Republicans think Stapleton is the 'electable!' one, so they gave Stapleton the plurality. . .

I heard at the Morondevous that Lopez has issues over gun rights. But I'm not seeing it here - I'm seeing an objection to new laws, like that "red flag" bullshit which our House sent to our Senate.

115 We rejoin our saga:

Weeks have gone by, but time means little to
the eternal patience of Fu Manchu. He finally calls a halt to the
"slapping of the stupid" when his Mongolians whimper that their hands
can take no more.

"Fine, fine, be off with you. I need better Mongolians." He turns to the NeverTrumpers and states "Now do you know who I am?"
All of them nod in reply.
"Good. Because if you didn't I would have to feed you to the oysters."
"Oysters? Isn't it usually sharks?"
"Oysters are slower, and more painful for you."
"Oh, um you now that as I am Jewish, we have to avoid shellfish..." Bill Kristol starts.
"Silence! Or I will sink your little cruise boat you diminutive buffoon!"
"Please, anything but that! Cruises are the only way I can support the lavish lifestyle I am accustomed to living!"
Ignoring
the whimpering fool, the inscrutable Fu Manchu begins his oration. "I
am Dr. Fu Manchu, evil genius oriental scientist and wizard. I have,
through the arts and sciences of the Orient unknown to westerners,
extended my lifespan beyond that of ordinary mortals. My secret Jade
Empire controls many of the worlds diabolical organizations - the
Illuminati, Bilderbergers, Guild of Calamitous Intent, and the Disney
Corporation."
George Will interrupts. "Say, you're one of those
Oriental gentlemen, from China I believe. Tom Friedman, a friend of
mine, has great things to say about your communist system."
"I AM NOT
A COMMIE!" Fu Manchu shouts. I am a noble being of Mandarin lineage
and despise jumped up peasants! Now shut up before I have a baseball
crammed in your upper class yap!"
Regaining his composure, Fu Manchu
continues. "While it is obvious to the meanest intelligence - yours -
that I am superior to you, you are, unfortunately, part of the
privileged class of your upstart nation. For my diabolical plans to
reach full fruition I shall need to defeat the Golden Scalp weasel and
he who bears it. This is something you desire?"
Jen Rubin squees
with joy "Oh, to defeat the Golden Scalp Weasel and return true
conservatism to its rightful place as door mats for the Democrats to
wipe the filth off of their shoes on!"
"I knew this. You shall swear
obeisance to me and the Jade Empire and with your pitiful assistance I
shall rid the world of the Golden Scalp Weasel."

The NeverTrumpers swear hideous oaths to Fu Manchu, setting the stage for one the most savage betrayals since last week.

Will the NeverTrumpers get their desire? Will Bill Kristol lose his best form of income? Will the Golden Scalp Weasel fall?
More coming in "The Snares of Fu Manchu" and soon-ish.

And he's doing IN SPITE of all the assholes who hate America that populate the Government, the media, and academia.

It reminds me of the line from the Police song:

"Poets, Priests and Politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
and no one's jamming their transmission

Cause when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you."

Very Stable Genius Donald Trump is jamming their transmission.

I'm hoping he keeps the jamming up until he jams his boot up the ass of the so called elites.

Trump's going to gut the deal, no doubt.

I'd be surprised if it's anything other than a giant middle finger to that deal. He's on record for several years now calling it a piece of shit. Also it's another one of Barry's "accomplishments" chucked into the dust bin. Trump likes busting up Barry's efforts.

In a reaction that absolutely no one could predict, Iran will immediately go batshit crazy over Trump's announcement. The usual threatening of violence, etc. Which really proves who needs a deal with these shitheads?

BUT...Trump will not take a deal totally off the table. Trump wants to stabilize and strive for peace as much as possible. More importantly, he'll want his better deal to supplant Barry's disaster.

Will Trump bring about world peace? No, but I do think he'll be able to deal with a few festering points in a way that's better than what anyone has done in decades.

171 This is what happened to horn dog Clinton, the R's thought they could beat him in 1996 because of his lower approval numbers, but those weren't the real numbers. People liked the job he was hired to do (even though most of the credit could be laid at Newt's feet), so they said "I don't like him, but I am going to vote for him." I think Gallup first separated their job/personal approval numbers because of this.

Now, if Kerry actually is instrumental in some military or intelligence action that Iran takes against us, that's got nothing to do with the Logan Act anymore, and is just flat out Treason. So we can shoot the bastard on sight as an enemy combatant. (hyperbole, of course, but you know what I mean)

199 Remember that political scientists who's been predicting the Whitehouse winner based on the 13 "Keys to the Whitehouse"? According to the theory if 6 more more of these statements are "false", then the out of power party wins:

1. Party Mandate: After the midterm elections, the incumbent party holds more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives than after the previous midterm elections.
2. Contest: There is no serious contest for the incumbent party nomination.
3. Incumbency: The incumbent party candidate is the sitting president.
4. Third party: There is no significant third party or independent campaign.
5. Short term economy: The economy is not in recession during the election campaign.
6. Long term economy: Real per capita economic growth during the term equals or exceeds mean growth during the previous two terms.
7. Policy change: The incumbent administration effects major changes in national policy.
8. Social unrest: There is no sustained social unrest during the term.
9. Scandal: The incumbent administration is untainted by major scandal.
10. Foreign/military failure: The incumbent administration suffers no major failure in foreign or military affairs.
11. Foreign/military success: The incumbent administration achieves a major success in foreign or military affairs.
12. Incumbent charisma: The incumbent party candidate is charismatic or a national hero.
13. Challenger charisma: The challenging party candidate is not charismatic or a national hero.

How many of those do you *possibly* see going the Dems way at this point? (... assuming NK peace deal works out, there are no major foreign policy fuck-ups, and Tax Reform is considered a major policy achievement.)

248 On the North Korea thing:

Trump did this from two fronts:

He's put China's nuts in a by reseting the trade deals, including NAFTA (China was /is using NAFTA as a backdoor)

He (actually Mattis) killed the many North Korea Army puppet masters in that Nuke Test site collapse. Kim Jung Un is just a figurehead, like the Mandarin in Ironman 3. I'm surprised he didn't ask for a Diet Pepsi at the DMZ meeting. North Korea's shit is weak right now.

Now Iran has no ally in NorKo, Syria is a greater liability than asset for them (and Russia), and the Saudis are playing nice with the US and Isreal so the Obama and McCain sponsored ISIS is toast. Plus the Palestinians shit is weaker too.

Trump isn't playing cutesy games. People are going to pay. Look for some things to happen out of the UK, Canada and Australia for their part in trying assist Obama and Clinton with overthrowing our government. They will probably limit it to some of their persons, but they will make sure that it is known that people like Downer and Steele stomped on their dick, along with a couple of spooks that went rogue, will see the inside of a prison.
