Status Quo Joe Biden-- The Perfect Candidate, At Least From Trump's Perspective
A new poll from NBC News released late last week, had some bad news for Trump. In July 32% of registered voters strongly approved of the way Trump was handling his job and the new poll shows that has sunk to 29%. Meanwhile, in the July sample, 41% strongly disapproved of how Trump was handling his job and that has increased to 44%. Much of Trump's support is coming from the former slave states that made up the Confederacy, although even those states disapproval has gone from 45% to 47%. Fucked up states, right? Well, that's also where much of Joe Biden's support comes from-- the c... more »
