  Trump’s Popularity Revisits Low as Government Agencies Shut Down
  
  Morning Consult: Days into a partial government shutdown triggered by President Donald Trump’s demand for increased funding for his proposed wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, a new Morning Consult survey finds voters as bearish as ever on the president’s job performance.
  
  In the Dec. 21-23 poll, which began surveying registered voters two hours before some government agencies shut down amid an impasse over wall funding, 39 percent of registered voters — including 80 percent of Republicans — approved of the president’s job performance, while 56 percent — including 90 percent of Democrats and 57 percent of independents — did not.
  
  Those figures match the nadir of the president’s popularity in August 2017 — when Trump responded to the fatal melee between white supremacists and counter-protesters at the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., by blaming “many sides.”
  
  The latest national online survey of 1,992 registered voters was conducted amid a hectic news cycle, when Trump made major news on a number of fronts.

  Let's see how high that percentage is after the Social Security checks stop
  
  Or the airports shut down. Of course, the politicians on both sides know this very well and will be sure to keep the $$$ flowing…

  When is Mexico going to step up to the plate and chip in $5B?
  
  That’s the only way Trumpet will keep his campaign promise.
  
  Since that ain’t happening, then why is he shutting us down? Because we’ve hitched our wagon to an ego.

  Never fear, Nancy and Chuck will come through.
  
  Like when their Peerless Leader (the Kill Crazy Lovecraftian Horror) was “proud to vote for border security.”

    Neither are known for their determination to stick to their guns, unless those guns are aimed at progressives, of course.

  That won't make any difference for him. I still believe that the theocratic nutcase Pence
  
  was chosen for Trump’s protection. Also Reagan’s “truism” still holds:
  
  “People forget what I said 3 days ago” in spite of the internet. As far
  
  as 2020 is concerned Trump will be primaried anyway by members
  
  of his own party.

    John Kasich is almost certain to primary Trump, assuming Trump makes it that far. Kasich is the Third Way's worst nightmare, a
    
    reasonable Republican. He would be tough for them to beat. Bernie could beat him with real policy differences, which Kasich himself would emphasize. Beto would not stand a chance.

  That\'s exactly what I expect. Especially when I came home to see some newsperson making noise
  
  about Trump reducing his request to only 2 billion like the dems want him to.
  
  only 2 billion. f.. them all.
