Protests orchestrated and endorsed by the Democrats, for precisely that purpose!


On the polls, there are overall Trump Presidential approval polls, and here are those polls, all of them, going back roughly a year:

On specific issues, such as handling the economy, handling the Covid-19 pandemic, handling China, handling military issues, Trump scores much higher. At one point on handling Covid-19, Trump was at 60% approval.

But since then, under the barrage of close to 100% negative media coverage, that polled support has declined slightly.

But I still don't trust the polls, these same polls said Hillary Clinton would win in 2016. And as I've said repeatedly, liberal pollsters manipulate the sample and over-sample the Democrat ratio of voters to get the numbers they want.

Newt Gingrich said a few months ago during the impeachment hearings that: "I've never seen a president that could endure 100% negative coverage from the media and still maintain support".
But that is precisely what Trump is doing. Because public trust of the deceitful partisan-liberal media has declined to that point, as they've been proven to have innaccurately reported over and over. They have clearly lost any pretense of objectivity, and have become partisan zealots for the Democrat cause. As have liberal pollsters.

On the key issue that presidents are re-elected on, the economy, Trump has a high margin of support, 56%.
