Trump is losing in the polls

The majority is still opposed to the wall and blame Trump for the shutdown.

As I saw someone say on Twitter, prior presidents knew when to give up because they did not have support: Clinton abandoned health care and Bush gave up on privatization of Social Security.

This phony has no idea how to make a deal. He is surrounded by the cocoon of right wing media and doesn’t know what the public really thinks.

Oof.

Here's another poll from CNN. Even worse for Trump than Post/ABC.

55% blame Trump for shutdown; only 32% blame Ds.

Only 39% support wall; 56% oppose.

Trump approval: 37-57.https://t.co/MJZKmwhLC0

It should be noted that this poll shows support for the wall is up but it’s still a minority position.

JUST IN: Support for a border wall has increased to 42%, new @ABC News/WaPo poll finds, the highest percentage in ABC/WaPo polling since Donald Trump first proposed it. 54% are opposed. https://t.co/HToq9kGllG pic.twitter.com/tMgj162YbH

Poll also illustrates Trump’s uncanny ability to dissuade people from his views. Competent presidents do the opposite. https://t.co/XpW1LmFHGu

Biggest news in this poll isn’t the partisan divide on the wall; it’s that people aren’t buying what @realDonaldTrump is selling. Trump has lost on his crisis narrative: 66% to 31% oppose invoking an emergency to build his wall. Only 24% agree w/Trump that situation is a “crisis” https://t.co/PmengeDtv3

In latest @CNN poll just 38% of public supported #BorderWall – only 33% if told Mexico was not paying. In @QuinnipiacPoll no more than 43% have ever supported the wall. https://t.co/8QDK0KDfQT

— Ronald Brownstein (@RonBrownstein) January 3, 2019

A sign of how bad Trump is at negotiating. Declaring a national emergency would be highly unpopular, even more so than the wall itself, and would create a lot of awkward arguments within the GOP. Threatening to declare one creates an incentive for Democrats *not* to compromise. https://t.co/9nZ92heXPn

True, though support for the wall is rising esp among Republicans according to WaPo/ABC and I wonder if that’s the driving force. https://t.co/5nppHlCYya

Of course, Trump lies about polls like he lies about everything else:

Trump: "I just saw a poll, 75%, it was on Fox, but I just saw a poll, 75% that immigration was so important." Not sure what Fox said, but the newest poll, from the AP, found that 49% say immigration is a top-five problem; 65% of Republicans. pic.twitter.com/haPVowsjfA

Obamacare is more popular than Trump or his tax cut

Obamacare has become more popular since people now appreciate features such as protection for people with pre-existing conditions. Republicans are going against the public when they try to destroy it. They also have no replacement plan. Sad!

The latest GOP assault on Obamacare might boost its popularity even more

Wide partisan gap on abortion

Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter what the public thinks. The conservative-dominated Supreme Court will either roll back Roe v Wade or cripple it.

If you’re into smaller government, why do you think the government should be able to say you can’t have an abortion? Republicans only want government interference when it agrees with their policies.

There is deep disagreement between – and within – the American political parties over abortion. In fact, the partisan divide on abortion is far wider than it was two decades ago. https://t.co/SAmYock5Rk pic.twitter.com/8TyKcqnARh
