    Amid the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, President Donald Trump’s job approval rating has declined since last month, and cracks in the president’s base are part of the reason.

    President Trump’s job approval score stands at 39% among Americans, down from 42% in December 2018. The president’s negative rating is 53%, a 4-point increase from 49% previously. Trump’s job approval rating has declined among Republicans, 83% from 90%. Among white evangelical Christians, Trump’s approval rating is now +43 points, down from +56 points in December. Among men who reside in small cities or the suburbs, President Trump’s score is upside down, 42% to 48%. A little more than a month ago, a majority of these residents (51%) approved of how Trump was doing his job. 39%, at the time, did not. The president’s approval score among white men without a college education (50%) is now +15 points over his negative rating (35%), marking a change from a previous +22 points at the end of the year (56% to 34%).

    The proportion of Americans who strongly disapprove of how the president is doing his job (45%) is nearly double those who strongly approve (24%). Adults who report an intense dissatisfaction with Mr. Trump’s job performance matches the largest proportion with this view (45%) since December 2017.

    It is shocking that the President's approval rating has declined in the aftermath of a government shutdown and the constant drumbeat of negative stories about it on the news. Just shocking.

    More people, including his base, are beginning to understand just how bad a president he really is.

    Those of us who are Christian, and appreciate His stance on abortion, world trade, fighting terrorists, will always support him, so why would we car about those who support anti Christian agendas and policies, like the prior President did>

    Are you saying Maxine Waters of West Hollywood will ram an impeachment bill through the House?

    Actually, I wouldn't do that if I were the Democratic leader. I'd let the Republicans go down with Trump. They made their bed, let them lie in it.

    This would be interesting if it weren't my country that Trump is taking down.

    Do you think that the FBI supplied the gun and bullet that murdered MLK?

    So unlike his base you don’t crave a tyrant? I personally have no allegiances to any political party or any politician. I have but one allegiance, and that is to my own freedom, my own stature as a man, and for that I would fight to the death.

    Tomorrow is MLK Day and the FBI is dirty today and part of the trouble that skewers Trump's ratings. It is possible that the real assassins of MLK were the FBI, isn't it?
