Poll Shows Americans Trust Nancy Pelosi More Than President Donald Trump
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Pelosi should send the GOP roses
The latest Quinnipiac poll shows , “American voters trust House Speaker Nancy Pelosi more than President Donald Trump, 49 - 42 percent ‘on issues that are important to you.’ . . . Independent voters trust Pelosi more than President Trump 49 - 36 percent.” There is a substantial gender gap, with men preferring Trump by a small margin, and women preferring Pelosi 54-37 percent. Trump has over 80 percent backing from his party; Pelosi has over 90 percent.
Judging from this and the president’s nose-dive during the shutdown, he might want to avoid tangling with Pelosi, at least in the short term. There really is no good news here for Republicans:
Trump and Republicans in Congress are responsible for the partial government shutdown, 56 percent of voters say, as 34 percent say Democrats are responsible.
American voters trust Democrats in Congress more than President Trump “on the issue of border security” 50 - 41 percent. Independent voters trust Democrats more [at] 50 - 37 percent.
Democrats in Congress have a negative 38 - 57 percent job approval rating, their best grade since a negative 38 - 50 percent approval rating in a July 2, 2009 survey. Republicans in Congress get a negative 30 - 65 percent job approval rating . . . Trump gets a negative 38 - 57 percent job approval rating, compared to a negative 41 - 55 percent score January 15.

As in prior polling, Trump rates horribly on some issues (37-58 percent on foreign policy and 38-59 percent on immigration), while he’s now slightly underwater on the economy. Trying to shut down the government again, or use emergency powers to get wall money, would almost certainly be a political disaster.
Americans oppose a wall (55-41 percent), don’t think it will significantly reduce crime (64-33 percent) or drugs (60-37 percent), and would not significantly decrease the amount of illegal drugs in the U.S., voters say, 60-37 percent.
Voters by a large margin (61-33 percent ) favor border security with no wall, and by an even greater margin oppose his use of executive, so-called “emergency” powers (66-31 percent).
Finally, “American voters also oppose 68 - 26 percent shutting down the government to get funding for a wall. Shutting down the government for leverage in policy disagreements is ‘inappropriate,’ voters say 79 - 16 percent.”
We don't govern by polls.
If we did, the PPACA would have never been passed.
If we governed by polls the PPACA would never have been passed.
As Mr. Trumps credibility factor hoovers somewhere around zero or less, this would come as no surprise.
And it may actually get much worse as more and more Republicans are really starting to become even moreannoyed over Trump's betrayal of the country on the real issue re: national security:
Trump Calls His Own Intel Chiefs 'Extremely Passive And Naive'
Trump on Wednesday lashed out at his own intelligence chiefs a day after they gave a Senate committee assessments of foreign threats that radically differed from his own.
On Tuesday, the directors of the CIA, the FBI, the National Security Agency and national intelligence testified publicly before the Senate Intelligence Committee that China and Russia currently pose the biggest risks to the United States.
Their views on relations with North Korea, Iran and Syria were conspicuously at odds with what Trump has said about those countries ( Read it all)
Yes and most polls showed Trump losing to Hillary in 2016 ...... yawn!
Rump had a little help . . . yawn!
Yawn ..... snoring now ......
So did HRC and she still lost...
What help did Hillary get?
I know!
Comey exonerated their darling old Abuela and she still lost!
Well, Barak Obama, the DNC, Bernie Sanders, and George Soros come to mind off the top of my head. I am sure there are many more...
Being given debate questions in advance?
The Justice Dept. turning a blind eye to her?
How did they help Hillary?
Talk about completely ass backwards.
“President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?”
“Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.”
I'm not sure how it can be any more clear than a direct admission from Putin himself in Helsinki. Why do you have such a hard time accepting the truth? Putin wanted Trump to win, spent $1.25 million a month on the social media propaganda blitz in Trumps favor, illegally hacked the DNC and stole emails which he then released the same day Trumps infamous bus tape came out (coincidence? I think not), and now openly admits he wanted Trump to win and directed his people to help Trump surreptitiously.
The Russians wanted her elected because they knew she would be easily bullied and pushed around.
Link?
Look out there on the horizon.
See that plume of dust?
That's Wally running away from his comment.
Campaigning for her, campaign fund contributions, and endorsements just to name a few...
But Rump had help from Putin and Fux 'news' with their 24/7 all Rump propaganda network
And CNN and MSNBC weren’t working around the clock for Hillary?
You beat me to the punch on that one.
And CBS and NBC and ABC and the NY Times and others were all in the bag for Hillary
Don't forget The Washington Post and The Huffington Post either...
The far right Koch brothers are (and have been for a long time) the largest contributors to fascism.
Campaigning for her, campaign fund contributions, and endorsements just to name a few...
Links?
Even Cuomo said on air CNN has done everything they could to help Hillary.
Oh come on, you are smarter than that. I don't think Obama, Soros, Bernie, and other progressives campaigned for Trump. It is somewhat redundant to ask for links to something everybody knows already..
I believe it !!!!!

" Hillary Clinton has a 7-point lead over Donald Trump nationally, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday."
Gee, I wonder whatever happened to that 7 point lead?
Quinnipiac got out side of the California and New York borders and found it wasn't Prudent for their agenda.
Ooooops !
I just wonder how long before we hear all the usual "Well, the polls were spot on and showed Hillary winning the popular vote by 2-3 points, which she did" claptrap?
It's already started !
Kamala De'Vil can beat Trump....according tooooooo…….. hmmmmmm.
" Hillary Clinton has a 7-point lead over Donald Trump nationally, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday."
While the exact percentage varied from day to day, ( another poll a day or two before the poll you choose might have given her only a 5% point lead-- or an 8% pt lead) the fact is that the final results (the actual vote on election day) was easily won by Hillary-- by close to 3 million votes!:
Hillary Clinton wins 2,864,974 more votes than Donald Trump, final US election count shows
So Hillary did in fact win the election.
(Obviously the reason she didn't get to win the office of president was because of our strange Electoral College system which occasionally allows the loser of the election to hold office).
So Hillary did not win. She lost like every other candidate who failed to get the required number of electoral votes, as required by law.
Now, if the popular vote is some sort of second place trophy for her, have fun polishing it up for her.
Comey didn't exonerate Hillary. How foolish
Looks like someone got their emoji privileges back. Abuse them and lose them!
Kinda like that?
I just could not resist
You so silly!
Love it!
Comey decided not to prosecute Hillary Clinton.
She should thank him for that.
There was nothing to prosecute her for.
She holds a 7% trust lead over a NY real estate developer who may very well be the least trustworthy person in America.
The fact is there was no question on the poll to accurately reflect the true opinions of the American public.
Those questions would go:
Central Americans maybe.
Hillary must really be bad! Polls taken just before the 2016 election showed her being even less trustworthy than Trump.
So you send people to a redirect Russian blog site? How telling that move is.
TIME is a Russian blog?
