President Donald Trump's net approval rating dropped in nearly every state last month, with the biggest dips seen in Republican majority states, according to the latest Morning Consult tracker.
Trump's rating fell in 43 states in December, the survey updated on Friday shows, and six of the seven biggest drops from the previous month were in states that Trump won in the 2016 presidential election.
The president's net approval fell from November to December by 9 percent in Alaska, which Trump won in the election. Trump's rating dipped 8 percent in the same time period in Louisiana and Montana, which he also won in 2016.
Among the states with the largest falls for Trump, Hawaii, with an 8 percent drop, was the only state he lost to Hillary Clinton.
The next highest dips, of 7 percent, came in the Republican states of Alabama, Tennessee and Missouri.

So? He's President until 2020 at the least. If you snowflakes weren't so all consumed with hating him you might actually get something done. If a true Conservative primaries him I'll vote for the Conservative. I'm a decorum conservative. I agree with much of what Trump has done and cannot listen to his statements. Personally I can't stand him. Never could, but when it comes to running a business, or company, corporation, or a country feelings shouldn't matter. That's all you little snowflakes have left is your hurt little feelings and I can prove it. During the reign of George Bush you guys whined constantly about expanding wars and interfering in the ME. Now you guys are all for war in Syria or anywhere else Trump wants to leave. Likewise, in 2006 you guys were all for fencing on the Southern Border. Easily provable. Now you applaud idiots like Pelosi saying walls are immoral and disparage the guys on the border who actually do the work, and say that wall would benefit them. Likewise you snowflakes lecture the rest of us on decorum and manners using Trump (which he is) as a bad example. Then you fall all over yourselves defending the despicable remarks of an Anti-American Muslim congress woman. I am responding basically because someone besides you may read this. I realize you are an anti-American Muslim loving troll. Much like Obama.

Trump could be the most honest president in modern history. When it comes to the real barometer of presidential truthfulness — keeping his promises — Trump is a paragon of honesty. For better or worse, since taking office, Trump has done exactly what he promised he would do.

Trump kept his promise to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, something his three immediate predecessors also promised yet failed to do. He promised to “crush and destroy ISIS,” and two years later he is on the verge of eliminating Islamic State’s physical caliphate. He promised to impose a travel ban on countries that he saw as posing a terrorist threat, and after several false starts the final version of his ban was upheld by the Supreme Court.

Trump pledged to nominate Supreme Court justices “in the mold of Justice (Antonin) Scalia,” and now Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh sit on the high court. Trump also pledged to fill the federal appellate courts with young, conservative judges, and so far the Senate has confirmed 29 — more than any recent president at this point in his administration.

Trump promised to cancel President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan, withdraw from the Paris climate accord, approve the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, and open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to exploration. He fulfilled all of those pledges.

On trade, he kept his promise to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and impose tariffs on steel and aluminum. He also committed to renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement and the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement — and recently signed new deals with Mexico, Canada and South Korea. He committed to imposing tariffs on China to force it to open its markets and stop its theft of intellectual property — and is following through on that pledge.

Where Trump has failed to keep promises, such as building the wall or repealing Obamacare, it has not been for a lack of trying. Yes, he takes liberties with the truth. But unlike his predecessor, he did not pass his signature legislative achievement on the basis of a lie (“If you like your health care plan, you can keep it”) — which is clearly worse than falsely bragging that your tax cut is the biggest ever.

The fact is, in his first two years, Trump has compiled a remarkable record of presidential promise-keeping.

You leftist idiots can't change the facts, so you just lie to the very low-intelligence voters to try to hide the fact that he lies less than your beloved turd-in-a-suit Obama. He's doing what he said he'd do, and I'm glad I voted for him.

Re-elect Trump in 2020, and also give him a strong supportive Republican majority in both the House and Senate, so he can really Make America Great Again!

Build the Wall, Deport Them All!

They don't care about promises kept. They just constantly point at Trumps exagerations as these terrible harmful lies. I don't know of one supposed lie that Trump has told that has harmed one American. Yet, Obama told lies that directly affected Americans. Save $2500 per family on Obamacare. Lying POS. My premiums and out of pocket quadrupled.

To be a conservative is to repeat the same discredited notions over and over again in the hope that'll make them override reality.
Just a few quick facts; there were no "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq, nor were they developing them. Further, al Qa'ida had no presence in Iraq until AFTER the criminal invasion. That invasion resulted in the death of, by the lowest estimate, 2% of its population and the displacement of more than 10% of its population. "We" did little to defeat IS. That was done by Kurds and Shi'a cadres funded by Iran. Conservatism, as espoused by the criminal Cheney was murderously wrong. And don't forget the Haliburton stock Cheney refused to divest. The war in Iraq made him, literally tens of millions. As for advocating withdrawal, it's still the only sensible thing to do. It is incredibly stupid to withdraw precipitously, leaving our allies in the lurch and giving Putin a free hand.

EVERY recession since 1980 has occurred during the presidency of a Repugnican. Reagan sponsored two dandies, and Bush's first one came on the heels of a tax cut. If you track only the value of stocks, the Orange Menace is a couple of weeks from another. Obama and Clinton had only the recessions they inherited from their predecessors. Laffer Curves ought to be called Laughable Curves. Keynesianism, on the other hand has a near perfect record of success.
The right continually demonstrates an ignorance of history. Example: the first clause of the Second Amendment is not adventitious; several articles in the Federalist make that abundantly clear.
Efforts to control non-existant voter fraud are so obviously a concerted attempt to suppress traditionally Democrat voting blocs as to suggest the right is every bit as dishonest as they act.
I could go on; suggesting climate scientists are corrupted by miniscule research grants while citing big oil-sponsored studies is perfectly vapid. Overturning hard-won civil rights legislation is a transparent attempt to maintain white privilege, and has contributed mightily to the rise of proto-fascist groups.
Hillary Clinton understated the case; nearly all the right are in the "basket of deplorables."
That snowflakes trope is delightfully ironic.

Such BS statements. Typical lefty drivel. What discredited notions? Smaller govt. ?personal responsibility? Family tradition? If no weapons of mass destruction why did many Democrats like Hillary vote for the war? Because they had the same intelligence Bush had from those vaunted 19 intelligence agencies you fools love to site. The spread of terror groups in Iraq came about because of Obama’s quick withdrawal. We crushed ISIS. I know you don’t like America winning but tough. Show me Cheney’s criminal record please. Recessions generally caused over a length of time of bad decisions. Who came before Reagan. The Housing crisis caused the recession under Bush. Get some education. When did that particular problem start? Any President who takes credit for the stock market, including Trump is a fool. The Fed has much more to do with the market. Hold it. You remind me of the troll glaucon. That’s right. You have no discernible thought. Just talking points. Good bye. .

Sorry. I mistook you for sentient being.
The opposition to the Iraq incursion was vocal and widespread, but, being a fantasist, you probably thought it was "fake news."
And both of my senators and my Rep voted against it.
Add to that the FACT that, as usual, we were right (no WMD, no terrorists) and you were wrong ('they're all Muslims aren't they'), you arrive thereby at discredited notion no. 1. Terror groups in Iraq were well entrenched by 2005. The "surge" worked because the Mahdi Army fought al Qa'ida. If you were half as smart as me, you'd know that.

So, you do not think 'trickle down' economics, a peripatetic deceit of righties works? A recession is about more than the stock prices. The crash of '07 was caused by deregulation, irrespective of any proximate cause. Derivatives are bad, period. Unrestrained speculation is not prosperity. And, in 2006, y'all were talking up Bush because the stock market was climbing. It was in all the newspapers.
Nixon, and his WIN ("whip inflation now") buttons came before Reagan. The epitome of fecklessness. Reagan stopped inflation by causing the worst recession since 1929. On purpose. The second recession ensued from ill-advised budget cuts.
Small government is an artefact of physiocrat economics. Its time is three centuries past.
And "site" means place. You wanted "cite," genius.
You are a true conservative; blind, deaf, dumb, and mouthy.
