A majority of voters oppose President Donald Trump’s decision to declare a national emergency along the U.S.-Mexico border for the purpose of letting his administration shift money to build the wall Congress refused to fund, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll.
Fewer than four in 10 voters, or 39%, support Trump’s declaration, the poll shows, far fewer than the 51% who oppose it. In fact, the percentage of poll respondents who “strongly oppose” Trump’s decision, 41%, is greater than the combined share of those who “strongly support” (26%) or “somewhat support” (13%) the national emergency declaration.
Most Republicans back Trump’s decision, with 77% in support of the emergency declaration, compared with 18%who oppose it. But majorities of Democrats (81%) and independents (52%) oppose the president’s invoking the emergency provision.
The POLITICO/Morning Consult poll is the second national survey to be released since Trump announced his decision to invoke his national emergency powers to build the wall. The other, conducted by Marist College for NPR and “PBS Newshour,” found support for Trump on the issue at a similar level: 37% among registered voters. But more voters, 60%, disapprove of Trump’s decision. And 58% say he is “misusing his presidential power,” according to the poll.
I don't get it.
Ever since Trump was elected POTUS in 2016, the one thing that could be counted on was that his core base support, that now fluctuates between 34% and 39% of eligible voters in this country (36.7% average), would never abandon him, no matter what lies or crimes committed, proving Trump's declaration during his campaign that he could murder someone in broad daylight in Times Square, and it would have no effect with his supporters, and he was unfortunately right.
So, in America today the Trump minority has the power and control, while the majority are left praying that they can survive the next 1.5 years of Trump without going broke or dying in another mass shooting
What the fuck is up with that?
