His popularity will improve if his policies bear fruit, I agree. However, I’ve already written posts about why I think that’s unlikely.

Also, approval of some policies is based on ignorance by some people. For example, they genuinely believe the immigration/refugee suspension EO makes the country safer, that it’s possible to bring back coal jobs, that fossil fuels are cheaper long-term, that tax cuts for the rich will create jobs etc.

Parts of his infrastructure policy is very good. I wonder whether 1. Congress will give him the money and 2. When it works they’ll acknowledge it’s the same thing Obama wanted to do years ago and Congress wouldn’t let him.

The linked article cites a Politico poll — which nobody would say is Trump-friendly. The IBD/TIPP poll had similar results.

Men approve of Trump’s job performance, though it’s true that a majority of the fairer sex do not approve just yet. But the article makes the point that Trump’s policies are more popular than he is, and people generally expect those policies to be good for growth. When that materializes, his personal popularity inevitably would improve, and Democrats would find themselves in an even deeper quandary.

That’s enough guys. I’m having the last word on this one.

Most USians disapprove of Trump’s performance. You need to look at stats from reliable polling organisations rather than just asking your friends.

Muster enough discipline to cease being disingenuous and we’ll have no reason to complain about it.

Why is it necessary to label people at all? Perhaps we could try to develop the discipline to address ideas instead.

Disingenuous is the only way that makes sense to describe you. Either that, or you’re actually an idiot who can’t tell the difference, but I don’t believe is true.

Imputing bad faith is a mean and convoluted way to explain a simple difference of opinion.

Most Americans approve of the executive orders. The judicial system is perfectly capable of adjudicating any bona fide controversies (and dismissing frivolous ones) in accordance with the rule of law and in the normal course of business. The Constitution is in better shape than it was three and a half weeks ago, and in far better shape than it would have been under a third Democrat term. The more the Democrats push to appease their unhinged, angry extremist base, the farther they will be from the mainstream electorate.
