NBC News November 7, 2017

WASHINGTON — One year after Donald Trump’s shocking election upset, many Americans who live in the key counties that propelled him to victory remain unconvinced that the country is better off now that he’s in the White House, a new poll from NBC News and The Wall Street Journal shows.

The poll, which sampled residents of 438 counties that either flipped from voting Democratic in the 2012 presidential election to Republican in 2016, or saw a significant surge for Trump last year, found that a third — 32 percent — believe the country is better off now than it was before Trump became president.

But a plurality — 41 percent — say the country is worse off now than it was when Trump became commander in chief. An additional 26 percent say the state of the nation has remained about the same...

These respondents view Trump more positively than Americans at large, with 48 percent giving him a positive job approval rating and 50 percent rating him negatively. That’s compared to 38 percent who approved of Trump’s job performance and 58 percent who disapproved in a national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll last month.

(It's worth noting that the "Trump counties" sample is whiter, more rural, less educated and older than the nation as a whole. Trump won these counties by a margin of 57 percent to 37 percent in 2016.)

Those old, stupid supporters of the Grand Old Stupid Party will be in for a shock when Trump cuts their Social Security and Medicare payments in order to pay for his tax cuts for the rich. Those old, stupid Republicans will probably blame Obama and Hillary when their checks are reduced. They are part of the 47% that Mitt Romney said don't matter.

 

A number of years ago I had the opportunity to get a well paying job in Canada. I wish I had pursued it more vigorously.

 

Too damn cold up there.
I had several opportunities to go to Alaska to work but my belief in not wearing a coat always stopped me.
I will never live in a place where I have to wear a coat.

 

Oh, look! Another poll. I bet it's as good as these.



Or these.

 

I've worked in Canada a lot. It's nice, but it's cold. Also Alaska...same as Canada.

I have a University of Tuktuyuktuk tee shirt. In the middle it says TUK U.

 

"Interviews: 800 Adults in Trump Counties, including 360 respondents with a cell phone" - Another Fake Liberal Poll

LOL!!!!! Tell me again how I'm supposed to take these stupid polls seriously.

No you didn't LOL!!!
You woulda taken it and lived in a small shack if you had to.

Not only do you post fake polls, spread fallacious liberal filth, but now you've resorted to lying about yourself. You truly are a very pathetic person.

 

You can thank America for funding your worthless maple leaf country. For if not for America, your country would be known as "Moscow #2" after they take over your lame-o Canada lmao!!!!

No...but pulling the plug on hospital patients who are on the verge of death to save money on universal healthcare is a sport there. Its called "Save Government Spending!" lmao!!!

 

You obviously have little understanding of polls.

What you are is obvious to any decent poster who reads your comments. Any additional description by me would be redundant.

 

Only a liberal will defend 1,000 people (with heavily leftist ideologies) used in a fake poll as 'evidents of truth' lmao!!
Tell me again how 1,000 people speak for states of over 1,000,000 people LOL!!!!

What I am is obviously better than you.
Every decent poster hates you and are also better than you.

That's quadruple losses for you. Damn you suck! lmao!!!

 

Here's another poll for ya. The Democrats are cleaning up in Virginia taking the governor state wide races and gained +13 seats in the assembly with a good chance of taking the majority.

And all of it is one great big fuck you Trump.
