@anita If that's an accurate poll one or more of the following things must be true:
1. Millions of Americans are badly misinformed.
2. Millions of Americans have been brainwashed by propaganda via Fox News, talk radio programs, various counterfeit men of God, or other propaganda sources.
3. Far too many Americans just don't care about Trump's crimes. The national unemployment rate is low and the stock market has done very well, so they everything is fine.
We are focusing too much on getting him out. Of course this is what we all want. To get him out is to cut the source of his “power” and that is the Senate. This is the place everyone should be concentrating on. Everyone in their right mind should start working on a smaller scale not the big prize. Everyone needs to back their Senator or whoever is trying to unseat a Republican. If we can win the Senate but loose the White House T is screwed. Thinks smaller to get the big one.
In regards to the poll. Who are they asking? I sure did not get a call. Did anyone else get a call? I am not going by those polls. If they want to do an accurate poll then they need to contact every American household to get the truth.
We can’t have negative thoughts about the election or thinking that he is winning. This is what they want us to think. That no matter what he does the Senate will remove the punishment. That way we resign to our fate and don’t fight them. But fight we must for if that is all we have then we need to confront them at every turn. When T had control of both the House and Senate we all thought we was screwed but 2 years later the Democrats took the House by a large margin. We can take the Senate from him in November.
Have faith and keep positive for Rome was not build in one day
@jessi1978 agreed! Vote Blue no matter who..starting with your home state and counties. I strongly feel... The shitshow that IMPOTUS is.. isn't going to change.... he is a puppet being managed by handlers .. who capitalize on him as a figurehead for their propaganda. I see so many expending their precious energy on being angry and upset by that pig Rush Limbaugh getting medal of Freedom award while pseudo recognition of Black Americans present as well as "reuniting military families and honoring preemie babies and advances in medicine" ticked off selling points while pouring gasoline on white racists to act on tRumps behalf flew across the airwaves... not all are fooled : ww.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/ Medal of Freedom? Rush will never be free and Karma has come calling with cancer taking him out in a painful way... his hatred eating him up from the inside out. We? remain calm... and work quietly work "behind the scenes" and vote at every election... for those who do not align themselves with the current administration. We "may have lost the battle..let's not lose the war"
I couldn't agree more! I was depressed about last night too, until I picked myself up by my bootstraps today (an hour ago)....Also, think about what he would be like (if God forbid he actually made it through the election which I do not see) with a blue senate and blue house! The GOP are going down! 100,000,000 Americans did not even vote in 2016!
Out of the 100M those are mostly dems and independents who did not like either T or Hillery. So when they are now offered an opportunity to vote for someone who wants to provide healthcare for all, a better environment, job growth that is real (not fake like his talking points), protection for social security, medicare and medicaid, a living wage, better education, they may come out for this election.
The war is not over, do not fall for the FOX news and GOP talking points and gas lighting. We need to stay strong and FIGHT! You fight with your mind, your words, your light and your love. You fight the dark with the light because when you are in the dark you turn on a light and the dark is dispelled. Light is stronger than darkness. They want you to give up. Don't give them what they want.
I still see Elizabeth Warren and Mayor Pete on the podium (not sure who is VP). I'm not giving up. ? ? ?

re: the polls
I agree we cannot worry about the polls. I've given up on listening to them, for several reasons:
1. Polls told us that IMPOTUS would be handily defeated in 2016. While he did not win the popular vote, he still garnered way more votes than polls would have had us expect.
2. Polls, as far as I know, only call landlines, not cellphones. This means a large portion of the population (especially younger voters) goes unpolled. What 24-year-old has a landline?
3. Many people do not answer the phone (landline or cell) for unknown numbers. Again, this means a great portion of people, especially younger people, goes unpolled.
4. How many people who DO answer are dishonest? How many people who do answer are elderly? (Those who answer an unknown number on a landline leads me to think many poll responders are older, and most of them skew conservative anyway.)
5. Polling populations are often small. When a poll says "56% of persons polled...." that's great and all, but what was the number of people polled? If the total number of people polled is fewer than a thousand or fewer than 500, then 56% is meaningless. Often poll results do not indicate the total number of individuals polled; therefore, the data is misleading. Gallup polls 1000 people, I believe -- not a large sample size when considering the number of voters in America.
At any rate, let people believe the polls. Hopefully it will be a kick in the rear to get everyone out to vote in November. If it looks like he's going to be "handily defeated" (as in 2016), then many might stay home, thinking they don't need to vote. We need all hands on deck, regardless of what the polls say.
Agreed the Senate is essential. The battle is far from over, regardless of what the GOP/FOX crowd wants us to believe.
Take hope!
Agreed! and you might be surprised how many seniors only have a cellphone and no landline...being on social security you have to pare down expenses as much as possible and having both can be cost prohibitive so many cut loose from landlines. Yes.. most of us with cellphones do not answer calls we don't recognize the number of.... that is what Voicemail is for :-) Many of us choose not to participate in polls and the data is subject to being skewed by the poll takers... so.. polls are to be taken with a BIG spoon of salt I would think. Of course the media is going to be skewed as well. Grassroots is where it is at...and starting at home and working up to state,nation,global is the way the way the focus goes.
