What’s going on in this country? Amidst all of the corruption, lies, hypocrisy, Trumpism, policies that favor the rich, and just plain evil of the Republican Party, a new Gallup poll shows that the GOP now has its HIGHEST approval rating in 7 years. It's actually a point higher than the Democrats’ approval rating. After trying to kill health care, passing a tax scam that benefits billionaires, trying to jam through the confirmation of an unpopular, scandal-ridden Supreme Court justice, and general enabling an unpopular president, their approval rating jumped NINE points since September 2017.
How is this possible? Is this just an outlier poll? Has GOP messaging managed to sucker people this badly? Are the Democrats doing something wrong? Is this something we should worry about for November?
Inquiring minds want to know.
