I thought we should look at the polls today. It is important to note that these polls ended on June 24^th and do not include the aftermath of his decision to separate families, or his decision to meet with Vladimir Putin immediately after the annual NATO meetings, or the revelation of the truth about his failed meetings with Kim Jong-un, who has escalated his nuclear program recently. Here the latest Gallup polls.

Approval: 41 percent. Average 39 percent.

Disapproval: 55 percent.

Average for all presidents after same amount of time in office: 53 percent.

Average for elected presidents in their 6^th quarter: 57 percent.

Approval by party definition: Republicans; 87 percent. Independents; 38 percent. Democrats; 5 percent.

Although within the last two years the polls have proven to be quite inaccurate, I find it interesting that Republicans have revealed their positions on morality, the Constitution, and our nation’s position and reputation around the world. They don’t care as long as some mentally challenged and immoral man living in the White House has an “R” next to his name. This proves that being a loyal Republican means choosing ignorance over fact.

Finally, some facts about polls. Traditionally the information gathered by pollsters is acquired by phone calls, and almost 100 percent on ‘land-lines.’ America’s largest voting bloc, millennials, do not have land-lines. The age group which continues to participate in polls is generally over 50 years of age. The average age of all Americans is 37.8.

Please tell others about my blog. The truth will always be told here. Thank you.
