Study released a day before State of the Union address shows president has lost support among Republicans

Most US adults think Donald Trump is moving the country in the wrong direction during his second presidency, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll released the day before his State of the Union speech.

Fifty-five percent of adults feel that Trump is changing the country for the worse, a 13-point increase from around the same time of his first presidency, the survey conducted from 27 to 30 January found.

The number of people who held that view also increased four points from April.

Unsurprisingly, support for the president splits down party lines.

    Well you said it. They are dumb dumbs. And dumb dumbs believe the first thing they are told, any information that they are given after that is “fake news”.

      Remember a few years ago there was a push to not call his supporters dumb, that they were much worse than that. Thing is, they can be both a reprehensible person beyond reproach and a dumbass at the same time.

      It’s easier to fool someone than it is to convince them they are being fooled.
