Increasing number of Americans think Trump is incompetent

[Doc]

If we believed polls Trump wouldnt be president.

That's the beauty of the RCP method, it's a rolling average, so trends are more easily identified. Check with it every couple weeks and we would be able to say something more definitive. Citing 1 poll (or even a handful) at a certain point in time is pretty meaningless.

This is what the thread was talking about.
Maybe some are realising their choice was not what they bargained for.

Point in time... and we are only a month into it. Week to week is less important than month to month, quarter to quarter and year to year.

Democrats continue to delay nearly every appointment.
Obama appointees still in every cabinet agency seeking to hamstring him.
The media is having a field day bashing him.

The numbers I'm most interested in are the economy, employment, and crime, not whether President Trump is popular.

While I get that the president can sign executive orders, pass legislation through congress and so on, but he ultimately has a limited effect on all those things, crime, economy, etc... I mean unless we're talking taking US currency off the gold standard of magnitude.

Just depends on whether you like White Castle or Krystal if you ask me... You're still being served the same bullshit whether the polls are in your favor or not...

I hate both of those, so there...

I think he's learning the hard way that his hands are tied, the way other presidents had their hands tied. I think that's also the job of opposition, in a democracy, which you say the United States is not. Well it is, of a sort. Balance and checks, right?
