Travesty — Tragedy — Catastrophe
Trump’s trip to Puerto Rico was a total travesty.
He toted up body counts to define what’s a tragedy.
So let’s take the occasion
To consider Trump’s administration —
Now that is an unmitigated “real catastrophe!”
Day: October 6, 2017
Few Maintain Inter-Party Friendships
64% to 55%
A new Pew Research survey shows a majority of both Republicans and Democrats say they have “just a few” or no friends in the opposing party. About 64% of Democrats and 55% of Republicans say they have “just a few” or “none” close friends who are Republicans or Democrats, respectively.
Dissatisfaction with Republicans Is Growing
62%/23%
A new USA Today/Suffolk University poll finds that voters’ assessment of the Republican Party has plummeted to 62% unfavorable/23% favorable, significantly changed from the 55% unfavorable/32% favorable registered in a June poll. The Democratic Party recorded a 48% unfavorable/37% favorable rating in the most recent poll. Said pollster David Paleologos: “The Republican Party is in freefall. In March the GOP had a 48% unfavorable rating, in June the negative swelled to 55%. Today the GOP unfavorable is 62%. What’s next?”
Americans’ Confidence in News Media Growing
48%
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds Americans are increasingly confident in the news media and less so in President Trump’s administration after a tumultuous year in U.S. politics that tested the public’s trust in both institutions. The poll found that the percentage of adults who said they had a “great deal” or “some” confidence in the press rose to 48% in September from 39% last November. Earlier this year, Trump branded the entire industry as the “enemy of the American people.”
Why Americans Want Guns
“There is a sense that society is collapsing — the culture is collapsing. We’re collapsing in crime. The world is collapsing. Crazy people with bad haircuts have nukes. Everything is going bad — terrorism, etc. They want to be fully armed on their hill, at home… They’re Americans, and they want to go down fighting.”
— Peggy Noonan on “Morning Joe”
There’s a 54-Point Gap Between Dems and GOPers on Gun Control
22%
FiveThirtyEight:“Just 22% of self-identified Democrats chose protecting gun ownership rights over limiting gun access, compared with the 76% of Republicans who did. This 54-point gap is about as wide as you’ll see on any issue.”
