This site has a survey. I figured you wouldn't want to miss it. people-press.org Overall, Trump gets his most positive ratings among the two most solidly Republican groups, Core Conservatives and Country First Conservatives. Large majorities in each group strongly approve of Trump’s job performance (80% of Core Conservatives, 71% of Country First Conservatives). By contrast, more than 70% in the three overwhelmingly Democratic groups (Solid Liberals, Opportunity Democrats and Disaffected Democrats) strongly disapprove. However, even the Republican-leaning groups who strongly approve of Trump’s job performance are not all that positive about his conduct as president. Among the public overall, 58% say they don’t like Trump’s conduct, while just 16% like his conduct; 25% say they have mixed feelings. There is no typology group in which a clear majority expresses positive views of Trump’s conduct. About half of Country First Conservatives (51%) like Trump’s conduct as president, while 39% have mixed feelings. And among Core Conservatives, who strongly approve of Trump’s job performance, only 41% like his conduct and 51% have mixed feelings.

>> Republicans on the Court simply created a right for rich people and corporations that is not in the Constitution. LOL. Rich people like Tom Steyer. It isn't Republicans who are using Citizens United. HRC raised a billion dollars this past election season. Spent it all on negative advertising. youtube.com

The case was based on the law, primarily the 1st amendment. If you forbid people from working together as an organization to perform larger or more complex things, or if more likely you don't forbid them from doing so but you treat the organization that results and actions taken from by the organization as having no rights or protections from the federal government, then you severely restrict the liberty of individuals. If your a member of some organization that you strongly disagree with then you can leave the organization. That's esp. true if the organization, like Citizens United, was created for a specific reason. If your not on board with that reason, then don't be a member and don't support them. But don't try to shut them up by force.
