some current poll numbers
34% believe Trump on Russia, 62% don't believe him
55% support more Congressional investigations into Trump; 43% no more
43% job approval rate, 54% disapprove
38% supporting reelection, 52% not

Joe: Poll numbers on Trump's vision are 'shocking'

Most Americans say the president has been untruthful about the investigation into Russian interference, according to a new NBC News/WSJ poll. More Americans want congressional Democrats to take the lead role in setting policy.

I have explained this to you 50 times. Obama ran to the left of Hillary which is why progressive women schuked Hillary for Obama.

But as both Chris Mathews and Chuck Todd, Richard Wolf and Michael Lewis pointed out, Obama turned to the middle as soon as elected. He ran out side to defeat Hillary and then administered inside when elected.

It was part of his no drama Obama and no red or blue America. And he disbanded many of the progressives who elected him and we needed them in 2010.My guess is he did not want them nipping at his heels when he turned to the middle. The middle is not what we thought we were getting.

Win or lose the people will reward us for the fight, but we will mostly win as we will have the most power i 2020.

PS and today as Steve Koracki has pointed out the country has moved to the left a lot since 08.

<,

"The majority of people loved Obama in 08 and he ran on a progressive platform. Did you forget that?"
I never knew that, actually. I always thought of him as a moderate, and his approval ratings fell like a rock when Obamacare became the issue.
