A new PPP poll found that more voters want to impeach Trump than keep him in office, and a majority of voters wish that Barack Obama was still the president.
According to PPP, “Only 42% of voters think he’s honest to 53% who say he isn’t, and by a 49-44 spread voters outright call him a liar. Just 39% think he’s delivered on his signature promise to ‘Make America Great Again,’ to 54% who don’t think he has. Voters still narrowly want to impeach him, 45/44, and they wish Barack Obama was still President instead of him 52-43.”
Most of the polls that show Trump’s approval rating slightly improving were done before the stock market crash, and the Rob Porter story began to dominate the news. Trump got a small bump from the tax cut propaganda, but Republicans aren’t planning on passing any other major legislation in 2018. The tax cuts are it, and the bloom is going to fall off of that rose fairly quickly once people realize that their taxes were not cut, but inflation and the price of everything from food to gas to put in the car to get work has gone up.

The American people are rejecting Trump like a bad organ transplant, and the majority of voters would love to have President Obama back in office. Obama can’t come back, but the demand for him is great news for former vice president Joe Biden as he considers a 2020 run.
Republicans played their big card. They cut taxes, and voters still want to impeach Trump.
It’s all downhill from here for Trump and the Republican Party.
