POLLING LATEST – AT 10:18 A.M. ET:  You'd think, listening to the mainstreamers, that President Trump is about to be driven out of town by the American people.  Why, the sky actually is falling.  And yet, new polling from Rasmussen suggests that the sky is in place, and that the president's numbers are actually remaining pretty steady.  From Rasmussen:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 46% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-four percent (54%) disapprove.

The latest figures include 30% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 44% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14.

Two out of the three nights in this survey follow former FBI Director James Comey’s public testimony before a Senate panel. We’ll tell you at 10:30 what voters think of Comey’s testimony.
Just prior to his appearance before Congress, voters trusted Comey more than the president by a 45% to 37% margin, but there was a substantial partisan difference of opinion.

From comments Comey made in his testimony, the ranking Democratic member of the Senate Intelligence Committee now says there should be a probe of whether former Attorney General Loretta Lynch tried to undercut the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s handling of top security information while secretary of State. Last year, 54% of voters favored naming a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton because of potential conflict of interest concerns about Lynch and the Justice Department. 

The Rasmussen Consumer Confidence Index has jumped to its second highest rating ever.

COMMENT:  Actually, not bad.  The Consumer Confidence figure is sure to help Trump.  But he's got to survive the onslaught of investigations.

The Democratic style remains the same:  The party is very unpopular, and is today mostly a coastal and college-town organization.  The most active part of its base is far left.  Ideologically, the party is heading in a direction that is disastrous for itself and the country.  But the Dems always have an out, and that is something called "lawfare."  Do everything with lawsuits.  If you can't win with the people, try to win in court. 

So they'll try to destroy Trump with probes and court cases, having lost to him in the greater court of public opinion.  I hope the GOP is agile enough to counter the attack..
