Quid Pro Just Go Already: NBC/WSJ poll: 49 percent now back Trump's impeachment and removal

Mod: Apparently all of the GOP Congressional loudmouths babbling about Benedict Bonespur's impending impeachment are not having the effect some hoped for.

NBC/WSJ poll: 49 percent now back Trump's impeachment and removal (NBC Newslink): Exactly one year out from the 2020 general election, a majority of all Americans— or close to it — support impeaching President Donald Trump and removing him from office, disapprove of his job performance and back his top Democratic rivals in head-to-head matchups.

Those are the findings from the latest national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, which was conducted amid the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry against the president, after Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, and after the military raid that killed the leader of ISIS.

A year away from the 2020 general election, the NBC/WSJ poll contains other ominous signs for the president. Fifty-three percent of Americans disapprove of his job performance, including 45 percent who say they strongly disapprove. That’s compared with 45 percent who approve, including 31 percent who do so strongly.

In addition, half of Americans— 50 percent — say they have no confidence that Trump has the right goals and policies to be president, compared with just 35 percent who say they are “extremely” or “quite” confident. “What should trouble Donald Trump is both the size of the opposition to him and how locked in it is,” said Horwitt, the Democratic pollster. And the president trails the leading Democratic candidates by nearly 10 points in hypothetical general-election matchups.

Mod: Even UFC fans are booing Donald Trump?

"Trump got booed at a UFC match? That's like if Bernie Sanders got booed at a vegan bakery in Brooklyn." (Newsweeklink): President Donald Trump received heavy booing on Saturday night as he attended an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event in New York City.

Though some cheered upon the president's arrival into Madison Square Garden for UFC 244—who entered alongside his two sons, some high-ranking Republicans, UFC President Dana White and a handful of Secret Service agents—boos dominated from the sell-out crowd, according to videos shared on social media.

A small anti-Trump protest was also staged outside the arena—New York's most storied venue that lies in the heart of the city that Trump had previously called his home.

A number of people tweeted footage of the booing and added their reactions to the jeering.

Another Twitter user, Keating Thomas, said: "Trump got booed at a UFC match? That's like if Bernie [Sanders] got booed at a vegan bakery in Brooklyn."

It is the second time within a week the president was booed while attending a sporting event after also receiving a raucous reaction from baseball fans in game 5 of the World Series in Washington D.C.

Trump retweeted different footage of his entrance into UFC 244 which said his arrival had a "positive reaction," but was filmed so close to speakers that blared AC/DC's rock song "Back In Black" that it was difficult to distinguish whether the noise was boos or cheers.
