Trump's Base has begun to Desert him

Not familiar with that website but it seems fairly skewed.
Do you have another reference on the poll?
And yeah...I'm being lazy. Sorry!!

Politicus is a Progressive website. It's strong on opinion, but I've found their opinions are backed up by fact.
Astute readers of the OP will notice that the source for the Politicus article is actually linked to in the Politicus article. Amazing, no?
Here's the link just for you, Dave. Investor's Business Daily
ROFL! You think so?
Just teasing.
More FAKE NEWS from the NEW YORK ELITE!
If the base withers, the sycophants in Congress are sure to follow.
I pray that it is deeply humiliating to all of them.

32% of the IBD/TIPP poll matches the Quinnipiac poll which puts him at 33%.
What surprises me is that he had any significant support to begin with.
There is still nothing resembling an explanation for that. Mistrust of traditional politicians only carries one so far.

It may have an effect on the mid-term elections, although a lot can happen between now and then.
This site gives a weighted average of multiple polls (sources and methods in the link). Presently, it's got Trump's approval rating at 36.9.
The various polls are a bit like an assortment of bathroom scales. One may show you at 172 lbs, another at 175 lbs, and another at 176 lbs - roughly similar numbers that vary slightly and leave you wondering what you really weigh.
But if you gain or lose 5 lbs, each will generally reflect the same change in the same direction, meaning that the trending is more reliable than the absolute numbers.

He never really had support; it was a partisan vote and Trump was the rallying point, pure and simple. Then people that voted for him had to rationalize that action which resulted in a lot of denial. As we move further away from the election and Trump continues to prove his incompetence that disillusionment is waning. However, just because it is waning now does not mean it will not return.

I am well aware of that site, I rather look at the polls individually. That site is still using some outdated polls, it does not update its information fast enough.

I've always thought that he was a goofy, douchey cretin long before I had an inkling of his political leanings, and I was both shocked and disgusted by how readily people fell to their knees in worship just because he was hoisting their banner.

Are these the same pollsters that said Clinton was going to win the election?

I bolded what I see as the most important part of your statement and after poking around that site I would have agreed with your statement %100 if you would have stated that it's "strong on opinion but their opinions have some grain of truth in them" almost as if it were a television play that was preceded by the disclaimer "this movie was loosely based on true events". Overall the entire site seems to fall very easily into the category of gray propaganda which is the most insidious kind, fortunately for the readers their subtlety is akin to a flying mallet.

Nope. The pollsters in question were one of only two major pollsters who CORRECTLY predicted the November election.
It's easy to make any claims about them that you want to when you yourself don't back your claims up with specific facts. They at least back their claims up with facts.

Why don't you Google it and find out? While you are at it you can look at who won the popular vote by 3 million votes.
Even if the current rating polls are wildly off Trump is still doing bad.
