pardons nycfan... my badMorning Consult is a GQP poll? They are generally considered neutral to lean moderate left last I checked.
Dems doing a lot better in who would you vote for by party than they are in approval polls.
“… About half of U.S. adults, 53%, say they approve of Trump’s handling of crime, the poll finds.“… Americans are generally not happy about the Republican president’s handling of issues like immigration and the economy but are more positive about his tough-on-crime approach, according to the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Indeed, the vast majority of Americans, 81%, see crime as a “major problem” in large cities — a concern Trump has seized on as he has deployed the National Guard to the District of Columbia and threatened to expand that model to cities across the country. And his overall approval rating has increased slightly, from 40% in July to 45% now. …”

As long as the military remains in the background / as a support role, this is a winner for Trump and he knows it. People already tolerate (and many support) the sort of strong-arm police tactics we we from ICE, but I do think if there is any kind of violent use of force by military, things could turn quickly (depending on the circumstances).Who knew that implementing militaristic police states would be a winning strategy?
I suspect almost all of those who approve are those not going out and about and seeing a militaristic police state in their communities and further assume that it will not happen in their communities.As long as the military remains in the background / as a support role, this is a winner for Trump and he knows it.

Lol. Exactly. The people who approve of US military personnel patrolling the streets of American cities are folks in Bumfuck, Alabama and Sisterfuck, Mississippi where there is exactly 0 chance of US military personnel ever patrolling the streets.I suspect almost all of those who approve are those not going out and about and seeing a militaristic police state in their communities and further assume that it will not happen in their communities.
And I'd wager that the vast majority of folks who don't live in, but did visit, a truly large city last year only visited touristy/gentrified areas.What’s a “large city” to most Americans?
Oklahoma City is the 20th largest city in the US at 712,919. Raleigh is 39th at 499,825. Washington, DC is 702,250. Atlanta is 36th at 520,070 (so, the measure of a city’s population is within its city’s borders, not its suburban sprawl).
Less than 50 million Americans live in cities the size of Raleigh or larger. Less than 27 million Americans live in a city of 1 million or larger (15 million of those live in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago).
I’d guess less than 50% of Americans step into a truly large city each year.
Most Americans have no clue what an urban city is.
Not sure about Morning Consult being GQP, but nothing is more neutral (or accurate) as Reuters. It’s the Gold Standard. So I’ll take it’s reporting and polling over Morning Consult any day and twice on Sunday.Morning Consult is a GQP poll? They are generally considered neutral to lean moderate left last I checked.
This^To be fair, the UK got absolutely fucked by Brexit. Labour could be doing better, but the love child of Churchill and Thatcher couldn’t fix what’s wrong there right now. Which is why it’s so spectacularly stupid that American conservatives are cheering on our own form of Brexit.

Same for board "conservatives".I’d like to see a poll of how many Republican voters even know the constitution limits a president to two terms.
