"The lower tax rates, however, had an impact in the goods producing sector, with 50 percent of respondents from that sector reporting increased investments at their companies, and 20 percent saying they redirected hiring and investments to the United States from abroad."

Fabulous journalism
oligarchy/Repugs have no need to ask
defunding govt into dysfunctionality, cutting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc are ALL on the Repug hit list.
consumerism is debt financed (aka interest paying to Capitalists), not income financed,
because real household incomes remain flat, stagnant, even declining
Household debt hit a record high of $13.5 trillion last quarter
Total household debt is now $837 billion higher than its previous peak, which was in 2008 before the recession.

Get ya money up broke boy.
Conservative hits the panic button about Trump’s reelection chances:
‘Almost doesn’t matter who the Dems nominate’
Steve Deace on Tuesday said that President Donald Trump
needs to rapidly re-calibrate his political strategy
or else risk getting blown out in 2020.
In looking at the president’s tumbling approval numbers during the record-long government shutdown, which didn’t even succeed in getting funding for his proposed border wall, Deace said that
Trump has dug himself a deep hole
that he must immediately work to climb out of
if he wants to have any hope of winning next year’s presidential election.
“Trump’s negatives are approaching it-almost-doesn’t-matter-who-the-Dems-nominate territory,” Deace wrote on Twitter.
“He needs to spend this year building his presidentialresume/stature
favorables
back up with the public.

60% disapproval and rising.
Seems to me that it's fluid depending on what's going on - and since the shutdown was blamed on Trump/repubs, January identification will reflect that. If the poll Bou posted was taken 5 months ago in Aug, would the result not be different then when more people identified as Republican than now when more people identify as Democrat (and yes, the Dem advantage is much greater)? January 2018 has repubs at a very low 22 and I can't remember what was going on then that was worse than the shutdown. I'm sure it'll swing, and I guess what's important is what the breakdown is come early November 2020.

The point is that You seem to think democrats and republicans should be evenly represented in polls. Everytime there is a poll that reflects negatively on your god, you jump straight to highlighting the political affiliations of the respondents. The polls should reflect the political affiliation of the populace attempting to be represented in the poll, which they generally do.
You jumping to the number of democrats vs republicans polled is a red herring and shows a lack of understanding of polling methodology.
Brian Kilmeade States the Obvious
Fox & Friends’ Brian Kilmeade admitted on Monday that President Donald
Trump might be too invested in what “people in the media” think about him,
and that the president’s unwavering attention to said people might be getting in the way of
his ability to be the president of the United States.
Kilmeade rolled his eyes at Coulter having called Trump a “wimp” after losing his border wall standoff last week, going on to say,
“I just think the president cares way too much about people in the media.”9
“He’s president. He’s not a candidate,” Kilmeade said.
“He’s got to make some tough decisions, and he is not an absolute monarch.”

Fox News' sycophants STILL think Trash Gives The Tiniest about being President, except that It's All About Him (and his grifting)

As Trump slides in new poll, he retreats deeper into Fox News fantasyland
most Americans believe President Trump is failing spectacularly by many different metrics.
Large majorities say he doesn’t have the temperament to be president;
lack confidence that he’ll make the right decisions for the country’s future; and
(this one will really sting) say he isn’t good at making deals.
new reporting indicates that Trump’s media and political allies are working overtime to erect a protective bubble around Trump,
one designed to prevent him from grasping the most basic political realities of the moment.
This effort has two goals:
To create an alternative narrative that portrays Trump’s cave in the shutdown fight as a sign that he holds a strengthened hand,
which in turn is designed to gird him to refuse real compromise in the next round of talks.

Fox lying to Trash, dictating to Trash all kinds of policies, is traitorous.
If Trash does something really horribly counterproductive, even destructive after Fox dictates to him,
Fox will be share the blame from serious people,
but not from the old, white, male Fox viewers and Trash's cult mob.

Trump Comes Out Strongly Against Intelligence
WASHINGTON —Using some of his harshest rhetoric in recent memory, President Donald J. Trump came out strongly against intelligence on Wednesday morning.
“I’ve listened to these people with so-called intelligence go on and on, and, quite frankly, it’s a waste of time,”
he said.
“I know a lot more than people with intelligence do.”
Trump added that he has stopped receiving intelligence briefings at the White House, arguing,
“I can do my job without any intelligence whatsoever.”
He said that he has chosen, instead, to
seek advice from his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and from his elder children, Ivanka, Eric, and Donald, Jr.
“You won’t find a trace of intelligence in anything they say,” he boasted.
At a briefing for the White House press corps, the President’s press secretary,
Sarah Huckabee Sanders,
denied that Trump’s war on intelligence was a new development.
“Intelligence has never played a role in Donald Trump’s life,” she said.

Lol post count smack
The 43% and the 28% aren't from comparable questions in that poll.
43% is Trump's approval rating (strongly approve + somewhat approve). Participants weren't asked to give an approval rating for Pelosi.
The more comparable result would be Trump 39% vs. Pelosi 28%, as those are both the combined "Very Positive" and "Somewhat Positive" results for participants asked to rate their opinion on each of them. That's still an advantage for Trump, so the only reason to mislead people on that Trump-felating graphic is because they know they can rely on suckers like you to share it out without caring about your own dignity.
Stop being such a tool, expect better from yourself.
congressional approval ratings are always considerably lower, and that's not a surprise, considering they aren't elected nationally and yet these polls are conducted nationally.
McConnell's positive total holding strong at 17%
Trump administration is continuing to loosen rules that have weighed down the coal industry. The White House is reportedly prepared to rescind an Obama-era rule that requires new coal plants to be fitted with carbon capture technology. When it was first established in 2015, critics in the energy industry derided the rule as essentially a “ban” on any new coal plants.

Natural gas is banning new coal plants.
There were 1,435 operational mines in 2008. After Obama put the handcuffs on we are now down to 671 as of 2017 numbers.
Thanks Obama!
