8. I find it tough to believe that anyone approves of him with everything we hear every day

All I can think is that they believe what he said during the campaign rather than believing the facts on the ground - and how many of these "supporters" actually voted for him to begin with? I remember seeing the crowds at his rallies on the news - and a lot of the signs they showed on camera were looking for publicity for some very different and bizarre agenda...

The other news that stuck with me is that those who said - and still say - they approve of the "job" he's doing no longer support him "as much." With everything that continues to come out regarding his failures and his family issues, those numbers are sure to drop, too. Thanks for the encouraging post, I agree that the news these days is very disheartening.
