The Plum Line Opinion The anti-Trump backlash is gathering force. These new polls confirm it.

[dherd]

• A new Quinnipiac University poll finds that Democrats have opened up a 14-point lead in the battle for the House, 52-38. Voters want Congress to be more of a check on Trump by 58 percent to 27 percent.
• A new CNN poll finds that Americans approve of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation by 50-38, a new high in CNN polling. By 61-33, Americans say it is examining a “serious matter that should be fully investigated,” as opposed to the “witch hunt” that Trump rage-tweeted about again this morning.
• A new NPR-Marist poll finds that Democrats lead by 12 points in the battle for the House, 50-38. Trump’s approval is at 39-52, making this the fifth recent poll to put Trump below 40 percent.

Crucially, these polls all dovetail with the basic story we’ve seen throughout this cycle, which is that Trump has provoked a backlash among minorities, young people and college-educated and suburban whites, especially women — and even seemingly among independents — that has powered Democratic victories in unlikely places. The new polling finds the backlash is running strong among these groups right now:

The WP won't give TRUMP any credit for a raging economy, but yet today, their editorial board is blaming TRUMP for the hurricane that's about to hit the Carolina shoreline.

"raging economy" def: one in which less jobs per year are being created while real wages are stagnant. Usually accompanied by the labor force participation rate being unchanged from 18 months ago, and the deficit and debt increasing substantially.

I was curious what the moron crowd thought.
