What would it take for you to stop supporting President Trump? Anything? Like if he ordered the military to seize Judge Robart and had him executed on the White house lawn, would you still support him?

multiple polls support the president's order

some new polls might say something different. weirdly, in a new cnn poll (which has slight lead for oppose the ban) there were 29% democrats, 25% republicans, and 45% other, which is weird because the country is 43% democrats and 39% republican

and tbf the polls were wrong in the election. but he should have changed "extreme" to "intense" or something. utmost. maximum (the best!). naw, extreme vetting

But only the positive ones are to be believed (if you consider 48% approval positive, that is)? Why am I arbitrarily believing the Reuters/Ipsos poll (again, only 48%) and arbitrarily ignoring that ORC/CNN poll that shows disapproval at 53% of Trump overall? Quinnipiac shows it at 52%. Should I ignore these as "fake" and believe some other poll that shows a slightly better number (for trump)?

Its cherry picking, either way we look at it.

trump is quite literally stating that anything "negative", which I guess means anything he personally doesn't like, is actually fake. As in, part of some sort of deluded anti-trump conspiracy theory. That's what I'm taking away from this. Is that going to be the line going forward? News that trump doesn't like is fake?

If I start seeing an average of polls that are beyond their margin of error above 50%, I'll buy it. But even the best results in favor of the ban are still weak as hell. Xenophobes are a force, sure. But I think these numbers will spike only if there is some new terrorist attack.

Conveniently close to his reelection bid, perhaps.
