President Donald Trump Very unfavorable

Poor foreign policy. Poor domestic policy. Poor moral character. He repesent a threat to America, the rule of law, and the Constitution.

The Republican Party Unfavorable

Currently caters to a party over country mentality.

The Democratic Party Unfavorable

The democratic party does not do enough to stand against extremists.

The Supreme Court Unfavorable

Nominees have pledged to uphold established law, but once confirmed have bulldozed it. Roe V Wade and Lemon test being effectively abandoned would be prime examples.

Congress Unfavorable

Not enough done to serve their role as a crucial check and balance on an out of control executive and a compliant Judiciary.
