    The satisfaction rate, which Gallup has measured at least monthly since 2001, has now topped 35% three times this year -- a level reached only three times in the previous 12 years (once each in 2006, 2009 and 2016).

    Satisfaction with the nation is now back to the historical average of 37% for this trend, which was first measured in 1979, but is far below the majority levels reached in the economic boom times of the mid-1980s and late 1990s.

    In its first four years (1979 and 1981-1983), satisfaction failed to reach 37% in any poll, but then routinely reached or exceeded that level in 1984 through 2005 polling, with the exception of 1992-1995 (excluding one 36% reading in 1994). After a January 2006 reading of 36%, satisfaction failed to surpass 35% the rest of that year, and with the economic calamities that followed over the next few years, it descended into single digits in two 2008 polls and has subsequently stayed mostly below 30%.

    The rise in satisfaction over the past two months comes amid a spate of positive economic news -- including the shrinking of the unemployment rate to levels last seen in 2000 and the continuation of an economic expansion that is now the second longest on record. Other prominent national news stories have included independent counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian collusion; President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the Iran nuclear deal; and Trump's negotiations with North Korea that culminated in his meeting Tuesday with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

    I see satisfaction is rising with independents as well. These and those in swing states can be critical in elections.

    Blue wave? Or Trump wave?

    That should dovetail nicely with the stepped up "Illegals over Americans, Pro-Iran, Pro-North Korean nukes, Anti-Tax Cuts, Pro-High Foreign Tariffs on US Goods, etc." platform the dems are embracing and promoting...

    Good news for America is bad news for the globalist Democrat Party.

    And Top Democrats like Spybama, Crooked Hillary, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Bill Clinton, and so on seem to be on board.

    Bernie can never run as a Democrat again.

    We we then see just how effective the latest leftist propaganda initiatives have been.

    Because this is a simple choice if one is informed.

    America under Trump and Republicans (most of them) = massive ****ing success and Democrats (all of them) voted against MAGA every step of the way.

    Im attending a 4th of July party this year. Last years was epic.

    Think lots of fireworks, authentic brauts, my signature lamb burgers, stone brew, "dueling" tennis ball launching potato guns, and an always popular air rifle and archery competition.

    A few lefties will be there including a German and a Brit, I will enjoy mentioning Trumps successes. Some of them would tell me there's no way he'd win. :)

    Oh, there will be a few of these for before the sunset hike to observe both fireworks shows, and an astronomy setup.

    In all seriousness, the better the economy does and with a lack of any major news events the Democrats will have to put up a better candidate than Hillary.

    I am curious what that Primary looks like
