Trump Third Year Sets New Standard for Party Polarization
STORY HIGHLIGHTS

GALLUP — Eighty-two percentage points separated Republicans’ (89%) and Democrats’ (7%) average job approval ratings of President Donald Trump during his third year in office. This is the largest degree of political polarization in any presidential year measured by Gallup, surpassing the 79-point party gap in Trump’s second year in office.
Trump’s first year also ranks among the 10 most polarized years, along with the last five years of Barack Obama’s presidency and several of George W. Bush’s years in office.

The fact that the 10 most polarized years have all occurred in the past 16 years — affecting both Democratic and Republican presidents — underscores how politically polarized the nation has become.

God I was so hoping this man wasn’t killed by a white man. This was an AWFUL one to read and I’m surprised it hasn’t been splashed all over MSM…maybe it is stuck in the que? Perhaps it doesn’t rate as the man murdered was white and pro-Trump? I would think any chance to promote white terrorism would suffice, but this fruit loop probably has liberal, Antifa, or some other type of Marxist/Socialist ties they’d rather not highlight?
