In 1982, after caging in predominantly African-American and Latino neighborhoods, the Republican National Committee and New Jersey Republican State Committee entered into a consent decree with their Democratic party counterparts.

Gerrymandering & Fair Representation
Redistricting
In 1982, after caging in predominantly African-American and Latino neighborhoods, the Republican National Committee and New Jersey Republican State Committee entered into a consent decree with their Democratic party counterparts. Under that decree and its 1987 successor, the Republican party organizations agreed to allow a federal court to review proposed “ballot security” programs, including any proposed voter caging.
The consent decree has been invoked several times, by the parties to the decree and by others. In late 2008, the Democratic National Committee and Obama for America sought to enforce the consent decree, claiming that the RNC had not submitted alleged ballot security operations for review. After the election, the RNC asked the federal court to vacate or substantially modify the decree. The court denied the RNC's motion to vacate the consent decree and ordered the decree remain in effect until December 2017. The RNC then appealed to the Third Circuit, which unanimously rejected the appeal and affirmed the District Court's decision. A subsequent petition for rehearing en banc by the full Third Circuit, and a certiorari petition to U.S. Supreme Court, were denied.
On October 26, 2016, the DNC filed a motion asking that the court find the RNC had violated the decree. On November 5, after abbreviated discovery, the district court denied the DNC’s request, ruling that the DNC had not provided sufficient evidence of coordination between the Trump campaign and the RNC on ballot-security operations, but will allow the DNC to offer further evidence after the election.

highest average ever since he took office

That means his actual rating is around 58% or so....

That means his actual rating is around 58% or so....

he was elected at 48. he doesn't need to get over 50% popular vote

[Jarod]

he was elected at 48. he doesn't need to get over 50% popular vote

This is true, but a 46% makes it very hard to get the popular vote.

He has never been popular, thats for sure, the question is at these numbers who can excite the base more, and if the Democratic nominee is even slightly more popular than HRC.

He had a good week, but 45.9% with a healthy economy is not good, and doubtful it will stay there

I go by an average at 538. He is bouncing in the same range he has been in for over a year.

538 is weirdly weighted.
I find it an outlier most of the time. But whatever the number the TREND is on the way up
It started with Impeachment..now let the Dems get a nominee and we'll get a better idea
