(26,045 posts)If you look at the whole chart, you'll see he was at 36.9% in December of 2017, and 39.9% mid-September of last year. In fact, he was below where he is right now for almost his entire first year, and only pulled out of the thirties around last February, when people started seeing their for-show "pay increases" (that they'll lose again this year) from the tax cut. At that point, he climbed into the low forties where he's mostly been since then. I'm thinking that, as soon as the shutdown ends (one way or another), he'll return to the 42% area -- generally, any ill-will created by a government shutdown goes away pretty quickly when it ends.

He also has burned through the barely legit staff, and now they have all quit too.

(297,636 posts)How do we know that trumped does not have some control over polls? I find myself questioning everything now. The midterms would seem to suggest a larger percentage of trumped disapproval. Just my opinion.
