It's a decline in happiness with the way things are going in the country. For republicans that could mean not enough is being done with those uppity Black Lives Matter people.

this is probably a lot of it, but it could be some erosion on economic confidence as well.

In either case, I don't think it's a good sign for an incumbent president it happiness among their supporters falls by 60%. Unhappy people are probably less motivated to get out and support the incumbent like they might otherwise.

Maybe Trump is the one with the "enthusiasm" problem afterall.

He will claim victory, declare the job done and walk away.

It is what he does with all his businesses.
