Damn. That's insanely low. These stats are even worse from the same page.
Yeah. This is what I'm wondering about.
49% Republicans say he's honest. Fucker literally said it was sunny when it was raining. Like how much are you not paying attention?

Trump's flips were due to rural populism, not libertarians.

Alternate headline: 67% of Republicans still incapable of independent thought.
Unless there is a massive tragedy on US soil. No, he would have to sell it and he's failed at selling every fucking thing. ACA was supposed to be gone with ease. He did the exact opposite. His dumb ass mouth has got more people for it, then there was at the start of his term. It's amazing how him not saying anything is currently the best possible outcome for the party.
He hasnt really stabilized. He goes up a little and down a lot pretty often. Hes currently trending down.
Thats actually really low. If it drops that big again (80-> 67) into the 50's, you will see discussion from Republicans on impeachment. You can't win an election if not even half of your own party supports you.

Imagine how high he can get that number by going to war!
I think the funny part is that even only 31% of Republicans see him as level-headed.
It basically means that voters of the same party are willing to set aside their differences to fight against the common enemy, democrats for their case. Democrats need to understand that as well: keep the in-fighting in the primaries but come general elections, fight the opposition party.
That would increase the national debt! I thought Republicans hated that?!!
He has been hovering around 38-40 for 2 months now. In what world is that not considered stable?

He actually did stop his slide as of two months ago. He's barely been trending up since then.

Could this be explained as more sane Republican voters identifying as independent out of disgust, so now you only have the maniacs left?

Pretty much, like how West Virginia used to be solid Democrat for prez elections back in the day

If Trump believes it, is he really lying? - Kellyanne Conway

Yup. His response to Charlottesville stopped the slide.
No, because that "Shy Tory" effect's been happening for decades. This is 67% among self-described GOPers. That's bad.
What really stops his slides: Trump getting out of the news entirely. Was the case during the campaign, is the case now. His approvals start ticking up as long as his party can stop actually having to acknowledge him directly.

I believe Nate Silver said as much in response to a previous poll. His approval within his party can stay high if people who hate him leave the party.
He was in the news 24/7 when Charlottesville happened. He ticked up right after.
It's not unfathomably high given that republicans are unfathomably out of touch with reality.

I'm curious what he did to turn the 6% since that's down from 11%.
Ive said this before, but this has to be statistical noise.
Cue a Trump tweet proclaiming it's the highest it's ever been in the history of America.

Holy shit 32% overall and 67% for republicans!? If you guys haven't been paying attention, this is a STEEP drop off, especially for Republicans which last i saw was mid/high 70s?
What else happened that shook his base so much? Was it the constant stupid remarks or did his attempt to rip healthcare out of their arms several times do the trick?

Off topic, but I friggen hate that guy.
It's within the same range it was all of September. He's had worst periods in September and August was even worse. Two days out of the past 66 do not make a trend.
I'm pretty sure that's his role in the show.

26 percent of Americans believe Trump is a strong leader; 23% say hes honest; 16% say hes level-headed and 24 percent believe the country is moving in the right direction.
Trump playing limbo with his approval ratings.

That is the silver lining in all this. His approval ratings are abysmal compared to the norm.

5% Democrats is technically zero. I don't read too much into it. It's just statistics.
I could say I approve of Trump, if my expectations were the lowest of lows and only that, i.e. "well, he hasn't got us in a war yet, used nukes, repealed the ACA, or built a wall."

What's funny is that he's probably losing support because he hasn't gotten rid of Obamacare.
I have to believe this is statistical noise or a strange, but irrelevant, blip on the radar. I believe the pundits and pollsters have been saying that Republicans would have to seriously consider censuring or impeaching Trump if he dropped far below 80 percent. Obviously a lot is happening right now, but we would have/will be hearing more panic from the GOP if this is very accurate. I want to see the news reactions to this first, but I think it's probably just an anomaly. For now, anyway.

How tf do 5% of Democrats approve of Trump?
Find out who those people are and switch their party because theyre obviously just trying to sabotage the party in local elections or something.

They would vote for the R regardless, but it should also disfranchise enough not to turn out and vote in general.
