If we accept for a moment that these
poll numbers are accurate, this might look like good news because Trump’s approval rating is trending downwards.
In February, 94% of those who reported voting for Trump in 2024 approved of the way he was handling his job. This has declined to 88% today.
Let’s look at this in another two months, but I suspect this means he has a fairly unmovable base that supports the personality and the avatar, rather than the policies.
I think this is all he wants. He wants to be popular with his base, and among “strong” men like Musk and Putin. And possibly the approval of the strong men matters more than his base. He’ll keep undermining the US as long as he has that.
Enforcement of the law is the only thing that will stop him. So far, that is not happening.
