Trump approval ratings thread 1.1

[President Johnson]

My guess is that if you are above 45%, the median voter will probably hold their nose for you, but by 40% all the truly undecided voters have turned on you. By 30-35, people who voted for you will not vote for you again and by the time you are under 30, people will start peeling off bumper stickers. I don't think you can get under the high 20s.

President Nixon hit 24% approval shortly before his resignation.

The lowest approval rating for any politician I can recall was Governor Robert Taft of Ohio whom per Wikipedia: In the wake of convictions for the ethics violations (see criminal conviction), Taft's approval rating bottomed out at 6.5 percent, according to a late November 2005 poll by Zogby, giving him quite possibly the lowest polled approval rating ever by a United States politician.[58] A SurveyUSA poll that same month gave Taft a rating of 18 percent.

Yes Zogby, ha ha whatever. But IIRC there was another poll placing him at 11% approval in 2006. That's astronomically bad.

By the fall of 2013, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett had one poll with 16% approval and 76% disapproval. However, he lost "only" by ten points in 2014.

I'm curious whether Trump's approval ratings will rise after the G20 summit.

[President Johnson]

I would love him to go under 35, but I'm dreaming

Could happen if he unilaterally pulls the Obamacare money.

Or if he fails in congress with tax reform and infrastructure as well. This would be the ultimative proff that the guy is a fraud and not the great deal maker he claims to be. And then, there is, of course, still Russiagate looming.

[President Johnson]

LOL. I actually expected Trump to improve with the NK crisis because people usually rally behind their leader in such times. But likely that most Americans actually blame him for the situation, since he had a very poor performance there (or anywhere).

navy under 40
blue 40-43
light blue 44-47
white 48 or 49
pink 50-54
red 55-59
maroon 60-69
reddish-black 70+

If you put all states with a disapproval of less than 55% in his column, he's still relatively close to 270 electoral votes.

Gallup (September 2nd)

Approve 34% (-/-)
Disapprove 61% (-/-)

I don't see a Harvey bump coming out of this. He's just too hated. Besides, his response hasn't been great compared to Obama's towards Sandy.

His half-spirited $1 million pledge walk-back isn't going to help either.

Especially when he continues to suffer from one self-inflicted wound after another... Looks like Charlottsville resulted in lasting damage for the God Emperor. Not to mention his inability to get anything done in congress.
