What I'm wondering is, do we need to add 4 points to his remaining approvals given what just happened, or are we ok as long as it's all adults?
In my opinion - yes. Not only to his approvals, but to his/GOP policies. They are probably more popular than pollster and media pretend them to be. The opposite is true for Dem policies. And don't forget that Gold Standard polls that used by FREE press were very bad this year.
By the way, according to 538 he has been around -12 most of his term, occasionally hitting -5. If you correct this, he's likely been by 5-8% underwater occasionally hitting 0. Still bad, but just barely worse than Obama I guess. Imagine the world where media can't falsely claim that Trump is much more hated then Obama. Image the voter perception of Trump in the world where CNN didn't feed voters with Biden +16 nationally and +17 in WI.
Gi! Fake News won this time around.
