538: Donald Trump’s Base Is Shrinking

[ProudModerate2]

People we are only 4-5 months in

True, but this time period is suppose to the high point of a president's approval ratings.
This is what makes Trump's utter incompetence astonishing. A normal and competent president would be hovering at 50%+ by just showing some self discipline and control.

Actually that was my point we are only 4-5 months in an his base is already getting demoralized

That's because no President has been treated more unfairly. We are weary, but we fight on.

Fox and the white nationalist spread this "no President has been treated more unfairly" nonsense, and the trump stormtroopers repeat it like a bunch of parrots.
Uggggg !

Some good news.

It's nice that there's more data at hand to disprove the people who keep claiming that "All of Trump's voters will never abandon him because they're all racists/xenophobes/cultists/etc.

They aren't abandoning him. They're simply a bit less enthusiastic than before.

I don't think you're seeing the big picture here. Donald Trump lost the popular vote to the second most disliked candidate in modern presidential history (second only to him) and won the EC by 80,000 votes in three states; all less than 1% margins.

If just 10% of his base abandons him by 2020 then he's screwed.

If just 3% of his base abandons him by 2020 he's screwed. FIFY

I very seriously doubt he will run again.
Actually, the orange-haired slug didn't really want the job or expected to win.
