Through it all, at least half of the residents in 17 states approved of the job he was doing. But in just as many states, his approval rating was in the 30% range, if not lower.
Below 30%? Wow. If this keeps up, Republicans in Congress will run away from him in order to try to keep their own jobs.
Trump supporters, most of whom live in rural America where he enjoys a 60-70% approval rating (maybe even higher), overestimate his support. They nearly worship Trump as do everyone around them so therefore they assume he remains an extremely popular President. Meanwhile, liberals who live in urban areas where Trump has very low support probably don't understand why his approval remains so stubbornly high. 35% isn't good, but it's actually terrifyingly high given the current circumstances. Go to places like Portland, Seattle, Denver, etc and it will be hard to find a Trump supporter (and you won't find many among the younger generation)
His average support of 35-40% is probably about right. That is probably both his floor or ceiling unless something significant changes. Trump's supporters aren't going anywhere. He could pull a gun and shoot into a crowd and his supporters would cheer him on. Likewise, people who don't currently support Trump are unlikely to at this point unless something very unexpected happens.
Remember, Hillary DID win the popular vote. Trump simply managed to get enough votes in just the right places to eek out an electoral college win.
