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.
Trump holds 7,000 person rally last week in the battleground state of Ohio. 20,000 show up. No other politician in DC can do this.
It speaks for itself.
The numbers from Quinnipac are right in line with other polls. Gallup's daily tracking poll has Trump at 37%. ABCNews has Trump at 39% approval. Reuters has Trump at 35% approval. Rasmussen has Trump at 37%.
Every poll taken in the last ten days has Trump at under 40%.
I'm sure you think all the polls are wrong and its part of a grand conspiracy to attack Trump. The problem is that the trend is universal. Its a conspiracy that would have to involve millions of people.
Wise people use poll results in a constructive manner. Sometimes its necessary to change or modify the message that's being given. Trump seems incapable of that. Whether you can admit it or not, Trump's presidency so far has a dismal legislative record. The ACA Repeal lies in ruins. The tax bill will receive great scrutiny. The infrastructure bill promised by Trump has not materialized. Republicans are now attacking Trump for his sloppiness and disorganization.
The Trump presidency is doing quite poorly. If I was a person of prominence, I would not take a job within it. It is not going to end well and that becomes more apparent by the day.
Well tell us. How many? I don't remember Trump wasting time on it.
Lots of times. I recall him mentioning it whenever a poll came out with favorable numbers. You can look it up to refresh your memory, if you're interested.

He was too busy winning the election by a landslide.
Negative 3 million. That really bothers tRump and seems to really bother his followers.
