breaking down the latest on 538 - and this is before the sippy cup and slow rampman incidents

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/

three polls have the asshole at an adjusted approval under 40.

the differential - 54.9 thinks he sucks (and can't sip) - 40.8 are apparently brain dead cultists.

But that differential - 14.1 - widest since Jan 2019.

Can that maw open even wider as election day approaches? Will he swig anything in camera view? With all future movements be on level ground?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Floor may be around 39 percent, but his problem is that a lot of these people are starting to get their opinions of him baked in, so even if his approval doesn’t drop more, it may just stay stuck at 40-41 percent.

And the election is now less than 5 months away and early voting starts in three and a half months. That’s not much time for him to recover.

but his approval rating may fall further than that. There is historically a tipping point when a president or governor looks certain to lose, and his or her approval collapses further. This is disapproval of how they are doing politically ... losing and likely to drag others down with them.
