Chump's approval rating is cuurently 38%:

I say thirty or so percent. That is the number of hard core and irredeemable Deplorables. These are the same people who would have believed Hitler when he said the German Army was consolidating its victories in April of 1945.

(68,868 posts)Quinippiac and Gallup are harsher for him than others.
But I'd say he can't go below 35% in the aggregate.

(99,710 posts)Gallup is sampling all adults. The former group leans a tad bit more right.

(68,868 posts)I suspect they have a bit of an anti-Tr*mp lean.

(3,194 posts)And I agree, if Hitler were running, he would start with at least a 25% base.
Also the same % who would vote for Drumpf even if he shot someone on the street.

(21,786 posts)Nixon hit 27% just before he resigned; Bush was at 25% during the financial crisis (both numbers are from Gallup, another poll had Bush at 22% when he left office).

Nixon didn't have a "news"/propaganda tool like Fox; his numbers would likely have been higher if he did.
Too many agitated yahoos in this country today.

(14,101 posts)He's got the 25% permanent crazies, plus 5-7% more who just think he's smart and rich and not an insider etc. etc. ad nauseum.

(8,760 posts)My argument is this. Since he can't stand losing, he will melt down in increasingly strange ways. I think that at some point he could totally lose it in an very embarrassing way...... in public

(8,760 posts)Trump's Presidency is popping HIS bubble of delusion and it is making him angrier and angrier.
It will only get worse.

(14,167 posts)His hard-core racist base is about a fourth of the country, so once everyone else jumps ship, he'll probably be left with 25% or less.
