President Trump Job Approval - Where is the bottom?

I'm looking at the graph at http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_trump_job_approval-6179.html

There is a definite trend. I think that Comey's firing is the main reason for this trend and it hasn't reached its full effect yet. In a few days we will see the Russian meeting's impact as well.

My thoughts are that there will be a floor reached in the approval line. There will be people who, no matter what, will approve of tRump. My WAG is around 30% will support the hubric cheeto. SAD! (that it's so high)

Republican Senators and Representatives are following this. Sweat guys, sweat.

Google says 25%, so I figure that Trump's will be a touch higher.

The Neonazis and Klansmen will never defect and the herd core (not a misspelling) GOP base will stick around just like they did for W

By the end of his presidency, Nixon’s approval rating had tumbled to 24 percent!!

It's getting into the territory where elected republicans are repulsed by Donald behind closed doors. If it hits <30%, they will turn on him publicly.

Recommended.

I viewed a bit of fox and fiends this morning and this old man's ire surpassed my morning's coffee.

I looked at fox because I wanted to see what the a-hole in chief uses for his morning brief.

I try to watch -- and read -- as wide a variety of things for exactly the reason you noted. Extremely important.

They have three graphs with the worst (for tRump) the Adult data with a more than 15% approval minus disapproval spread.

Clinton's campaign comment implied, to me, that half of Trump backers were hard core-idealogical.

Possibly her comment was based upon research.

So how many people in numbers and in percentage of the population would be hard core idealogical -people who will always be ready to champion a Trump-like leader ?

Is it 30% of our population? . I am hoping it is less. The Trump voters I know have already pulled back.

Maybe as there is a generational change, over time there will be less?
