May in Review: The "Downward Spiral" of a "Total Disaster"

It is June 1, and Born To Run The Numbers just published their rigorous and data-driven monthly summary of Trump's Presidency. Quoting Republicans, they characterize May as the "downward spiral" of a "total disaster."

An excerpt:

"For those of you who believe that there is a floor on Trump’s support -- those 40% who still support him, despite the obvious madness -- it is worth noting that his “strongly approve” score (a subset of the overall score) has swung from a high of 44% (just after the Inaugural, per Rasmussen) to a low of 26% on May 16. So there is a part of the Trump base who are indeed tempering their views – and could theoretically jump ship if the barrage of revelations continue, or are definitely proven, or both. Trump’s true core (those who think he can no wrong and will never abandon him) is probably only around 20% (Rasmussen tends to GOP bias)."
