All that exoneration hasn’t helped Trump’s approval rating

The new Washington Post-ABC poll:
These numbers say that the polarization in this country is pretty simple to figure out. Trump’s following is rural, white, religious men and the minority of women who love them. (A vast majority of women in this country hate Trump with a passion.)
Why these rural, white, religious men like him so much isn’t hard to figure out. He’s an angry bigot and so are they. The fact that he’s a criminal and a pathological liar doesn’t mean a thing.
It’s hard to believe that Trump could win re-election with numbers like these but the electoral college favors places where those voters are and Trump will have a lot of help from various cheaters and saboteurs. So it’s hardly a shoo-in for the majority.
By the way, majorities also believe Trump lied and obstructed justice but they aren’t ready to impeach him. Recall that support for Nixon was at 19% when they initiated hearings. That number grew to a majority when the public saw the evidence illustrated in public hearings.
