But his numbers on the economy are at 43% approve and 56 disapprove. On inflation it’s even worse. Only 40% approve and 58% disapprove.
Considering those economic numbers you’d think he’d be much lower, wouldn’t you? I mean, I’ve been told in no uncertain terms over and over again that “it’s the economy stupid” and that nothing NOTHING matters more than the kitchen table issues.
Ah yes. It seems people do care about something other than money. 56% apparently LOVE the random cruelty and dystopian Sci-fi images that Trump and his minions send around for their S&M pleasure. That’s what’s keeping Trump’s approval ratings somewhat aloft (even though he’s a point underwater.)
The aggregated polls show that Trump is at about 47% which is similar to his first term numbers. This despite the fact that his “shock and awe” campaign makes his first administration look like nursery school. I don’t know if it’s that they don’t really know what he’s doing (aren’t paying attention or don’t understand the full scope of it) or if they genuinely like it. But it’s clear that so far at least, his cult and quite a few others are fine with all of it.
