I know it’s hard to believe, but we are fewer than 100 days into trump’s presidency, and the common refrain among his voters is “let’s give him a chance” and “at least he’s doing something”. I think it’s a normal reaction, even as they are losing their jobs and paying more at the grocery store. They have hope that his policies will make their lives better in the long run, even though every reputable economist disagrees vehemently. The fact that non Trump voters are salivating at the prospect of Trumpies regretting their vote is making them hold even more steadfast. Rather than ask about approval of Trump, the polls should ask about opinions of the general state of civil rights, security of the defense department, relations with Russia vs Ukraine, etc, to see what voters are actually thinking.
I think by the end of the summer, we could see the needle move if the economy continues to sputter. Farm bailouts and backtracks on tariffs will mitigate unhappiness with Trump, although the impending farm bailout might anger small business owners who were left out to dry.
Pollsters are asking those question and the results have been published in this forum, two in fact just today. Bottom line,
there isn't an issue where Trump is representing the majority of the public opinion. We are literally living in a tyranny of the minority.
