The other thing to wonder about is the actual numbers of people identifying as republicans and whether that is changing at all. If 60% of republicans approve but that 60% only accounts for 20% of the population.

The poll cited in the post above yours shows exactly that. It’s a 12 point swing. I wonder how or if they account for that in approval polls. If they keep assuming the same partisan split when they weight the poll it would end up overweighting republicans

Yes. Thank you for better articulating what I was grasping for! It would definitely be useful for pollsters to flesh that nuance out.

If you’ve ever been polled (I have, a bunch of times) they ask you your party and if you identify with one and if you lean toward one or the other as part of every poll.

This is the floor. These are the people in the cult. Don't expect it to go down.

In 2024, a virtual tie for the white house and 55-45 advantage for the dems gave the GOP a trifecta.

So it would need to be closer to 60-40 for the Dems to do the same.

At some point do they even care about the polls? With SC generally supportive and states redistricting, how much public support is required to keep Rs in office?
