Trump approval polling is abysmal
I don't put much stock in polls about approval of politicians. Any one poll can be an outlier, so I look at multiple polls. The polls are subject to all sorts of biases, both deliberate (or ignorant) and inadvertent. That said, I went on over to https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-rating to see what's happening after he attacked Iran.
Scrolling down to the graph I see a significant downturn over the last month. Going down to 41.3% average approval from 43.7% on March 7th. Net approval went from -10.8% to -15.1%.
There is a link to a table of polls that specifically ask about Approval of Military Action Against Iran. It looks like many of the polls don't ask about specific issues, but some do.. For Iran it is not good with an average spread of -13.5. The only poll with a positive spread is a Harvard-Harris poll with a spread of +2.
My take after having watched as much as I could stand of Trump's statements about his not really a war, war, is that he expected praise and a boost in his ratings for this unscripted reality show he's running. Is there anyone who can give this evil buffoon real advice that he will listen to and understand? I think not.
The link for inflation shows a net -30.0 approval. I immediately thought of "It's the economy, stupid" catch phrase of James Carville in 1992.
We've got some work to do for the midterms.
