USPOL approval rating
@saxnot
Tho clarify his peak approval rating shortly after election was 58% not 51%. It has declined since however even though at the moment he keeps beating out Obama even which is surprising
USPOL approval rating
I agree but part of the reason is that while democratic politicians are more charismatic they appear to be just as evil (or very close to it). So i think it has more to do with tthe democrats pushing people away than it has to do with any real appeal from trump.
Especially when the dems have went overdrive on the whole "I will be offended, boycott, and disown, anyone who is a conservative sympathizer". This sort of behavior is a garunteed way to drive more people to the conservative side, just human nature. Intolerance leads to increased opposition.
