Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That page is still showing his average dropping a whole point in less than a week, and it seems like almost everyone else is showing an even more pronounced slide (arc)
I think his approval rating is close to reaching its floor. It could maybe fall down to somewhere between 37 and 33% and then that's the lowest it goes. That many people are just hardcore believers and will never stop supporting him. They will be talking about Trump for the next few decades no matter what happens to him.
When he dies they are going to think it was faked and will be talking about Trump sightings 50 years from now the way loonies talk about Elvis sightings.
In the link I sent, his approval average hasn't moved more than .2% in the last week. RCP is actually showing a higher approval rating than my linked one from Nate Silver. If there's any meaningful difference it just looks like it's because RCP has a shorter time window they average over.
In the link you sent
I think the important part is that the RCP one is also headed down
Also
Public opinion might change in a week when we get distracted with the next thing, and I think either way it's going to have to get a lot more intensely negative to have any kind of impact, but I think at least there is good reason to believe that most Americans are upset by the murder of Renee Good specifically and ICE brutalizing the country generally
We really need him to break through the 40% approval threshold. That's where impeachments tend to happen.
