The Gallup poll is just one poll . Their last couple polls have been outliers like Rasmussen.

Trump's approval rating is at 44.4% on 538.



Also, the rally round the flag effect




It’s called a rally around the flag effect. It’s a known artifact of crisis polling. Patience.

... they will return to some semblance of reality.

Maybe not,.. this idiot can not under any circumstances find his way to a second term.

That his ratings are NOT tanking. Being on the screen every day, offering solutions, and being surrounded by serious professionals is good politics. It doesn't matter how stupid his "solutions" might be, he is giving the impression that he is in charge and everything will be OK and the people who are preaching gloom and doom are wrong. It is the message people want to hear.

It is value of advertising folks. A man hears what he wants to hear and he disregards the rest.

I have done surveys for them for 12 yrs since they were polling point. I just did yesterday a huge long one where they asked me a ton of questions about how i thought trump was doing wth this and who i was going to vote for. Who i trusted with this virus, etc.

Just wait until it really effects his supporters in a very negative way, especially when they start questioning why donnie dumb fuck doesn't give a shit about them either. Just wait till it destroys more than their money, because it will all come back to haunt donnie. It will also be a wake up call to the Vulture Capitalism dogma they have been riding for priorities in this country.

No, it's not right that those that don't support him are stuck with enduring it as well, but we were all doomed to that possibility when he became Dear Leader.
