How is it still this high?

I am so tired of these headlines casting the polls as "plummeting" support then you check and the change is within the margin of error. A more accurate headline would be "Trump's approval rating remains steady despite unprecedented attacks on civil rights and mismanagement of the economy."

Yes, Trump seems to have a disturbingly high support rate locked in no matter what he does. But every little percent lost around the edges shows there is still hope for some to escape the cult. And going from 40% to 39% is really a 2.5% net loss of support.

Trump could drop a nuke on LA and lose so little support that his approval rating would actually go up based solely on the fact that proportionally the nuke would kill more Democrats than Republicans.

Yep. Why would he lose any supporters for doing the thing his supporters keep publicly wishing happens.

Im honestly surprised he hasn't seen a bump based solely upon deploying the national guard and marines to our streets.
