All polling shows Trump's approval rating dropping. Eight high-quality polls

[Demovictory9]

Eight high-quality polls have been completed over the two last weeks -- and every single one of them has Trump's approval falling.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/11/politics/trump-approval-rating-dropped/index.html

In the latest average, Trump's approval rating is about 38% in eight polls from ABC News/Washington Post, CNN, Gallup, IBD/TIPP, the Kaiser Family Foundation, Quinnipiac University, Selzer & Co. and Suffolk University.

If we just took an average of the last polls by these organizations completed August 27 or earlier, Trump's approval rating stood at 41%.
Now, not all of these pollsters show the same drop. Trump's 6-point decline in CNN's poll is the largest. When you take an average of their latest two tracking polls compared with their prior two, Gallup has Trump dipping just a percentage point.

You'd expect such differences though given sampling error.

An average 3-point decline is rather remarkable for a President whose approval rating has been one of the steadiest on record. It would suggest that something the President did had a real impact on public perception.

1. It started dropping right after McCain's death.

He faced bipartisan criticism for his response, or lack thereof. Since then, it's never really gone back up.

2. It's the Manafort conviction

It was tangible proof that the Russia probe is the real deal, even more so than any guilty pleas.

3. Bragging about sexual assault, praising Nazis, kidnapping children, Muslim ban...meh.

But McCain and Manafort are bridges too far.

4. Are some fucking people just immune to Trump Fatigue?

I've had it for 3 years now!

5. Well, his approval in this poll is 38 percent.

I'd probably say about 25 percent is the base. The other 13 is people who don't really like him, but they are in a good position financially and as long as the economy hasn't crashed, are going to hold their nose and stick with him.

7. When the economy tanks

it will drop another 10%-15%

14. Right wingers will never blame an economic collapse on Trump

It will be something Obama triggered, with a delayed reaction

[edhopper]

15. they will account for the

25% that will always support him.

8. And may 45's approval rating have the aerodynamics of a grand piano.

11. I am surprised the number of Hispanics isn't higher considering how they

are one of his favorite targets of hate. What gives?

13. This is a guess.

Trump exudes "machismo". I know a guy who admires him, and the only reason I can think of is related to sexual prowess: because he thought the dick joke at the debates was funny, he thinks Melania is hot, and admires the fact that Trump can still sire children at his age.
