Chump is stuck at 35/60 for the fifth day in a row at Gallup.

And this is with a strong stock market and an arguably strong economy.

1. Who are these 35%?

He should be in the teens.

[bearsfootball516]

2. He must be really, really close to the base

Because normally, it would have plummeted with everything going on with Harvey and the Arpaio pardon.

3. He may get a bump out of

the hurricane if he doesn' t screw up bigly.

4. +1

[Doodley]

5. He only needs to drop to around 32 approve to have twice as many who disapprove than approve

6. The trend is not his friend

I used to do some financial analysis at an investment bank and we would see trends in our charts of earnings going up or down. And this trend is not is not his friend. I see more of an erosion. Him making an appearance at a photo op taking away valuable resources will not work in his favor. He could have waited until the water started to dissipate?

11. Might take several more days for the water to start to recede.

Trump can't wait that long to claim credit.

As far as the trend, I agree--look at the Gallup graph, and the chasm is yawning wider. 60 and 35 used to be his all-time high/low. Now it's the new normal, it seems.

14. We desperately need to keep him there or lower for the rest of his tenure...

We desperately need to keep him there or lower for the rest of his tenure, however long that tenure will be. We never want that malignant clown to see 50.

7. Probably get a Hurricane bump

Unless he pulls a George Bush level screw-up which I don't see happening.

[Atman]

8. Why do they always saying he's dropping in the polls, but...

...it's been at 34%. Every time I hear a report that he's dropped again in the polls, it's still just at 35%. What's the drop? I don't get it.

[Orangeutan]

9. Gallup must have gotten tired of conducting a new poll every day

and is just phoning in the same results, day after day, instead of actually phoning respondents.

During the Vietnam War, the L.A. Times wondered if readers were actually paying attention to its war coverage. It ran the same story every day for a week on its front page. No one called in about it.

10. There will be an uptick because he and Barbie went to the storm. Sadly.

[Doodley]

12. He will either say or Tweet the wrong thing, and where are the Democrat

lawmakers who should be criticizing his every step - attempting to defund FEMA by hundreds of millions, defunding flood prevention programs by 90 million, defunding parts of the National Insurance Program, eliminating special flood- zone building standards, and the denial of climate change, etc?

[Squinch]

13. Where, indeed?
