Let’s see: His overall approval rating is 63% but on his strongest issues he polls just shy of 60%. Hmmm! It would be interesting to see the details and the way the questions were phrased and sequenced. According to Rasmussen Daily Tracking polls for several weeks his strongly approve vs. strongly disapproval numbers have been varying between + 2 and - 2. A number of polls show that his approval rating by independents has been dropping quite a lot. How is that he is still “wildly popular” among most people?
We had the same pattern with BillyBoy back in the '90's. The great unwashed thought he was doing a crappy job but they liked him just fine.
