If they qualified the respondents by people who aren’t receiving free money from the government, the approval numbers would drop another 20.

“If they qualified the respondents by people who aren’t receiving free money from the government, the approval numbers would drop another 20.”

Well maybe that would help explain this, which made my jaw drop:
“Less than half rate him positively when asked if he’s “honest and straightforward.”

That less than half apparently represents people who a) are really ignorant (not paying attention); b) willfully ignorant (know what’s going on, but don’t care since they benefit from the lies); or c) wouldn’t recognize a lie if it smacked them upside the head.

It would be fascinating to see a breakdown by education level and/or knowledge of current affairs as well as marginal tax rate—anyone with a negative marginal tax rate being a net recipient of goodies from the government.
