I was looking for poll numbers for LBJ.
I was wondering how low his poll numbers were when he decided not to run for office. I discovered that he started high in numbers, and by the time they posted the last report, it looks like his poll numbers were where Trump is today.
We have become so accustom to this great divide in this country, that low forties are now seen as sustainable, where forty five years ago, it was an invitation to duck out.
