because they actually agree with his racism, misogyny, xenophobia and Nazi-ish nationalism and find his boorishness to be charmingly macho. They will never be convinced that he is anything but the savior who will Make America Great Again. There will also be others who are probably starting to figure out that he isn't what they voted for and is likely to screw them, but human nature being what it is, can't bring themselves to admit they were fooled. I do think his approval ratings will drop more but will plateau at some point. Nixon bottomed out at 24% in 1974 when all the Watergate dirt came out but he did manage to hang on to that core of true believers. After he resigned it was hard to find people who'd admit having voted for him, but even then there were some people (a few of my relatives included) who believed he'd been framed.

33% is probably rock bottom rpannier Mar 2017 #1
