The real reason for the fluctuations in Donald Trump’s approval rating right now
The media is making a big deal out of the fact that Donald Trump’s approval rating has inched up by a couple points in some polls. These are the kind of scare tactics that the media loves to use to keep you tuned in. But you should be ignoring it.
There is no number more irrelevant right now than Trump’s approval rating. When a crisis is unfolding, some people say they support the President whether they do or not, because they think that kind of public show of solidarity helps America’s chances.
But if you want to know how people really feel about how a President is handling a crisis, take a look at the re-election polls. Joe Biden’s lead over Trump is expanding in the latest polling averages and now stands at seven points. That tells you how people really feel about how Trump is handling this: the majority of Americans want him fired.
