who the pollster was. If I'm recalling this correctly, it was late, probably mid-2020. I can envision him going lower this term, but not lower than 28 to 30 (though I'd love to see that).

The first graph in this Wiki entry is an easy visual aid.
It looks like his low was 35% just as he was about to leave office. But, there is a precipitous decline for about the last 4 months, of around 11%.
It also looks like he touched those sane lows in late '17/early '18.
So, this 38% is not his all-time low.

That's where he was in 2016. He's made some headway with minorities, hard-core racists, young people, and yes, even women.
He's lost some along the way as well, but I'd estimate his hard-core floor at around 38%, plus or minus 1.5%.
It's going to be a battle, perhaps literally, to get our country back.

"MAGA" and 'Thank you president T💩p' on the trail. On the way back we still had some water, so, we used it to get rid of the "T" leaving 'rump' and the "M" leaving 'AGA'. Someone with chalk had written "sucks" under MAGA, which was subsequently crossed out by more chalk. All of this in 30 minutes. Chalk wars. Haven't been back today to see what it looks like.

Once he is deposed, the number will drop into single digits, but anyone who voted for him EVER is accountable to history and subject to retribution and fines in my mind. I want to address taxation burdens and debt retirement and social programs, but first things first, I want repairs for what Trump has broken and I want his fans to pay full freight for it.

If people thought the Treaty of Versailles at the end of WWI was draconian, you better NEVER let me get control of the purse while Billionaires ride dick-shaped rockets and young girls die in parking lots and ERs unable to receive vital health care. While we have allowed billionaires to cut their taxes and kill programs and the poor right now, if I ever get control of this mess, that equation is getting inverted immediately! The currently rich and powerful are going to find out how much fun being broke, ignored and abused really is.

Most of the other reputable polls have him at about 45%. Even in this poll, the Republicans are more favorable than the Democrats, although they are ahead in cares about people like me.

This is just one part of the complete report...

PRESIDENT TRUMP

Thirty-eight percent of voters approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president, while 54 percent disapprove. In Quinnipiac University's April 9 poll, 41 percent approved, while 53 percent disapproved.

Voters were asked about Trump's handling of seven issues...

immigration issues: 43 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove, with 3 percent not offering an opinion;
deportations: 40 percent approve, 56 percent disapprove, with 4 percent not offering an opinion;
the economy: 40 percent approve, 56 percent disapprove, with 4 percent not offering an opinion;

trade: 38 percent approve, 57 percent disapprove, with 6 percent not offering an opinion;
universities: 37 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove, with 9 percent not offering an opinion;
the Israel - Hamas conflict: 35 percent approve, 52 percent disapprove, with 13 percent not offering an opinion;

the Russia - Ukraine war: 34 percent approve, 57 percent disapprove, with 10 percent not offering an opinion.

and never mentioned at all on RW Fox or media. Which is how the country stays informationally divided.

Q Polls are not as old or as big in sampling as Gallup, and so the sampling can still be skewed against being representative of the country, and so not as valid and reliable as Gallup's.

Which means there's not really an accurate snapshot of the political approval reality out there.

Here's their methodology. https://poll.qu.edu/methodology/

I mean, only 1,000 people polled?
I know that it's impossible to poll 1% of the country (it would be a 3,330,000 sample), but still... a much larger sampling would give the public a bit more confidence.

All this does is feed into the disparity between national election voting counts and the so-called national polling.

If he's the same or goes up, the battle's gonna be more uphill than I thought.

On the other hand, if his numbers take a hit, that's a small ray of light at the end of the tunnel.
