Sorry, I was talking about the polling on the economy, where he hit 29% approval this week:

Given that, yes, a certain type of smoothbrain will support Republicans no matter what - as you point out - that’s an abysmally low number. The bottom 20% or so are probably just simply unreachable. Remember what Nixon’s numbers were even as he hopped on a helicopter after resigning in disgrace and failure.
Yeah, you’re right. Nixon was still right around 30% or so as he was leaving.
There are so many people that think zero is the bottom floor on any government or leadership approval poll, but it’s not. There are always going to be somewhere between 20-30% of diehards that will claim support even as dear leader is hiding in a bunker from consequences. Nixon’s 30% – “but that’s almost a whole third!” – was actually rock bottom. Even Pol Pot could get 30%, and I have no doubt Hitler could as well. That’s the actual floor, not zero.
You really can’t point this out enough.
