Cannot get out of my mind how it can vacillate in the past tho, i.e., Geo H.W.Bush 90% @ Gulf War I and then like 35% when high unemployment and looking like he didn't care about that nor health insurance? (Not knowing price of milk and about those new fangled supermarket scanners--was that major demerit points as well?) Water over the damn, I guess, those were different people, lots of them are dead, more dying every day...

P.S. Scroll up and look at Luntz's list of favorable/unfavorable this poll. Look at Joe Biden's numbers, compare with Trump! And the rest.

Are we overthinking this, is it more like 40% will approve of a ham sandwich?

Yeah what is it about the approval rating question? That differs from more specific answers above, it often does.The puzzle is not with the 1/3 or like 34% or 35% of the populace that will always go with as right wing as possible on nearly any question, but the swings that make up the rest to 42% on the approval rating question.

The only thing I can think of is that there is something about him to this sliver that appeals as a single (narcissist) entity that judges things according to his own barometer instead of political party loyalty, not a politician? That he's someone that acts independently like they see themselves, by his gut, not according to political party? Still the "businessman" they voted for, makes a lot of mistakes but still better than a politician? That would synch with the anti-elite, anti-expert, anti-intellectual cynicism trend one sees a lot of articles about. That you're better off with one common person making decisions based on gut than with experts and committees. Is silly to think of someone so warped as "common", I know, but what else is there? He certainly goes his own way.

But rut roh:

“Still, Trump maintains his lead over Biden on the economy – which the poll finds is voters’ top issue heading into the election.”
