i guess you could say that counts as good news. here's the thing, though. these numbers with donald trump, we have to step back and ask a question, do they mean what they used to mean? do they mean what we're conditioned to think they mean with the president? this is what his approval approval/disapproval has looked like. his low point was back at the end of march. he fell down to 35%. that's the lowest he's been. the highest he's been is 45%. again, by any historical standard, we'd say, wow, a president in his first couple of months in office can't get past 45, never mind 50%, has fall into the 30s numerous times. that's a disaster. that's normally what we'd say, and that's what a lot of headlines have said about trump. but remember those two numbers, 35 and 45, because look at this. this is what the campaign looked like. donald trump versus hillary clinton last year. the lowest he got, 36. the highest he got was 43.4. he would occasionally collapse into the 30s. we'd say, it's a crisis.
