approval is 41.8%, which is slightly down, but still not that far down from where he was on inauguration someday. the president s strategy has been to hang on to his base. he still has his base. so it s not clear to me that these numbers are game changer numbers that will influence the way the administration handles the mueller investigation going forward even though, yes, a lot of americans want to know what he finds out. the numbers, the average, and you do always want to watch the average. the most recent washington post abc news policy had lower than what has been the president s average, 36%, and that whopping 60% disapproval rating there. ron brownstein, you made the point earlier that in polling, that a large portion of people who disapprove of a sitting president, you said i think even 90% in some polling, go on to vote against his party in that midterm election.
