According to the NBC News Decision Desk Poll released on Sunday, only 37 percent of adults approve of Trump’s work as president. Meanwhile, 63 percent disapprove, including 50 percent who disapprove strongly. Some of that strong disapproval comes from Trump’s handling of skyrocketing costs for most households: Among the over 32,000 American adults that NBC News surveyed over two weeks in March and April, 52 percent said they “strongly disapprove” and 16 percent “somewhat disapprove” of Trump’s handling of inflation and the cost of living.

That’s a large disapproval jump compared to a few months ago. When NBC News asked the same inflation question to Americans last August, 45 percent noted they “strongly disapprove”—seven percentage points lower than this month’s results.

      I think a lot of people have their identity wrapped up in being an insufferable asshole. A significant number of them are contrarians and believe that having a minority opinion is a shortcut to the truth, and others stubbornly refuse to change their minds because it would mean admitting that they were wrong.

        It will sink a couple of more percentage points if he detonates a nuke , or gas prices climb.

        But it will not go lower
