(103 posts)It should go that low and lower, but about 15% of the electorate support fascism, 30 to 35% support authoritarianism. So we might be seeing some ignorant people peel off. (Those who have been truly harmed in the last year) Bush dropped to 25% but that was in a full economic meltdown. Ever meet a Bush voter who admitted they were wrong?
Thus I think 25% plus or minus a couple of points is the floor.
One caveat, Trump is a bigger loser AND if we get down that low then the Country will be in full meltdown mode.

(10,356 posts)He's at just 26% approval on Inflation and 21% on Gas Prices. 77% of all those surveyed believe Trump's policies have made the cost of living worse. 69% believe a recession is somewhat likely or very likely in the next year.

(14,753 posts)One thing that seems to be happening is the number of moving from "Strongly Approve" to "Somewhat Approve".
Also, the number of "Strongly Disapprove" shows highly motivated voters that want this to end and are more likely to overcome obstacles to make that happen.
The GOP has given up on trying to appeal to voters and concentrate on stopping people from voting.
