I also thought 40% was rather high. But the number is -40% and that’s the difference between those in favor of him minus those against him. So if it’s 30% liking him and 70% hating him, then that difference is this -40%. We want to see an even LARGER net approval rate. I suspect by next January this net approval could be -60%.
