It's not what you'd call dramatic, nor at record levels, but the trend is certainly going against Trump since the US government partial shutdown. (from FiveThirtyEight)
Will Trump's decision to reopen the government stop the bleed? How will that famous base respond to what is essentially a cave in?
It's fascinating that Trump's approval/disapproval has tracked in such a tight trend. When big issues or controversies hit they move, but overall they always remain in a tight range. The partial govt shutdown is a great example, the trend lines are moving back toward one another.
As above. Trump will probably not lose the next election. Democrats will have to win it. In my view, anti-Trump won't be enough. They have to be for something and capture Trump ground.
Aaaaaand he's back where he started. Remarkable.
Trump's approval rating is now higher than Obama's at the same time in their presidencies.
What impact has the impeachment investigation had on Trump's approval rating? Not much. Teflon Don.
Following the impeachment trial, Trump ends with his approval at the top of his range. He didn't emerge unscathed. He came out stronger.
The marked improvement in Trump's approval rating also corresponds with US voters having a good look at the Democratic candidates. That's not a good sign if you're wanting a change of president in November.
Trump's handling of Covid-19 must have impacted on his approval rating, right?

Nope. If anything it's currently trending up.
Trump's approval, while dropping back, remains steadfastly within a tight range, but I wonder what older (Republican) voters concerned about covid think. Whether he wins or loses will be decided on very small margins in key states - and that demographic will be one of them.
