what's interesting is that he got no bump for the (relatively normal) SCOTUS pick - Reagen Feb 12, 10:13 8

- Lost in the noise. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 12, 10:21
- Hadn't crossed my mind, but why would we have expected that to help his approval? -- nm - ty97 Feb 12, 10:16 4
  - cause it's a thing normal presidents do, and would improve his standing among shaky conservatives -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 10:19 3
    - But I think the expectation that he would nominate a conservative-friendly judge was baked in. -- (edited) - ty97 Feb 12, 10:20 2
      - Historically, it's worth a 6-8 point bump. His numbers might be artificially inflated right now for that reason. -- nm - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Feb 12, 10:25 1
        
        very interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks! -- nm - ty97 Feb 12, 10:38
- Exactly. I was looking for that all week. -- nm - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Feb 12, 10:15
I wonder how much of that is people mad that the hasn't done tax changes, Obamacare repeal, etc yet - ty97 Feb 12, 10:08 6
- ... or released his taxes. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 10:21 1
  - Nobody's interested in seeing his taxes, Spawn. -- nm - ty97 Feb 12, 10:21
- He led with that, and he's still had historically bad numbers for a guy in his first month. -- nm - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Feb 12, 10:10 3
  - No doubt the numbers are bad. But if some of the dipping is related to the Drudge/Hannity "hey, hurry up and do this stuff" - ty97 Feb 12, 10:12 2
    - but then he can't/won't/doesn't know how to do those things - Reagen Feb 12, 10:16 1
      - oh, he's in WAY over his head. But the impatience from some on the right three weeks in is a bit silly as well. -- nm* - ty97 Feb 12, 10:17
