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
