He was elected at 35% and hasn’t dropped below 35% at any point after his inauguration. A small drop after the inaugural period isn’t a loss of support, it is just the basics of reality. His support isn’t large, but his base votes at high rates. I’m not saying it looks like some kind of red wave just that nothing in the polling data indicates he will perform notably worse than he did in 2016. So unless the Dems have a candidate who can perform a few % better than Clinton did in the states that actually swing, he’s still viable. The protests give me more hope than the polls do because they actually show something different about now than we saw in 2016.
