Just about everyone sitting around the panel tables on cable news outlets (except Fox, of course) and the stable of reporters from most of the major papers can all agree on one thing these days. President Donald Trump is in big trouble. He’s constantly awash in scandals, his cabinet members and White House staffers are being changed out faster than most people go through socks. He’s always only a few steps ahead of the Next Big Scandal which will surely bring him down. And that Russia, Russia, Russia investigation has to turn up something one of these days, right? So the voters who put him in office must finally be developing a serious case of buyer’s remorse.
But at least when it comes to a majority of the people who actually voted for Trump, that doesn’t seem to be the case. His approval ratings are still nothing to write home about, but he’s actually been making some slow progress in an upward direction. How is that possible, given the 24/7 marathon of pundits and news anchors setting their hair on fire and telling the nation what a horrible person the President is and how he’s going to destroy the world any day now? At the Boston Globe, Diane Hessan has been conducting interviews and surveys with a large number of both pro and anti-Trump voters and provides the details of her results. It turns out that many Trump voters aren’t particularly wild about some of his comments, tweets and reported stories of alleged infidelities, but given the alternative, they’re still satisfied with their vote.
