A BIT OF SLIPPAGE – The president has slipped some in the Rasmussen poll since the election:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 46% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-two percent (52%) disapprove.

The latest figures include 35% who Strongly Approve of the job Trump is doing and 44% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -9.

COMMENT:  Mr. Trump was at 50% in the week before the election, and has now dropped four points.  There is no logical explanation, but some of the coarseness he has shown in statements about the election may be playing a role.

On the other hand, he is still up in Obama territory, and Obama was re-elected in 2012.
