I know right? It's amazing I teach stats at a graduate level.

It's actually closer to 35% i think. But, you know that number comes from Gallup, an independent and unbiased source right? It's not like it's a Breitbart or CNN poll.

On that analysis it sure is. The problem is a large section of the public apparently doesn't see things that way.

I think there are shit tons of people out there who might "disapprove" of the job Trump is doing, but would still vote for him in 2020.
So they can hate him but still prefer him to any democrat? Well, that's possible and I wouldn't be shocked if it came true.
Edit: Any maybe that explains the discrepancy between his approval rating and the number of people who voted for him. Though the former has been trending downwards fairly steadily since he took office.
