Other interesting thing: I’m looking at Gallup approval of Obama/Trump. Obama had 67% approval on his first day. This had eroded to 45% by this point in his presidency. Trump had a 45% approval on his first day. This has eroded to 42% now. According to Gallup. Media is failing.

Also: they have roughly comparable (low) numbers among independents at this point. And Dems did get btfo in 2010 midterms. So this could be bad news. But O did slightly better w/ Reps than Trump is w/ Dems now. But O did much worse w/ Dems than Trump w/ Reps now. (80 v 90 apprv).

Obama was not as popular at this point in his presidency as Trump is among his party currently. Dems were already disaffected by this point. O had 12% approval among Reps, but to those voters go pull the lever for a general Dem? I don’t know but I doubt it. The base votes.
