Trump declared an (unpopular) national emergency — and lost no public support

CNN’s latest poll shows President Donald Trump’s approval rating hitting 43% with voters and 42% with all adults. That’s not great, but it matches other recent polling that illustrates the President’s approval rating is clearly up after crevassing during the government shutdown in January.

Another way to look at these numbers: Trump doesn’t seem to have lost public support after declaring an unpopular national emergency regarding a border wall and having to veto an attempt by Congress to override said national emergency.

That is, Trump seems, for now, to have made the right public opinion move in declaring the national emergency. CONT.
