> It is still higher than at almost any point in his first term, Depending on which poll series you look at, it's at or a little below his support an equal time into his first term and either following a similar trajectory or dropping faster. It's true that it is still above most of the rest of his first term because his support dropped throughout the term, and it is a quarter of a year into a four year term. > So we can conclude that all that disparagement of Trump increases his support, or why else would it increase so much? It increased, insofar as it did, only when he was out of office. What seems to increase his support is him not having his hands on the levers of power.
