The problem might be in the way the Democrats are framing the question. Trump’s alleged 35% ‘approval rating’, while suggestive, may just be an artifact of the relentless pounding he takes in the Media on a daily basis. We have seen presidential numbers worse than that and somehow those presidents got re-elected. So maybe the numbers don’t mean what everybody thinks they mean.
Secondly, there always was a problem implicit in a Trump Presidency — that the Republican congress might just disregard his agenda and follow their own priorities. That’s not a knock on Trump, but more a reflection of the divide between the professional political class and the populist.

Well reasoned and concisely stated.
