Polls show he has many supporters even after the riot he incited. They still think he won the election.

Something is screwy in Poll World again. Just-released NBC News survey has Trump’s job approval at 43%—pretty much the norm for Trump, as though nothing has happened. But @pewresearch poll has Trump at 29% job approval, his lowest ever.

What have I been telling you, for years? This is not about the "forgotten towns" and the "forgotten men" and "globalization anxiety." It's middle class white people who resent a culture that doesn't share their lumpenized values, including racism. https://t.co/NpX0cIpT36

He lied about the election being fixed. He incited an attack that left five dead at the U.S Capitol. He got impeached. Twice. But polling indicates Republicans still have his back — and views — by vast majorities. https://t.co/DO9CsdiPEU

Horrifying that inciting an insurrectionist mob to storm the US Capitol only moved Trump approval down to the mid-30s. The political penalties for encouraging extremism and attacking democratic norms are dangerously weak. https://t.co/W1Sq2Qen1X
