Trump is as strongly disliked now as Nixon was before he resigned

Harry mentioned this on our podcast the other day. Baseline approval #'s miss the intensity of disapproval: https://t.co/IB3PuLoXHJ

“Among Democrats, the intensity of the dislike toward Trump is even deeper today than it was against Nixon back in 1974. Back in 1974, 70% of those who said they voted for Democrat George McGovern in 1972 (37% of the sample) gave Nixon a poor rating. That’s 10 percentage points below the 80% of Democrats (35% of the Marist sample) who give Trump a poor rating today. ”

update:

So to be clear here: Others are in the neighborhood of Trump's overall disapproval rating. What makes Trump unique is he has many more strongly disapproves than other presidents. (Others had more somewhat disapproves.) It's not a contradiction. Both are true. https://t.co/bM39J0yhZA
