January 28, 2019 at 8:34 am EST By Taegan Goddard
First Read: The best news for Trump in the new NBC/WSJ poll is that his base remains as strong as ever. Eighty-six percent of Republicans approve of the presidents job, versus just 13 percent who disapprove (+73).
By contrast, Democrats are 5 percent approve, 94 percent disapprove (-89), and independents are 39 percent approve, 53 percent disapprove (-14).
As Barack Obama discovered, having a strong base can get you through some of the roughest patches of your presidency. But when youre relying ONLY on your base and when youre losing independents by double digits youre in big trouble.

Are we supposed to care?
I'd like to meet one of the 5% of Democrats who approve of his performance!!

(22,682 posts)4. 86% of 28% isn't a huge demographic. It's a fringe of voters that the R's can depend on.
That's all.
However, we have an opportunity to break into that demographic, even muddy the waters with them. Guns.
